Oct 18-20: Anza Borrego Trip

lmao.. shhhhh!!!

Don't get me in trouble. ahaha

In front of my friends I am the boss. In reality I am just a servant.

 

This is where we camped last year (The Cove, near Ocotillo Wells OHV park).

 

We all are dude.

 

sub'd

 

The following Wednesday we are off to Virgin Utah for a week adventure out there but let me see if i can work up some extra gas money to get out to Anza this weekend.​

 

I’m just messing I’m in the same boat my friend haha

Was up bro

 

I'm tentative. Not lifted yet. Does that matter?

 

I was thinking of planning a trip the weekend before for Columbus Day. We'll see how it pans out. Damn, Anza is really far.

 

Nope. You’ll be fine. If you’re a little worried, you can avoid feeling pressure or performance anxiety by joining Sam’s group. Both will likely do many of the same routes, but you’ll not have to worry about slowing down the others you’re with, while you test your skills and your truck. Plus it sounds like we’ll have some meet-ups so we’ll all get to hang out. Commit!

 

Wish we could, the little one barely handled a 4 hour drive this weekend, a 26 hour drive would not be doable

 

Let's pray that I get promoted before then... Then I can afford the fancy shocks, and I will go. I'll keep u posted! Sounds like a good time.

Question... How's the bug situation camping out there. I just came back from the river and got like 30bites WITH OFF BUG SPRAY LATHERED ON ME!

 

It’ll be good to see you guys again. Maybe Sedona will be a good meet place in the not too distant future....

 

I'm curious about the big situation too lol.

 

No bug problem (no water to attract ‘em). Also, wind can come up at night, so that deters bugs as well— and your camp mates will appreciate you securing the tethers of your rain fly if you use one.

You also won’t need to replace your shocks for the easy portion of our upcoming Big Bear Run in August (it’s not the rough part you did with us last time @Fiestee23) or for this one in October. As long as you’re not blasting through whoops at speed, you can enjoy the heck out of everything Sam described they’re thinking of doing. (I’m hoping Kris plans to lead us blasting through whoops! )

 

Only thing holding me up is checking with the event planner, it is her birthday weekend... .....shhhoooot. I just realised that lol so I'll verify everything first.

 

Yeah, I’m in a mess at home too; this is my anniversary weekend. And the second year in a row I’m hoping to make the trip.

I hope one year it’ll get modified to a week earlier or later, but that’s the thing with these trips; anyone willing to lead gets to set the dates!

 

We are looking at planning a trip in spring time for the nicu reunion.

 

That will be awesome for so many reasons! If you let us know in advance, and if you want to do it, we can put together a dirt run in honor of your presence.

 

Oh yes! As soon as I have dates I will let the SoCal crew know

 

“Honey, this year for your burfday, I’m taking you on a surprise trip!”

 

I told her, she was like... Let Go!!!!! then she said, oh, your mom and Brother are coming for the week. lol So Might make it out early Saturday for a Day in the Dirt... and talk my Little bro into camping the night and heading back in the morning... lol I'll sell it as, he needs to get away too! lol

 

Hello...……………………. Is it me you're looking for...…………………………….

Not sure if I'm free that weekend but if so I'm in. Is there any paved trail runs? I don't want to get my truck dirty...………………………………….

 

Haha! If you lead, you can avoid the dust cloud. Go ahead and set up a run. I’ll back you up!

 

@Sunnier I’ll stick to dirt. Is our leader Marty McBugjoon attending? Also, where are we camping?

 

Dirt is awesome!

I don’t know yet about @Marty McBugJoon. I’m hoping he can make this weekend in October work to join us. If not, maybe we’ll get him to plan another easy Shenanigans run of the stand-around-and-take-photos-with-our-trucks kind, to get anyone that’s lurkin’ and hasn’t come out yet to DO IT!

But anyway, I hope you’re planning to join us on this one!!
