June 2016 Meet and Run

[SoSoRunner]

Well looks like I'm going to change my vote to the 26th. Just remembered I have a wipeout run on the 25th that I paid for a while back. But I will meetup Sunday for those that are camping.

Oh man, this looks awesome but just my luck I'll be fishing up at mammoth. I look forward to other offroading meetups. Will there be another this summer?

 

[Oneluv13T4R]

Does anyone have a suggestion as to where to camp the night before the run? I'm not familiar with the area would love a bit of guidance.
You can actually camp anywhere on the entire property of pappy and Harriets in PioneerTown there property is many acres and has all the old western movie props and old western town still there, if you don't wanna be to far from starting point. Or camp at Black Rock Camp in Joshua Tree really nice spot many videos on it and references. it's about a 20-30 min drive to starting point Or camp in pipes canyon in pioneer town or in Johnson valley right down the road these places you just pick it and kick it wherever.

Nope this will be the last one.

Nope this will be the last one.

The last one except for the one in July, and the one in August, and probably one in September....

Haha...it's like have you seen or atleast read any of the posts and thread titles?
If not then you get Miah's I don't have time for "not stupid" but stupid question, short dicky answer and response.
But funny for you guys that know the real answer. Lol

 

[jimster716]

Actually first time I've seen the regional clubs forums below all the sponsor forums. But good to dickish answers are what await. Sorry I asked.

That's HELLA FUNNY! I almost fell off the couch laughing! Classic Miah and Danny reply! As Miah would say, "Genius"!

Another useful map I stumbled upon that shows the difficulty ratings of all the trails. Looks like a few options to run blue and black trails on the way up burns canyon for everyone interested.

Well this looks fun, sorry I've been MIA for a bit. Haven't had much time to plan anything.

let's skip the frs radio thing. I don't think anyone was using just an frs radio last run. Everyone was using cb or ham. We need to consolidate our communication since that seems to be a big issue in the past, but worked well last run after everyone switched their radios to 146.460 ham frequency. Those little baofeng radios are almost cheaper than the actual 2 way frs radios you can buy at the store, so they are more than worth it.

I'll program the routes into my gps if you need me to run a team through, but i think with only a few hard sections that may need spotting we should be fine with a larger group. We need to to spread out people with good comunication and recovery gear throughout the group. Also a tail gunner with with a gps of the route and a good radio. Anyone who has recovery straps and knows how to use them (some of us got a lot of practice last run)please speak up so everyone knows. Anyone who has recovery straps and doesn't know how to use them please come see me at the meeting location for a brief rundown on safety.

This is going to be much higher elevation so everyone bring extra water. You will dehydrate faster at higher elevations. Especially those who are running up and down hills to help people or take photos.

Don't take it seriously, we're all here to have fun. Sad thing is that the regional forums are so far down that most of the forum aren't aware of them. I've actually pointed them out to people before and they were like wtf? Just keep an eye on the section, [MENTION=117408]Oneluv13T4R[/MENTION] been doing a hell of a job trying to keep the meets on point while [MENTION=60694]TheSentinel[/MENTION] is doing the school thing. If it wasn't for this section and the people in them I never would have ventured out nearly as much as I have in the last 8 months. Nothing but a great group of people here.

No worries. I'll be on the lookout for July and August meets. Thanks!

Once you meet me you'll understand, it's all in fun. I haven't left anyone out that's on here from a dickish comment.
And by the way Welcome to the SoCal board, hope you can make it out to the next meet and run in July,August,September etc etc. Do you see a pattern yet? We run every month no matter season or weather and have one hell of a time doing it. Good for family and children always.
And if you don't have one already do yourself a favor and pick up a radio for comms on the trail it helps all of us. A cheap Baofeng handheld is 30 bucks or there best one is 60 bucks. Amazon or eBay

Hope to see you on the trails soon

There you are, well atleast when you do chime in ...its solid. Perfectly said good call.
I put you on as a leader regardless cause some form or another you end up as a key part lead,middle,Clean up or on recovery detail. LOL
And also [MENTION=77357]85straight[/MENTION] is thinking of adding some more of the moderate trails and less of the green to keep people's interest while on the trail. So your definitely playing a role, brotha cause it's gonna be more than just a couple spots.
Completely agree with comms ...everyone needs to just buy a cheap Baofeng so we're all on the same page and makes us that much better as group and keeps all of us informed on the trail and immediately aware of any issues and nobody can get lost if you can see and "hear" what's going on. Also allows for more trail time fun time instead of dead time with lost people. 30 bucks and usually show up in 5 days gives you plenty of time to get one for the better of all of us

Thanks for the info! I've been running a Midland CB but it seems 2-way radio is preferred? I'll look into the Baofeng radios. I look forward to bringing the family along when my 6mo old boy is a bit older.

 

[TK-422]

Wow! demoted to the bottom of the list. :couch2:

Haha. JK. Talked to the wife tonight and she is good if we go to Big Bear on the 24th and stay in a hotel so she can do some shopping/site seeing first.

 

[85straight]

Some offshoots along the way we can check out, sorry for the 3rd grade quality doodle outlines haha

And some links to the offshoots, they all look pretty fun.
Tip top mountain (2N90) looks like the easiest of the 3

I'm not sure how different if is on our rigs but I've done some recovery from a firetruck multiple times if needed I'm pretty comfortable helping others. I only have a tow strap tho.

I won't vote on the date since I'm trying to plan around my daughter's birthday party and likely won't make it. I was just hoping for my first T4R run since getting mine two months ago. I'm a probably not for this run but I'll keep following the thread just in case.

Yeah, don't take it seriously. I'm still new and I've gotten called "Genius" by Miah. You just got to make sure you have some great comebacks. It's going to be like this the whole time. LOL!
