Any spaces available at Calico?

It's possible. The main area that I'm at is full.

We're at the diner ordering, most parked on the east side.

how was day 1?

how was day 1?

Almost 10 hours of driving, 3 flat tires in the group, someone got even more closer to rolling than you did, I smashed by rear bumper into a dirt mound(totally me fault) cracked my front windshield on a flying rock. All in all one of the best Saturday's I've had in a while. Lots of stories to tell, pictures to be seen and videos to be watched. More to come

Maybe 25 minutes in from airing down we realized we were a group of 8 out of 17

After regrouping we headed onwards into the hills

Then we encountered some troubles. In the same 100 yards of trail, 3 people got flats all on the passenger rear.

After some pit maneuvers I hear some crackles on the radio, "Who's the guy on 3 wheels??" "Someones about to roll!"

Then we ended back in Mule Canyon driving down. There was some confusion on which was the correct path to take, so I was leading at one point, driving like an ass. Andrew was following me. As I went up the road that I used as a small jump my tire chucked a boulder into the air which landed on Andrew's windshield.

Should be done by 3-4pm depending amount of rigs going, how much site seeing with the mines and tunnels, taking photos and then how lost I can possibly get everyone. Haha

It took us 5hrs when we pre ran it two weeks ago but that was just two of us.

You got us pretty lost but enjoyed every minute of it!!

Thanks [MENTION=60694]TheSentinel[/MENTION] for setting this up and [MENTION=117408]Oneluv13T4R[/MENTION] for leading us, great day out on the dirt. Can't wait for next months run!!

My role was minimal, that was all Miah. He was the driving force behind this adventure. Thanks to everyone for their patience and enthusiasm, you guys make these meets great.

I'm going to be going back to full-time grad school in early June, so I'm not going to have much time to organize or lead meets. Between Miah, Andrew, and the rest of the regular crew, things need to keep going. I don't want to post a June meet thread because I doubt that I'll be able to update it. Please keep the momentum going!

I won't be a stranger for long. This degree should be done by sometime next year. I'm going to try to jump in on a meet when possible.

Finally home, clean, and ready for bed. The last two days have been one epic adventure. Thanks Miah [MENTION=117408]Oneluv13T4R[/MENTION] for tooling around today and hope you didn't get in too much trouble with the lady! I've got a metric fck ton of video and pictures to go through, but that will be at some point later. Great meeting everyone, it's always a great time with the T4R crew.

Haven't had time to take a look at the video yet, if I get done with damage control by tomorrow I'll start editing. I have a feeling there will be some good footage.
