Ocotillo Wells/Anza Borrego 10/21-10/23

Thanks bro!Add a +1 and camping to that for now!

 

For some reason I thought this was the week before the 22nd? Maybe I'm thinking of the first date we were tossing around....

My buddy's wedding is on that Sunday but I'll come out Friday night and camp through Saturday night...actually his wedding is in Temecula so many I could just camp there Sat night as well and leave from there on Sunday? hmmm

 

Planning to request friday off so I can roll with the thursday guys/gals

 

I need to verify with the lady still. We start moving her from Applevalley to Chino this weekend... here's to hoping we can get enough done where she doesn't have to commute anymore!

 

Here is a trail that I was on that is pretty fun. The pics were taken while in Oriflamme Canyon. If you fast forward to 8:05, LOL, there is the corner that you see in the pictures. It tells you how to get to the trail head, but, LMAO, I'm NOT a very good "leader", LOL!!! I just might go on this trail AGAIN while I'm down there.

@ODNAREM Ron, DUDE, PLEASE TRY to make this trip!!! I truly believe you would dig this trail!!!

People that I think may be going to AB:
@TXpro4X4 Bryan, I believe you are already going. @Nicklovin Nick, I KNOW you are going, LOL!!! @madsand Sandz, I think you said that it all depends on scheduling?

People that I don't know will be going to AB for sure???:
@icetreye Kevin, @uhplifted Brian, @1truckdriver Daniel, @digitaLbraVo Denny, @BLKTRUCK Oscar (bro, you GOTTA bring yours/hers/whosever Taco...), @goblue82 Greg, @Spencer Spencer, @anthony250f Anthony, @Ducman4x4 Melvin, @Dangerousd1987 Dustin, @4x4Banger Charlie, @HolyChristThereAreAlotOfYou, LMAO!!! You guys just might like the trails down there if you already haven't been???!!!

 

I'm game to go on this trail

 

I've been a lot of places outin Ocotillo buthe not seen vegetation like that I'm seeing in some of your video stuff, where is this place?

 

Anza Borrego

 

So not immediate Ocotillo Wells then, how far is the drive from Holmes camp?

 

Been down this one too!!! It is F'N KRAZY scary!!! The hill is WAAAAAAY STEEP!!! That very same night that you see the pics I just posted above, LOL!!! It is called "The Slot" and is pretty near the ranger station, from what I remember. Talk about "pucker factor", LMAO!!!

I would have to research some more? My friend in the blue Taco was the one that did all of the trail leading that night. I just know that it is Oriflamme Canyon??? That is all I know right now??? All I can say is that it was a fun trail to run on. NOT too technical, but definitely rocky in some spots for sure!!!

Regarding "The Slot", I just know that it is on a trail that starts off near the ranger station? Once you are there, it is either, GO THROUGH and NOT flip over (LOL) OR turn back!!! LMAO!!! We did it at night and now that I see it on vid during the day time (other random people from YouTube), it is like... W...T...F... was I smok'n, LMFAO!!! I have video of the Diablo Dropoff, but is in *.mov format and I can't edit the F'N thing to shorten it within reason???!!! Next time we meet, I will bring my tablet to show you the vid, of at least, the Diablo Drop Off. I had no vid camera batt left when we go to "The Slot"!!! That was ALL part of the ALL NIGHT trail run that we did, LOL!!! Almost 10.5hrs worth of it!!! LMAO!!!

 

We're meeting. Thursday at Terreux

 

I have hears of Slowed Canyon
The others not sure.
When I first started going to Ocotillo was just with bikes.
And honestly have been very much since acquiring the 4x4.
Idk.
I just like the camping and the experience with friends. Not to mention the

 

If it is a Thur, then I SHOULD be able to make it??? I don't see any reason that I can't??? Friday-Sunday are pretty much a no go for me. My sister is typically all for it, but I feel bad leaving her to take care of our mom since she is the main caregiver and that is the reason for me being at her place during the weekends in the first place (i.e. to help out my sister)!!! One of the main reasons why I quit my previous job, BUT, I promise I will not get into that one again. Anyways... back to topic.

 

I'll tag you in the brewery meet up thread. Looking forward to watching your vids and discussing Anza with you though!

 

I'll make sure to bring the tablet. Also, I'll make sure to bring some of the pics that were taken that night as well at various spots during the run. LOL, I just don't know where those spots were??? LMAO!!! I'll talk to my friend and see what I can find out before Thursday.

I do remember that one of the trails was "Canyon Sin Nombre" or something like that.

 

JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!!! What up brotha!!! You guys make'n a run for the border as well??? See some of the vids I posted and pictures. NOTE: the vids are NOT mine (i.e. of me), but the pictures are of me and my friends.

@TXpro4X4 Bryan, @uhplifted Brian here is dirtopia on Oriflamme Canyon. CHECKOUT what it says about Google Maps at the very bottom??? SOOOO, just in case you guys get confused on trying to find this trail. I don't know if it is true or what about the Google Maps??? Anyways, just letting you guys know.

Idk man, if I go. Going to try and ride my bike more.
Only rode it once for a few min last time I was there and to me! That is an epic fail!

 

I just could NOT hit the "Like" button for this, LMAO!!! Understood though Bryan. Just hope you change your mind on at least 1x run, whichever that run may be that I am on???

 

@Mike likes Tacos "I want to like like like... this" LMAO (NOTE: that is from a commercial, btw, LOL)!!! HOW do "I" edit me OUT OF the "maybe list" and in to the cool crowd that is going, LMAO???
