Ocotillo Wells March 18th-20th???

Hey guys I'm dying to get out to Ocotillo Wells this month to get out relax and moab the taco. I was thinking to plan the weekend of the 18-20th. I don't think it conflicted with any other desert trips. This is going to be low keyed so just show up when you want. Day trip. Whole weekend. I know the area pretty well and probably planning out a few trail adventures like split mt rd to superstition mt and some other stuff through borrego springs and open to any other ideas from fellow TW. Hopefully the weather doesn't do anything strange. Something like the Superstition Mt meet in January, but smaller crowd due to a 2 week heads up.

 

i maybe able to pull it off. ive wanted to go since you told me about it haha

 

I may be in.

If i go, I'll probably camp out Saturday night.

 

Can you believe it 3 months flew by already since Lucerne. No wonder why I got the desert bug.

That will be awesome, I like to see a contrast of prerunners and 4x4. Don't worry I wont try to get stuck in sand.

 

Lets go to pismo!

 

I would love to go but I can't go till the weekend of 25-27th.

.....unless.... the date was moved to then hahaha

 

Aww can't do that weekend, following week I'll be out of town and work will shoot me if I request 2 weekends off in a row.

Brian, Pismo meet was just a few weeks ago. Take it easy on the Monster. Plus I don't own paddles yet.

 

Northca tacos are having one the same week..

we could do octillio wells if theres more interest in that

 

I thought that was planned for the 12th?

 

ide rather do this trip than pismo...something new.

 

Did you get your truck fixed Adam?

 

Not yet it's at toyota finally after the insurance had it at the wrong place and let it sit for a week and no one went to look at it. But I'll probably be getting a new engine so thats a plus. But my girlfriend has been listening to me complain about wanting my truck hahaha

Anything new parts on the fj?

 

True.. hmm..


How is it over there? anyone know?

 

Got the ICON stage 1 a few weeks ago but still saving up for a quality UCA.

The mod bug has been working overtime though HAHA...

 

Hahaha I know. This site ruins the bank account

 

There is a good mix of everything. You got hard 4x4 terrain. Washes to haul ass in with whoops or completely flat. Mixture of sand about 2-4" deep to very hard compact dirt. Trails that can take you different offroad parks like superstition mt or borrego springs. Here is a vid last year when I was out there of just a small sample what is there to offer. It's a different place. Prerunners won't get stuck and 4x4 can find some pretty ugly stuff.
