I'll be there at 8:00, leaving at 8:15: that should give us ample time to head down there.
Aside, there's a Mobil right off of the I15 on Temecula Parkway if anyone needs to top off.
Haha!

You guys should hit the left turn (coming from your direction) from Hwy 79 on to S-2 at about the same time I roll past there. I'll turn on my FRS when I get close to that intersection.  Don't forget to turn left on Montezuma Road (S-22) 5 miles later, as that is the most direct route to the Visitor Center.

Hey Frank, What time are you planning on getting to the trailhead?

Hey Frank, What time are you planning on getting to the trailhead?

Jake, I would like to say that we will be there by 11:00AM, but if the group is as big as it's starting to look, it may well be a bit later. It's easily a half-hour drive from the Visitor Center, and herding everyone out of there by 10:30AM could be tough. Realistically, we'll get there probably be closer to 11:30AM or so.  I would make the Visitor Center meet time earlier, but it is a long drive for many.

Send me your cell number, there is usually reception at the trail head and most of the roadways out there, we can talk in case we'll be late or there is a change of plans. My number is in the first post.

Where are you planning to camp on Friday?

[XterraDude]

I will most likely be camping near the slot Friday night depending on what the weather looks like. My number is 9 four 9 3  7 zero 1 three zero 2. Ill most likely just be playing in Ocotillo Wells waiting for you guys.

Frank, do you have an approximate estimate of how many trucks plan to go?  If you don't, I could spend my next sleepless night counting trucks 20?

[Kyle J. Thompson]

Looks like i am going, Alex gunna Caravan with you if you dont mind.

I may have company possibly 2-3plus me....i will chip in on pies and plan on camping afterwards.

Thanks so much frank for setting this up

If everyone who has said yes so far shows up, it looks to be about 20 trucks / 40 people.   It should make for quite a long lineup for a group picture.  I think the last time we this big of a group was Bradshaw Trail a couple of years ago, when I counted 21.  I think we had 14 Xterras and 2 Frontiers on this run 2 years ago.  Last year was about 12 or so.

Sure thing Kyle!

Frank, I'll monitor the FRS channel as well as we get closer.

Frank, in case of rains, is there any chance of the water in the Fish Creek Wash? just wandering...

[NateDawgG]

This sounds like a good time. I'm trying to get my wife interested, so hopefully you'll have a couple noob (to this forum) folks down from Reseda.

Yes, there is always a chance of water.

Sounds like a good group and a good time.  Unfortunately I won't be able to make it this year (I'm on call this weekend for work), but I'll definitely keep this in mind for next year. 

[NateDawgG]

So this is a yearly run? Does this club do monthly runs as well?
