Trail Run: Celebration back to the ROCKS! Calico bound March 8th weekend

[I H8RDS]

Hey everybody!

By March, I will be 100% healed from my back surgery!

The address to the ghost town is 36600 Ghost Town Road Yermo, CA 92398. To get to our camp, you'll go 100 yards past the Ghost Town. Doran Scenic Rd is on the left. I'll put up some blue marker tape. We're going to camp off Doran Scenic Rd before you go around the bend to the Gatekeeper. There's plenty of room for RVs. It's dry camping. No facilities, water etc. We'll run Doran, Odessa, can run Wall Street, and just go tool around.

If you want to come out Saturday, we'll leave camp for the trails around 10am.

You should have tow points; front and rear, sliders, armor, be lifted and at least 31's..33's are better. Lockers are not required, but helpful in a couple spots. If you don't have them, no biggie. Worse case is you get a strap/winch.

Look for my yellow happy face flag. I'm a white TJ. American Flag flying driver with a pink windshield banner that reads It's just a rock- I'll get over it.

CB- Ch 4. ( I don't get cell service once out in the canyon.)

PLEASE REMEMBER TO BRING SOME WOOD FOR CAMP

Anybody interested?

Sky?? Sky Who??? I vaguely remember somebody by the name of Skylar.. :tongue:

[SkylarM]

Yeah. I've been in the south east for a few months without much computer access. My Jeep's been sitting at Gary's place, and will need some work before getting back out on the trail, but I'll be back out with you guys soon I can't wait!

[daniel_buck]

You've got some catching up to do haha

[daniel_buck]

It's been a while since I've been to Calico, I forget how difficult the trails are. I remember a few of the obstacles, mostly shelf climbs and a few narrow uphill canyons. Think my Willys could be ok? It's super short 80" wheel base, narrow track width, 31" MT tires, and open differentials. And by time this run goes, I should have 2.5" of lift.

I seem to remember that we had a few stock vehicles make it through (a wrangler, and a Grand Cherokee) with a few tugs here and there, think I would be ok in the Willys? I would be a little concerned on some of the shelf/waterfall climbs with the short wheel base, but I've got D-rings front and rear. I'd love to get the willys out to some trails But I don't want to be slowing everyone down. I'll be taking it to Hungry valley in a few weeks, see how it does out there.
