    With @Marty McFly's publicity team + a public forum, we've realized we should keep the invitation open for the easy wheeling BUT, experience has taught us, there'll be too many to organize camping together.

    For this event, anyone that wants to stay overnight and camp, that sounds super fun!! You can start checking out sites and see if you can connect with others who want to stay, for small party groups.

    I've got to work Sunday night, so I'll miss out on camping this time.

    Haha! You gotta read it to know, homie!

    Basically, I saw on another thread that Tony @fisherman951 got a new ice-y beverage maker, so that led to him agreeing to bring it so we can make margaritas. He said it requires an inverter, and Mike @eccracer104 has one in his Taco so that was all good. But if it's not, no problem because Steve @nishibot is gonna pull an inverter along behind us (housed in a trailer the length of a soccer pitch).

    When we started talking about using Mike's taco to make margaritas :drunk:, Tony got excited and suggested a taco cart:taco: :hungry:. But then, after we all agreed this was a great idea and everyone got excited and the New Guy @sdde4n put in his food order, Tony bailed on us :(. Some drivel about kids (more immature than we are) that depend on him.... noise... hunger... disappointment... loss-- I can't remember what else he said. :rolleyes:

    I think @SocaliTundra958 is coming!!
    And Ian @porkitt, sounds like he's in, and wants to camp, but would like to stay where you and the Entourage stay. :ohsnap:

    @joonbug mistook a slab of pork belly for fresh meat and tried to derail us with his love of bacon.:smack:

    Daniel @JDL17CM4x4 stepped in for a casual hello (which I took to mean he's definitely coming, and bringing at least 4 truck loads of friends).
    :mudding::mudding::mudding::mudding::mudding:

    I haven't heard commitments from @Porschetech29 ,@Grendel , or @Gibzki but-- really!-- how could they stay away?? :wave:

    Oh, and @BestGen confirmed he's willing to tour us around (and plans to bring Mrs. @BestGen too!)--
    but that was before the shenanigans really got going. Fingers crossed it goes as well as none-of-our-other-plans :laughing:

    .. and Hint to the Wise: you may get stuck if you're off-roading behind @nishibot's gigantic investor-- BUT that's where to find the cold margaritas! :cheers: (And a place to sleep 'em off)

    Let me know if I missed anything. (And shout-outs to anyone I didnt mention... yet.)

    :rofl:Thanks for the summary! That pretty much sums up everything. I do recall @Porschetech29 said he was going to make it with his son :thumbsup:. If Steve is brining his trailer, I’m parking the truck and I’m going to ride in the trailer and watch TV :D.

    So far so good :thumbsup: looks like a lot of people might make the journey :fistbump: I might start tagging folks so we can really get this party started. I’m always down for some margaritas and a taco man :woot:

    Booooo to Tony @fisherman951 for not making the trip o_O

    I still don't know yet (the people we have those far off plans with are currently out of the US, so we are waiting for them to return to suggest a different weekend). But all o' y'all are a brutal bunch; I will not show any weakness or hesitation on here. Do you feel me, @fisherman951 ?!!

    Probably a group from SD will caravan up early that Saturday, like an on-the-highway tailgate party. Hope you can make it!

    It would be awesome if everyone who anticipates joining us (or doing other off-roading in the future) picks up a handheld HAM (under the theory that you'll get some use out of it, learn how it works on these easy trails, then be ready to use it if you ever really need it). We relay info from the front to the back of our SoCal Conga lines.

    That said, you can Totally come out with us on this run without a radio; we just need to know so we can slot you in between others that have 'em.

    Not having a radio is NO EXCUSE not to come out and play!

    @Sunnier @Marty McFly yeah you are right at that, no excuse not to come!!! I know which two way radio I am getting and how to use them. I just had to tune up my Mountain bike which is where the funds went. Now that I got a little extra I can put some back into the truck/overlanding fund. :spending:
