Redondo Caravn.
Feel free to call me @ 562.857.8643 if you plan on meeting me there so I know how many fellas to wait for. If you get my VM, leave me a message and I will call you back as soon as I can. Freeway is right there as well. Address is

Ralphs
5760 East 7th Street, Long Beach, CA 90803I will be there at 7:00 and will leaving at 7:20 and no later. We will be running the GPS all the way up so hoping that it will be a more direct faster route.

Thanks to Bryan for starting this thread.
 
One more coming from San Diego. Jsmithjr732 aka John.

Bryan--can you add the meetup time for those going straight to the starting point?
 
If anyone south of or near Mission Viejo, CA wants to meet up, too, I'd be down to start a caravan.

There's a great spot at my local Target, directly next to the 5 freeway at the Alicia Parkway exit.

If anyones interested, please chime in or send me a PM.
 
I forgot to ask in the other thread, but will there be any extra compressors to re-inflate the tires at the end of the trail? Or will we be ok with street-psi on the trail?
 
Please add me to the list. Will be coming from 562 but probably won't be with the caravan from Long Beach as I may be picking up a couple buddies in Corona. BTW, I have a 4th gen and will be on CH.13 on the CB.
 
ill probably come out for this and be meeting at the rosemead starbucks caravan. itll be the first time me or the runner has ever been off pavement so bare with me! btw thanks again for the tails bryan!

Clarks Grade is a Green Circle rated trail that is sometimes upgraded to Blue Square for weather damage. Most of the vehicles look to be close to stock which is another reason to have the easy trail. Those of us looking for more of a challenge can do John Bull or Gold Mountain afterwards. Once we are at the Ranger station if there is a large consensus to split then we can. I know the prefered group size on any trail is 6-10 vehicles.

I am willing to do a more challenging trail but am not sure how ready my 4R is. What do you think? 4th gen SE 4wd with 265 70 Goodyear SA and CF 2/1 spacer. Also have spidertrax but that shouldn't matter. I did do some of the mod portions of the Cleghorn trail in the past when my tires had more tread.

COB--I'm in SD and can meet you in Mission Viejo. Let's setup a meeting spot and add to the initial post.

Cool. Here's the address to the Target.

24500 Alicia Pkwy, Mission Viejo, CA 92691

I was thinking we leave by 7:15 or so. It's about the same distance from here as the Long Beach caravan (1.1 mile difference)

My route being 5N -> 55N -> 91E/215N -> 10E -> 38

That is if I get someone to come along, I really don't want to go by myself.

Oh, no... That wasn't what I was implying, rock crawling isn't really my thing. Clarks Grade is a nice mellow trail. I have run it dozens of times on my way up to Big Bear instead of the long windy road. I am not concerned with the trails being too easy, I am just wondering about the sheer magnitude of having so many trucks on it. Sucks for anyone coming from the opposite direction.
