Hungry Valley Apr 27-29 Campout and Wheeling

Hell yeah. Nice man. Dave we got another another dude rollin

 

I'd be cool to meet some more socal members. You guys have some sweet builds

 

Havent really been to any "meets" you guys do. So lets see how this goes

 

That's my kinda dude...no maybes...no I'll think about it. You're down! Hell yeah

 

I haven't been to hardly any so cal meets...most of the guys I know are from nor cal. Hopefully meet some new dudes at Hungry Valley

 

Sum suhweet rides down in SD no doubt

 

John just FYI...this is where Miller is

 

Just be sure to stop at the stop signs after going fast

 

While go fast is fun I do like just getting out and seeing the scenery and relaxing.

What is most of the wheeling up there?

 

There's a lot of trails to haul ass on that I did last time in my prerunner. Ask shauncho him and I were lovin it and the scenery is awesome everywhere you go. I explored I'd say from what I think 60 percent of the park it and it was all fun. A lot of fun for prerunners and 4x4s and there's also other places around to mess around at too

 

From central SD you're looking at 200 miles to get to Hungry Valley. It's really pretty and a lot different than ocotillo/Colorado desert down in SD. It's "big" but compared to Ocotillo it's small. There are some prerunner trails but it's about 50/50 prerunner/4x4

 

Last time we had this meetup (October) we spent the majority of the time in Los Padres and doing miller jeep trail/Lockwood valley rd. this time I think (since miller is closed) we will be ruining Round hungry valley and possibly messing around in Los Padres. It's a really cool experience for the nor cal guys because there isn't really a lot of places up north that offer the mix of prerunner and 4x4 trails. For the SoCal guys it offers a good mix of 4x4 trails and some prerunner trails with the opportunity of getting out of so cal for the weekend and exploring new places/things

 

^^^^plus it's basically "in the middle" of so cal/nor cal so the nor cal dudes get to haul ass and pretend they have long travel while the so cal guys get to climb shit and actually use that 4x4 button on their trucks

 

Do you mind if I bring a best buddy of mine he drives a raptor? We can all bash on him he understands Hahaa he had a tacoma before too.
Also my buddy runs the "all yota" instagram page so he can tell more people?
