sounds good. i have a job interview today, so im hoping i get the job but that it doesnt ruin my plans for this trip! we'll see how it goes.

i'll bring some side dishes for dinner saturday and a case of coors light to share.

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

Yes, we'll use the northern entrance by Gorman.

[Paul]

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

What do you want to cook? We never seem to be short on food as everyone brings enough for themselves and then more ... chips/salsa, cake, pies ...

Like was said - beer is welcomed but no drinking on the trail and in moderation following.

Have a good time everyone!

I'm looking out my front window, to the West, and watching a rising column of smoke.  Keep hearing the fire truck drive by.  Hope it's not far away enough to be Los Padres NF.

sooo. my interview went really well today. so well in fact that i start tomorrow. i work from 7-10 am. I was wondering if you guys might be playing in the 4x4 area and then eat lunch because i can be there by noon. if not, is there a way to meet up with you all on the trail? let me know either way.

[Paul]

We're going to run from Gorman's main Hungry Valley entrance along the Powerline Road west to east until we hit the Pronghorn Trail and then take that from north to south until we hit Hungry Valley road. We're take that east to west until we reach the 4WD practice area sometime in the afternoon.

We're going out the Gorman exit along the 5 to Chuchupate south and west of Lake of the Woods. Depending on the time of day and the trucks camping overnight we might run up over the Alamo Mountain and out to Lockwood Flat and then north east back to the Hungry Valley area and then out.

I wouldn't be surprised if we're in cell phone service all Saturday - give me a call when you get close.

I am hoping the main meet spot hasnt changed as this is where I plan to meet. I am in for a day trip at the moment but might camp not sure.

. . . .  I promise I'll be good and not get heat stroke this time!!!

Wasn't there something about tires too?   

Just kidding Chris.  I'm sorry I won't be able to make this one, it would be good to see you and Em, it's been a while. It would be good to see everyone else too. 

Have a great time out there.

I thought there would be more people coming what with the tall cute single friend of LilBikerGirl being there.

[SCsilverX]

We'll likely hit the trails at Hungry Valley about 11:00 (40 minute drive from Stevenson Ranch/Newhall) so within that hour and a half we ought to be running down the Power Line road to the South East nearing lunch time.
