  • Trail Run: CALICO - MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND! May 24th to May 26th

    Hi

    Some of my friends missed out on the last one, so we're going to do it again. I did call Ranger Rick and got a 'GO" on Sky Ranch as well....

    All the same info applies as my last run...

    The road to camp is a dirt road..RV friendly.

    Date: Friday May 24th-26th
    Camp location: Top of the mountain

    It's Miller time!!!

    ***3 options on meeting places***

    Option 1-

    Friday- May 24th. Meet at the Flying J off Interstate 5 at 4:15pm. From there, I'll take us to camp.
    Address for the Flying J: 42810 Frazier Mountain Park Rd, I-5 Frazier Park Exit 205, Frazier Park, CA 93243


    Option 2-

    Friday- meet at the ranger station off Lockwood Valley Road.
    Address: 34580 Lockwood Valley Rd. Frazier Park, CA 93225
    From there, I'll take you to camp. ***Depending on how many people want this option, and we get a little closer, I'll decide on a time.***
    I'm thinking somewhere around 7-8pm.

    Option 3-

    Meet us at the trail head of Lockwood/Miller on Saturday morning at 1030am.

    Direction Details to Miller's trailhead:

    This trail is southwest of Fraizer Park, west of Hungry Valley. The Flying J is right off Interstate 5 North at Fraizer Park. Get gas there if you need it. From there, it's around 7 miles to Lake-of-the-Woods. Turn left on Lockood Valley Road. There's a little market there on the corner that makes the BEST sandwiches and potatoe salad I know Nothing about coords; but if you're meeting us at the trailhead Saturday, the GPS Waypoint Coordinates are:

    Latitude North: 34 44 07.3
    Longitude West: 119 02 16.4

    Run Details:

    Saturday

    Be at the trailhead by 1030am. After we are done running Lockwood and Miller, we will be at the top of Alamo Mountain. It takes around 40 minutes or so to come back down the mountain which puts us into Hungry Valley.

    Sunday

    It's Gorgeous where we're camped. Trails 118/119 are right there. We can always putt around the mountain..there's deer and other 4 legged friends out there We also have trails 111,112 and 113 up the road from us..

    Difficulty

    Miller is rated Black Diamond. I've brought many stock rigs through Miller with no problems. I do recommend you have sliders. There are a few rocky areas and steep switchbacks. There's also some flat trail riding.

    PLEASE POST WHEN YOU PLAN ON COMING AND WHICH OPTION YOU PLAN ON USING TO MEET ME. If you're planning on option #2 at the Ranger station Friday evening, post a good time for you. Based on the feedback from that, we'll decide on a time.

    Who's in so far:

    1. Lorie- I H8RDS- Fri at 415pm Flying J
    2. Bernie and Vanessa- Werubiblue06-See you up there Friday eve!
    3. Brett-YJKalamity- Friday eve

        Never been up that way at all. Got your PM. I'll call you closer to the actual date. I've got some work to do on the rig this weekend and next . It's been too long. I've been gone about 8 months, and haven't been wheeling in close to 10. Stoked to hang with you, Bernie and Vanessa!

          CHANGE OF PLANS DUE TO THE FIRE AND MESS IT'S GOING TO CREATE!

          Looks like we're going to CALICO instead !

          Date: Memorial Day Weekend
          Friday May 24th-26th


          **DIRECTIONS AND INFO:**

          The address to the ghost town is 36600 Ghost Town Road Yermo, CA 92398.

          TO GET TO OUR CAMP: Go 100 yards past the Ghost Town. Doran Scenic Rd is on the left. You’ll see the triangular looking ranger sign encased in glass. Make that left and keep going straight down the dirt road. You'll run right into us. 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 and tents. It's dry camping. No facilities, water etc. We'll run all the major trails!

          If you want to come out Saturday, please be at camp by 930am.

          **YOUR RIG 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 sticking out of the rocks in front of my camp. My rig is a white TJ, pink windshield banner, American Flag Painted Diff Covers and American Flag flying driver.

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

          Open to anyone who wants to join in.

          Who's going:

          1. Lorie- I H8RDS- I'll get there around 630pm ish Friday
          2. Bernie and Vanessa- Werubiblue06-
          3. Brett-YJKalamity-
          4. Joey-JeepJoe22-

                Lorie,

                I suggest that you close out this thread and start a new one with "Calico" in the title. I can't join you because I'll be at High Desert Roundup in Johnson Valley.

                  Hey Russ,

                  Maybe a mod can just change the title. I dont think anyone here is that interested in doing Calico anyways..it'll be high 80's - low 90's.

                  Have a good time at HDR!
