April 2010 event - Calico

ShowStop · 03-10-2010, 04:05 PM

Calico run - April 17-18

One of my favorite runs of the year! Who's down to join us in Calico on April 17-18th? If we get a good turnout, we should be able to lead several different groups. Two hard groups to tackle Doran and Odessa (ideally 2 separate groups). 33's, locker and body armor are recommended. Then a 3rd group to hit up Philips Loop, Mule, Wall Street Overlook, Early Man Site and plenty other trails as time permits. 4wd minimum, body armor and larger tires / lift recommended.

So who's going?

Darwalk · 03-10-2010, 05:30 PM

I will be there with the trailer and the wife/kid. This is one of my favorite wheeling places.

Scuba · 03-10-2010, 05:57 PM

I've been wondering about this run.. I'm going to try my damnedest to make it.
So count me in

Rick, if you head up Friday what time are you going to charge from Diego?

Also anyone bringing dogs??? I might have to bring my pit along...

Darwalk · 04-02-2010, 04:23 PM

I won't be going any longer, as I got pit passes for the races at Long Beach that weekend. I will be getting my Calico fix the weekend before
