Can't this Tuesday, I'll be working. I like your new 4runner. I want one now but cant afford it :(
 
Vlad, were you in NLV yesterday? I think I saw you on MLK last night. I have the silver sr5 and was behind you.
 
Vegas 4Runner meet & greet / photo shoot / wheeling

Hey Vegas Runners!

I haven't been on a ride yet with the Vegas crew and would like to meet up with you all. I'd love to do a big photoshoot with all the trucks together with a couple different setups. Then we could all hit the trails afterwards? How many of you would be game? Please PM with your thoughts on it and list your top 2 locations you think would work best. Then I'll post the list and we can see where we are on picking the best one. Ideally, it'd be a great backdrop to shoot AND nearby some trails so we wouldn't have to hit 2 distant locations. Obviously a trail that everyone could tackle would be good as all the trucks are not built out the same.

As far as the date... How's Saturday 11/15 or 11/22? Probably an early/mid morning start...

Everyone who attends would get copies of the main high resolution photos that you're in and hopefully more.... like trail shots if possible. Photos would easily print beautiful posters if you felt like doing something like that!

Let me know if you'd like to do it. Thanks...

Hey chiz45, that was me. I live behind Seastrand park. You were in the silver colored SR5 with dark tint right? It was around 5:30 last Saturday night?

Back on topic, I'm free on the 22nd.

Sounds great! I have to work 11-15, but could go on the 22nd.
 
I'm free on either dates. Anyone heard of the caves on the west side of Las Vegas? Should be a good spot for pics and trail. I've never been there but only heard of it.

Either date is good with me. I work graves so, I would be getting off at 7AM! So, if we could meet up a little after that or an hour or so I'm 110% in!

The Caves here on the Westside were pretty good, but they started fencing in all, but that's ok nothing a couple bolt cutter couldn't solve.

Okay, so it looks like we'll do this on Saturday 11/22!

I've never done the SW caves. Seen it from 215 though. Looks cool. Can we get there? What's up w/ the fences?

Any other good spots? Valley of Fire would be awesome, but sometimes the Rangers give you a hard time when shooting there, unless real discreet.

What about APEX? Lots of hills & trails, dunes there too.

Logandale?

RedRock?

Dry Lake Beds down near Nelson ghost town?

Please chime in on Locales that work for shooting/riding.

This will be great!

Here's the running list of attendees:

TRDPRORUNNER
Indigo
VegasIsland
Howard35
Sullivanaz
ComradeVlad
808g19
SLWRNR
chiz45 - TBD

Any one else? I don't know the names yet, so if I'm missing anyone who's interested, please let me know so I can take a head count.

Thanks....

Northern section of Lake Mead NRA, there are several trails that run off of Northshore Rd. (Nevada 167).

If we got enough interest we could even try and reserve a group picnic area, the Redstone Dune (or Callville Bay) have group picnic sites are near several trails. We could use either spot just have as a meet up place before or afterwards or we could grill up some burgers when we are done running a trail or two (as suggested by [MENTION=69312]808g19[/MENTION]).

Here is a brief summary of the trails running from there-

1. Anniversary Mine Trail (NPS 94A); 5.8 miles, 1 hour, difficulty rating 4. I have tried this one before and ended up not finding my way through, either the road dead ends now or I made a wrong turn somewhere, but its mainly a gravelly wash... definitely can be run stock 4wd.

2. Callville Wash Trail (NPS 94); 5.8 miles (each way), 45 min (each way) difficulty rating 3. I have ran this one also, it is similar to Anniversary Mile just not as much deep gravel, could probably even run this one in 2wd. Might get some pinstripes though.

3. Boathouse Cove Road (NPS 97); 9.2 miles (each way), 1 hour (each way), difficulty 4. Have not run this trail. Book says mostly graded gravel road with two sections of rocky eroded washes that make high-clearance and 4wd a necessity. Runs out to the shoreline of Lake Mead.

4. Bitter Springs Backcountry Byway; 26.6 miles plus 3.4 mile spur, 4 hours, difficulty 4. This is the trail [MENTION=106215]chiz45[/MENTION] previously suggested. Its a long scenic trail that we could run in reverse (from Lake Mead area) and end off at the I-15 north of Las Vegas.

5. Rainbow Gardens and Lava Butte Loop; 16.7 miles, 45 minutes, difficulty 3. I have ran this trail, it can definitely be run stock. Starts just before the North entrance to Lake Mead NRA. I heard this got washed out a month or two ago so we would have to check to see if it has been repaired first.

I'd be in for a 11/22 meet up.
[MENTION=112774]TRDPRORUNNER[/MENTION] we had talked about meeting up at one of the picnic areas in Lake Mead NRA a few weeks ago (see post above). Would be great to meet up and introduce ourselves and then do one of the trails above (covers all levels). We were thinking of running #3 Boathouse Cove, but #4 Bitter Springs Byway would be great for pictures (runs just south of Valley of Fire) if folks were willing to set aside a half day or so.
