Summer 2010 Ocotillo Wells weekend meet/run TRIP

This school year's semester is over with (for those of us who are still in school) and summer is coming soon. I've missed all of the Ocotillo trips since I've had my truck so far, so I wanted to try to organize one.

I'm not sure when exactly this would be, that is totally open right now. iamrayzian is setting up at beach meet for sometime this summer(http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/so...beach-bbq-x-basketball-x-beer-meet-great.html), so I wouldn't want to to it too close to that day, whenever everybody decides on it.

Would anybody else be interested in going?

Post a weekend that would work for you (dont forget about the beach meet!)
If anybody has any ideas, or wants to try to help set it up, feel free to let me know.

 

Shit Blake you know how hot it is in Ocotillo in June ? Its horrible & down right dangerous Bro' . I'll wait for October for Ocotillofest... when it cools down to 90

 

Ahhhhh don't listen to the old man! "Horrible & Down Right Dangerous" is my middle name . I say we no it but do it smart. Trucks should all be properly PMed (jarhead term for "preventnative maintinence") and have some sort of safety, survival, and recovery gear. I'm no expert in the matter I'm just saying! Resorting back to my old deployment day in the hot desert sands and sun and what we did and have in our trucks.

 

Thats why we get a pool or go to one. I've heard that 3 places out there have pools. Hang out during the day, ride and run at night?

Exactly. Every time I go I usually over pack. If we get enough people out there, I'm sure well have all the supplies. I can bring plenty of water, an ez up, tents, tables, chairs, etc. I don't have any safety/survival/recovery gear though. I do have a couple ropes, not tow ropes though.

 

i'd be more than willing to make the trip down to oco.

if this meet is planned for later in the summer, like august-ish

i might have my rear LT done by then.

 

way to hot for my liking...chill at the beach, wait til the fall/winter for the desert.

 

Is it just driving around in the sand or is there really hard like rock climbing or anything there? (can a dumb ass drive it?)

 

HEY you lurker !!! Hows the shoulder Richard ?? & its about time you surfaced dude

 

Yes , a Dumbass can drive it so should we add you to the list ?? j/k

 

Well I should be out in socal by June 5th maybe the 6th.. and I think it is only 2 hours from my new house.. so maybe this dumbass can go.. LOL I have never driven in the desert before but I am gonna learn quit moving to the high desert....

 

Im so down to go, just went there last weekend and it was really nice. It would be sweet to do some sort of night trip to avoid the heat, like get out there around 4 pm do some afternoon runs spend the night then do some morning runs.

 

Desert heat ain't shit! SITFU!!! Step back and look atvthe bigger picture...fun in the sun, getting dirty with the boys, and enjoying cold beverages! I'm down, just plan something out. If you make a weekend out of it even better. Lets do this!!!

 

Fuggin' Rick has spoken, we better plan something I guess he misses that Iraqi heat, is that what it is Marine ? Naww ,its hot out = more ....

 

What up Doug! Got a lot of my range of motion back, now its strength and getting this nerve to stop making my bicep feel on fire. I feel weird at the gym on the MCRD lifting 3-4lb weights and doing 10-20lb tricep work outs
