No longer probable. I will be at Western by 9 AM.
I have only a CB, but I can get NOAA weather loud and clear!

Great time guys!
10.... I mean 9 rigs (
) and only 1 J**p!!!
Made it to the Gold Camp without too much trouble...
Then Gold Camp to 376 to Bull Park. Took Bull Park to it's end and had a nice windy lunch.
Back to the Bull Park trail head, lost three rigs (one due to doggie diarrhea, but at least the dog pooped in a Jeep
)
The rest of use took 379 over to the Mt. Baldy trail. 379 was a little snowy/icy in spots, but no real issues.
The second half of 379 and all of the Mt. Baldy trail had been grated, so no longer "sketchy" in any areas.
Down Mt. Baldy, out through Frosty Park and back to Gold Camp.
We all had a great time. Thanks for everyone coming out!
I forgot the camera, so no pics from me. Anyone grab any?...

I took a few pictures...
Back out of Bull Park:
A few rigs headed home, but the rest of us continued up to Baldy. Great view from the top.
We encountered a CRV on the way out through Frosty Park. I think I saw a piece of it further down the trail

Sorry to miss this; I could've added a 93 FZJ80 to the mix. Looks like a great time. I couldn't get loose from other family commitments until late. Thanks for the pics.
In OKC next week and hope to hit the trails there.

Thanks for posting. That phone of yours sure takes some nice pics (at least compared to the lousy camera in my phone). I'll be sure to bring the camera out next trip to get some pics of Frank in action.
No worries man. You're welcome to come and join us anytime! The more the merrier.
Have fun wheelin' in the mid-west.

November Run: Official 100 Series Track
Even though I purchased the aforementioned Grateful Dead album for the trip, come Saturday morning, I just wasn't in the mood...
So, here's the official 100 Series track for the November run:
City of the Dead of The Clash's 1980 Album Black Market Clash
Enjoy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LcxXSVUMPhI
Yes Leon, I realize I have too much free time on my hands.

Then why don't you have that radio figured out better
Great summary and pics guys. Here is the rest of the story Travis alluded to...
Neil came with a friend and his 4runner. I left the Western a few minutes early to get the air tank from Luke and told the guys I would meet up with them. Well when I got to Divide I was told Neil kept going and didn't turn into the grocery parking lot. Apparently his radio wasn't working and was out of cell phone coverage so I left a message for him. After calling my wife and telling her I lost our son we continued on towards Gold Camp Road. After leaving Divide and with spotty phone coverage I got a call from my wife that he had turned around at the Tarryall Road. When I relayed that to the group by radio Sam, Travis and Eric volunteered to go back for him as I was in front leading the way to the Gold Camp turnoff. I got back on the phone somehow and told my wife to try and get a hold of Neil and to look out for those guys. After waiting for about 20 minutes or so at the Gold Camp turn off they all made it back into the herd.
I started to help Neil air down his tires when he told me his gas was down to just above 1/4 tank
He said he had over half a tank when he left and Eric told him that was before he drove half way the Buena Vista At this point we aired up his tire and sent him back home. A few life lessons were hopefully learned 
and thanks again to Sam, Travis and Eric for going back.
(insert Paul Harvey voice) - - Now you know the rest of the story...
