do you have a trail mapped out? trying to figure out how long this is going to take so i can give the wifey a return timeframe.
Paul...the loose time frame is wrapping things up by 5pm.
Subject to change, but the template was to meet at Christmas Circle at 9...depart by 9:30 (pending any late arrivals, but unbreakables out so this shouldn't be an issue
) and head to the Calcite Mine trail head off of highway S22.
We will air everybody down at Christmas Circle, as the Calcite trail head is pretty limited in space.
Probably hit the CM Trail around 10ish.
Run Calcite Mine and get a flavor of everyone's trail aptitude for the day.
This trail should take us right up to lunch, which we can facilitate at the Arroyo Salado trail head. Restrooms there for the ladies and kid-o's.
Maybe noon to 1 o'clock-ish.
From there, possibly exploration of the Tectonic Gorge Trail south of Truckhaven, or if we are feeling very adventurous and capable, maybe track down the elusive fire plug monument.
Wrap up 4 to 5 to
This is the basic plan, subject to vehicle/participant capabilities and comfort levels.
A lot of the Truckhaven Hills trails are tight switchbacks, so wheelbase is also a strong consideration.
I know your CC Fronty might be challenged in a few spots.
Please remember all...shade is very limited on these trails. It will be warmer out there this weekend, borderline hot for some of you coasties.
Pack water, a hat, and sunscreen accordingly. There is gas and food in Borrego Springs.
Gas is open until 9pm.
Free air to air up at The Blue Hose. See GhostX for special SCCX tokens.
Hope this helps everyone a little in their planning.
