Hi Desert Round-Up - May 25-28, 2012

[Roger]

....it could not do that two years in a row.

Oh yes it could! It's been blowing pretty good here the last few days!

Alaska eh? Have a great time!

[Jason]

I was waiting for someone to mention the W word. Weather! That's the only one mentioned. The other is not allowed. Roger or Scott, if you guys plan on being out and about on Friday morning, if you have signal, give me a call, txt, or even a smoke signal where on the general location you will be. I kind of remember where we were camped last year but since you will be out there on Thursday you might decide on somewhere else.
Must remember to bring firewood.

[Roger]

Jason,

I was thinking we should try camp near the base of the hill so as to maybe block the "W" a little for the tents. I will try to also position my trailer as a "W" Block for the tents and trucks with tents

What do you think??

BTW, I think the phone will work. If not I will be sure to put a note on the bulletin board. Or call me on the 2m Ham freq. Oh wait, you're not a ham....

[Zoobi]

It looks like I may be bringing my camper. Old white dually, big white camper. Makes a good "W" block.

Oh but I am a ham and I like it too. hmm.....ham
All that works for me. Besides, the W doesn't scare me, R and S does but not W. See video of said truck tent from last year just this time I need to do a better job of securing the tent down. When I pull in, I 'll look towards the right.

Roger, this is a great trip. We are presently in Dawson City, Yukon and the weather is wonderful. We will be back in the high desert mid-July, but then we head to the beach....and then to Lake Powell. Retirement is tough, as you know. Hopefully we can get together in the Fall.

[DanPartsman]

Looks like I'm going to make this my first trip with the MJR Crew, and it will be my first High Desert roundup since about 1995 (my crowning achievement in 4wheeling - won the potato race that year)! I plan to be out around mid day Friday, but don't really know anyone from the group yet . . . so hopefully I can find a way to meet up with you all!

[Roger]

Wicked XJ, go to post #22 in this thread. I have my Ph # in a secret code. But you'll figure it out!

[Roger]

Here is a Photo of my Jeep so those of you I haven't met will know what to look for:


Don't forget to bring some firewood! (No wood with nails or pallets allowed on BLM land)

I'll try to monitor CB Ch 04 and 146.550 MHz Simplex. My call sign is n6ujm or you can call n6mjr (club call)

[DanPartsman]

I'll give you a call when I get out there Roger - hopefully when I see your Jeep, it will be a little more horizontal than the picture! I will be out sometime around 1 or 2. C you all there.

[Jason]

Packed and ready to go. See ya noon-ish.
Dan, if you if see a silver f-150 flat towing a green/black yj, rolling through your area, that's me.

From Roger: Camp is .4 mile down the main road from the kiosk on the left. The MJR banner is at the concrete crossing. Don't cross it. Veer slightly left at the sign.

N 34 33'36.7"
W 116 46'24.9"

[Jason]

we have quite the MJR turn out here. Representing! Good times. Polictics aside, glad to have the support.

[Navy-Jeepster]

Hope they have a good turn out.
This is a good fund raiser for Cal4 over the years.
