Whats up guys, new to the forum so Im going to try and make it out to this. I have a pregger wife so shes a huge damper hahaha.

Go ahead and throw me under pending and I hope to see you guys out there.

Added.  You know, depending on how far along your wife is...bouncing around in an Xterra is a great way to induce labor...and you are a corpsman!

Good one Max...yeah, I need to see where things will be with my TS before I commit to another run.

I could be a last minute joiner.

You in John?

[shi819]

I am still coming on Sat, but I have to bail early to go to a bridal shower. Bleh.

You are added.  When you get a chance post up some pics and your build specs over in Display Case.

Isn't Azusa pretty much just a mud-pit?  Might be easier to clean up without skids.

Yes but they also built an off road rock crawler course there.  It just opened a few weeks ago that is where we are going to focus our efforts.

This is true Frank...didn't think of that.  I am working with a busy 7th grader etc. as well.  If I make it this will be more of a "social drive by."

When we did this years ago xtoolbox (brian) got the key for an access gate from the ranger station. The gate is adjacent to the offroad park and allowed us access to a fireroad w some beautiful views. Just a thought...if anybody is still in contact w brian im sure he has better details.

Hey guys, they pushed my training up a few days so I will be leaving for 29 palms on the 26th. Which means I wont be able to stay out very long on Sat. Im still going to try and at least make an appearance, meet some people and maybe learn a few things. Which is what I had planned anyway since my X isnt really ready to be climbing rocks .

I think you are talking about the locked gate just up the road from the off road park.  If you are that is the Rincon Shortcut a 26 mile long road from the 39 to the 2 hwy.  It's and awesome mostly 2wd road but has been closed for several years now.  I lead a geocaching group of 20 truck and 30 something up there to find a ton of geocaches I placed up there.  Soon after they closed the road so SoCal Edison then the Station Fire went through the last half then more Edison work then they found Native American artifacts which stopped work then most recently there is a crew going through there installing power lines from the wind turbines in Tehachapi to LA.  One of the workers is a cacher and has been checking on my caches. 

Once the road opens back up I'd like to do a group run up there ending at Newcombs Ranch up the 2.  Nice lunch spot and a fun day.

Okay everyone, OP updated.

The new meet place is the Costco parking lot located at:

  Costco Warehouse
1220 West Foothill Boulevard, Irwindale, CA 

Please gas up before arriving if you need to, although this probably isn't as crucial as on other runs as there probably won't be long trail driving involved.
