Well, the 3rd (or 4th??)Annual Jacoby/3N16/3N14 Night Run turned out to be an awesome little run. Lesa and I (avjeepfreek) met up with Mitch and Dennison (Great88) and Dan and Steph (VVJeepFreek) Roger and Jeri lyn at the Valero in Lucerne Valley about 7pm. We headed up to the trail head at Jacoby Canyon and got there by 7:30 were we met John and Kristi (Nipple Twister). We aired down and waited til about 8pm to head up Jacoby. It was a beautiful night and we had an awesome full moon to guide us. We made it to the top of Jacoby and stopped at the Holcomb Mineing area along Holcomb Valley Rd (6N16) to do a little star gazing. We then headed down 3N16 past the Holcomb Valley Camp Ground to 3N14. About half way down 3N14 we were greated by a large Skunk in the roadway and it seemed that he wanted to lead the trail ride for a bit. We followed him down the trail (From a good distance!!) for about a 1/4 mile until he had had enough of the line of Jeeps following him and he decided to "Exit Stage Right!" into the bushes with his tail straight up in the air.
About a mile up the road we ran into another Jeep headed toward us, turns out it was REED and Andy, who were also signed up to ride with us. They told us they had some Jeep trouble with Reed's XJ and missed us at the Valero by about 10 minutes. They ran back to Andy's and got his New JK and figured they'd head up 3N14 from Apple Valley and try and catch us. and we stopped of at the Big Pines Camp groung for a much needed potty break, We all headed the rest of the way back down 3N14 into Apple Valley by about 1am. We aired up, said our goodbye's and headed home.
Thanks to all who attended! Feel free to post pic's if you got any!
All in all it was a great night for a trail ride! Got to hang out with some great old friends and met some great new friends as well!
Until the next one!
