Hollister Hills - This Saturday 11/20/2010 - 0900 Hours

I'm looking 60-70% likely

 

Sorry I'm not going to make this Friday. The end caps on the frame which hold the front bumper are tearing off and I need to get them fixed before I do any wheeling.

 

Drat!

... well ... at least you have the long weekend to solve the problem.

 

Senna, you still wanna go? Anyone else? Friday looks clear, but Sat looks rainy.

I'm bringing my 7yo daughter, so I'm tentatively thinking something like this:

Leave San Jose by 8, hit the SVRA by 9:30, wheel for hour and a half or so - nothing too difficult because it'll be slippery from the rain and I don't have sliders or locker yet, picnic lunch, then head home, probably back in SJ by 1:30 PM.

 

I might be down for wheeling on Friday...

DON'T FORGET TO HIT UP THE GILROY OUTLETS!

 

If it was not muddy id be down.

 

unfortunately I found out late yesterday,
i have to work fri morning .

 

Bummer Senna.

Rsxftw - it's early in the season and has had a day or so to dry - I have no idea how much mud we're really going to find.

YayAreaTaco, or anyone else -

Down by the main entrance, they've got some air compressor lines for airing up. I'll get there sometime before 9:30 and wait there till 9:30 for anyone else who can show up. I've got the black regular cab with the sketch of Bullwinkle on the driver side rear window.

Last time I tried using my FRS radios they were sketchy. But if they're working, I'll be monitoring ch 7 privacy 31 - same as Norcal FJs use.

 

If anyone's checking this topic this morning, I'm running a little late. I don't feel to bad about that because no one's comitted to showing up.

 

Nice day.



Variation on the obligatory "wheel on a rock" theme:

 

Does not look too muddy!

 

Nope, not too. The obstacle course has some areas with really poor drainage (on purpose, I assume) so folks who wanted the muddy/boggy experience were hanging out there.

All the trails were just a little softer/slipperier than you'd find them on some August day.

I don't deliberately seek out mud. But still got a fair amount of cleaning to do. There was one particular mud puddle on Foothill Rd, right on the way to the exit...

I'll wait till *after* it stops raining to wash off, however.

 

looks like you had a good time, dirt looks good also, no dust is a good thing .
Did you hit up the rock corey ? You took macrae up to the top, that is a good run, good place for lunch.

Your copilot looks like she had a good time
Sorry I had to bail

 

Yeah she did good. Kids and driving on twisty bumpy roads is always iffy, so I try and keep it short. Pic was snapped at the summit of Bonanza Gulch Road, so we were looking up at McCray Road/Hector heights, and across a valley at Five Fingers.

Sorry we missed you. Next time.
