Frontier and Tacoma Ocotillo Run

I'm not to sure if anything like this has been done before but after meeting some members up in Hungry Valley I thought about this trip. I asked some of the Frontier guys as to where to make this run and they mostly said Ocotillo. Personally I'm not to familiar with the area so I will be needing a volunteer to actually lead the group and have some input on meeting locations, destinations, and camp sites. Is this something anyone would be interested in? Now here is the only kicker, my truck is currently broke (rack and pinion, CV). My expectations is to have the truck running by mid Oct. which is fine since it can give us a bit more time on planning. Thought?

If the run goes well maybe we can even make this an annual event.

I'm in

 

I'd be down. Used to drive an 07 Frontier

 

nice to see some interest. how would the last weekend of oct sound to you guys?

here is the thread i have going on at club frontier http://www.clubfrontier.org/forums/f38/frontier-tacoma-ocotillo-run-158177/

 

sounds like a plan, spread the word to get a lil higher attendance.

 

I'll most likely be out there for Halloween as well as quite a few others on here but we won't be doing any crawling. We're the guys jumping our trucks off everything and driving fast (don't get that confused with reckless because that's not our style).

 

I can make oct 31-into november

 

Oh yeah, it's this a crawling trip? I like my fair share of crawling but Ocotillo is my go fast destination.

 

My truck cannot exactly crawl. Its still learning how to walk

 

I figured it was aimed more for crawling and slow driving. I mean I will crawl through quite a bit but I'm not going to make it far through fish creek and stuff like that.

 

Fish Creek is actually nothing more than a wash. No crawling necessary unless you hit Diablo drop off, heart attack Hill, or broken shaft gulch

 

That's what I meant.

So have we decided an official date yet. Lets stick with Halloween weekend

Sounds like a fun trip, Never wheeled through Ocotillo before. I may be able to join you guys. Its a long drive for me to get down there, about 170 miles, and I'm doing a Mojave Trail trip Oct 17-19 so if the gas money is available count me in.

 

hey guys, my apologizes for the delay. halloween weekend sounds great (nov 1-2)
