Thanksgiving Weekend Calico Run

[FJ Crawlin']

Greetings from the Land Cruiser community. We come and peace (Buzz Lightyear) and offer a fun filled weekend in Calico with some exploring and trailing for the beginner or sick at heart. Alot of fun trails. If you have a capable stock or modified 4wd and a sense of humor with a friendly attitude, come on out and enjoy your leftovers in the clean crisp desert of Calico!

The plan is to meet at Peggy Sue's for breakfast Saturday morning by 9am. A few of us cruising up at a turtles pace plan on meeting up at I-15 and Bear Valley Road around 6:30 to caravan. We're going to be camping in and around Mule Canyon and monitoring channel 4.

How tough can it be to get a hall pass to get away for the holiday weekend? Any takers for such an invite?

I think i might sign up and maybe even camp there for the weekend will let you know next week. That is my kids favorite spot, they love the caves

Stuart, It would be nice to see you guys again. Hope you and the family can make it out. I wander if Mule Canyon is motorhome friendly. Kevin will likely bring his house on wheels. Anyone know for sure?

Hmmm, sounds tempting. I wont know till a day or two before hand though

[blackZZR]

we are setting something up for that saturday
will keep everyone informed

We camp at Calico Ghost town there are sites with water and power and only 5 minutes from Odessa. It is usually pretty empty there and i think it's 22.00 per night with hook ups. If people want to camp there we should try to camp together.

That's good to know Stuart. Mule Canyon is motorhome friendly but dry camping only with no hook up's.

Very interested... have to check on some things first...I've been wanting to check out Lower Bismark Cayon and the other fun stuff out there!

Is everyone that is camping in mule canyon in tents or are the generators going to be in full effect? Wife and I are tent campers....otherwise we'll sleep in a cave

[FJ Crawlin']

likewise, I'll be tenting it. I'm fairly certain that there will be those with generators, but not sure how noisy it will be. Hope you can make it!

let me know if we are going to camp in the campground, or if you want to camp in the canyon. Either is good for me. Evidently there is going to be an event called Heritage Fest that weekend at Calico. So it may be busy. Calico is always a fun place. Be nice to all camp togethter, Kevin Putnam

[Jeep Virgin]

I think we will book at the campground monday, we really like having water and power when camping with young ones. Will post the site we get, if any body wants to camp nearby. I am bringing my wife and two boys 7 and 4, they love exploring the tunnels.
