Yes and hitting the road about 10:15/10:30

My cell phone number is nine five one 840 and 8611 if anyone needs to call. I'll be monitoring amateur radio two meters 146.52 MHz and FRS channel 9.

Sunday afternoon's runs depend on who there as there are moderate and easy trails in the Lockwood area. I'd like to do one of the mountain loops at least - should be a short day on Sunday. This shouldn't be that difficult overall. Saturday afternoon we'll have fun in the 4x4 playground at Hungry Valley where there are places to test out your meddle. There's a nice 250 foot long "black diamond" rock garden to try out if you want and a concrete hill with various levels of difficulty. Ought to make for some fun and good pictures.

I plan on us camping at the campground with the toilets and water. I'll have our new propane camp stove and some meat on a stick to add to the pot luck. Likely to be restrictions on charcoal and ground fires since the fire danger is so high.

i will be monitoring CB channel 21 if anyone has a CB. My cell number is seven six five 426 then 5284. sounds like a good time. i've got what i think is a fan issue that im hoping someone can take a look at with me. it's just loud

Has miller and lock wood been taken off the plan? Was looking forward to that one again. I promise I'll be good and not get heat stroke this time!!!

are we doing a pot luck dinner saturday night? if so, what do you want me to bring? also, is beer allowed?

[AV Xterra]

Paul,  Will you be using the SVRA entrance off of Peace Valley Road?  That would be my preferred meet spot, 45min from my house.

We're bringing some steaks and fixings... I'll bring a few extras!
A few beers just might find their way into the cooler but I can't make any guarantees. :-)

Of course beer is allowed, just not on the trail, and not in excess while with the club.
