I went to The Valero this morning to meet Mike (Deepwater), John and Kris (Nippletwister), Chris and "Legs" (Chris142), and Scott and Jan (Scott198) for a run up Rattlesnake and across 2N02 and then down Jacoby Canyon.
Rabbit Dry Lake (not today!)
The day started out warm and nice as with headed up Rattlesnake Canyon from Hwy 247. The canyon trail seems to change everytime we go up or down it. Chris was just there a week ago and he said there was more water this time. We poked along only seeing one group of Jeeps heading down.

Scott
We stopped for lunch at the Mining Camp.
Mike
After lunch I showed the group one of the many mines in the area.
Not to self.....Hold the camera away from your heavy breathing! Too Funny.
Next I led everyone across 2N02 and we stopped at the Spanish Smelter. This was a new spot for the group. A very awesome site.
Next we ran 2N02 to Baldwin Lake and over to the Lucky Baldwin Mine for a quick break. We ran into a group of OHV folks that were on their 4x4 CERT training run. Danny was the leader today. I finally was able to meet Stephen (Karstic) in person. Stephen was assisiting in the training.
We left after a visit and headed down Jacoby Canyon. This short Blue Square trail is always one of my favorites! There was still several snowy sections, plenty of water running down the trail, mud, and just a damn fun time.
John
We aired up at the end of the trail and everyone went their seperate ways home.
Another incredible desert sunset
Thank you everyone for a fantastic day on the trail! 8people and 4 dogs worked perfect together.
