SoCal Shenanigans: Crab Flats Campout II

oh ok, got it. yeah that hill is steep

@Jackjack tried it back in june


the alternative is where @fisherman951 Tony probably got his stripes (notice the just-wide-enough-for-jeeps trail) where i got mine

 

why aren't you rolling with us this weekend?

 

I remember that section well. Yeah, lots of pin-stripes!!

 

Yup that is. Also yes that narrow spot was i am 100% sure where Tony got them. I almost wish i went up the steeper part

 

Good good

 

because its labor day, the last big summer weekend for the river, so my pontoon boat and river house are calling my name.. plus i have a bunch of shit to do to my truck

 

Yup, that’s the place!

Hi, @Fiestee23, I see you checkin’ in. Um... yeah. The “easy” portion of this run was more than was promised. I guess you’re probably never comin’ back out with us now, huh?

And my good friend, @Marty McFly, it’s probably for the best if you not read this thread. Anyway, no pictures. We made it all up. Best parking lot meet-up ever!

 

Just by looking at the pictures I can hear the pinstripes lol

 

I woulda done that section also to avoid pinstripes. It looks way easy

 

A steep uphill is always easier than the dagger stabbing your heart on your first stripes.

 

I don’t recommend you going to Corral Canyon

Volume up

@Sunnier you thinking about leading this trail for San G? Take some more Tundras up 3 wheel hill?

 

I really don't want to wash my truck.......just so I can say it's only lines of dust

 

I’m ahead of ya, we figuring out some trails, this could be one if there is enough interest, so is Gold Mountain and looking for more leisure routes.

 

We can add to it at SanG!

 

It's for sure just dust lines

Niiiiice!
(Going to reply more to this in the San G thread, I feel bad clogging up this thread too much lol)

 

I’ll get you and @Sunnier and probably @BestGen in a PM so we can get routes dialed in. Sunny’s busy so next week!

 

Sounds good!

 

Haha! Mike, thanks for trying to save this thread by posting video— of Anyplace! You ROCK!!

Well. I don’t mind leading IF I can find a good rescue rig partner. I was very impressed with @TacoPharm and @JDL17CM4x4 and would lead up something difficult if either are up for being my co-leader. But... how awkward... I failed to discuss it with either of them.

I need to go check the San G thread; I’m assuming Phil is already signed up for San G....

As for what trail I’d do, I’m hoping for trip reports from the BAsTRD’s after they run Gold Mountain— I’d always rather run something I haven’t yet than something I just did. San G is a loooong way to go for one day of trail-running so I’m hoping to do something to challenge the Hulk. Working on figuring out what.

For reals, I’m not eager to lead stock trucks or mid-travel with new drivers up 3 wheel hill... unless someone with a winch and rescue-commitment runs up first, because I anticipate we’d be pulling a few up. Any takers?!!

 

@Pinay is interested in co-leading White Mountain I think. Which would be great!

But either GM or WM really. I’ll have my bumpers with winch this week. I will get @Porschetech29 in on the PM too, i know he wants GM.

 

One last question; Is there anTW thread for trail sign ups? I could I go look at that to start for ideas...

 

Not entirely, there's the main San G thread but most of the trail runs have been coordinated via PM among friends. I've got a group of 8 already for Gold, the prior trail I was going to run the moment it was publicized went from 6-10 rigs.
It's the blessing and curse of having a lot of friends on the forums. I'm glad I'm along for the ride this year! I may take point for my buddy since I have a winch, but I didn't have to do any coordination lol.

 

I was going to ask, is this something I should be attempting with a baby in the back it’s probably a good thing I stayed back

 

Thanks, you inspired confidence, but I am still a novice

I don't have a campsite, but I would be down for a day trip

 

This would have been fine for a baby in the back. Even YOUR baby! <3

 

I think there's a few people selling their sites on TW as well as a group site for sale and several people looking for sites.

 

Well. Fine for your human puppy baby— maybe you’d not have been happy about taking your Tundra baby through those pinstripes @Big Tony found.

 

Did @Jackjack make it up? I’ve heard off-line that the trick for this obstacle is to keep the driver’s tires on the rocks far left. I wish I’d known that Saturday.

But maybe it’s good I didn’t know... since it worked; just powered through.
