The annual Cal4WDC High Desert Roundup event was held over the Memorial Day weekend in Stoddard Valley just south of Barstow, CA. Jason and his son, Josh set up camp in their usual spot just west of the registration area. I forgot how many years Jason said that he's been coming to the event, but he's camped at the same spot each time. Drew (Drewminator) joined us on Saturday. He brought his new (to him) well-built YJ. He arrived just after midnight on Saturday morning and left just after dinner on Saturday evening, so I didn't get any pictures of his rig. Here's a picture of our campsite:
Probably because of the economic conditions, the turnout for the event was lower than in past years. Here's a picture of this year's HDR basecamp taken from a hill southwest of camp:
Compare it to this picture of the 2006 basecamp taken from a hill northeast of camp:
There was one serious accident; the occupants, although sore, are OK. Here's a link to a video of the rollover that is posted on another site: http://www.rubiconscat.com/Stoddard/...Rollmovie.html
