NORCAL: Slick Rock and Corral Hollow wheeling trip 6/9/12

gotta love google...

speaking Pine Needle Flat trail, I found this vid on NorCal FJs. I see Alvin joined in on the fun

wtf alvin you are everywhere but here!

 

I first met Alvin at a NorcalFJs event.

w3tw0rks: "less time on the keyboard means more time on the trail."

(He didn't say it, but he could have.)

 

Someone say MOAB I'm down for whatever I'm my own boss so whenever you guys and get out

I'm down for pine needle flat that trail looks better then corral hollow.

 

Maybe noon? I might want to leave the morning open to take care of last minute things. I was looking at the map, and it might make more sense to meet you guys in Stockton, then roll from there.

As far as Pine Needle Flat Trail, if more people wanna do that, we can do that

 

Sounds good to me we can figure it out when it gets closer.

 

Is there a link for pine needle flat? I might just be able to do one day of wheeling.
in the past Ive been working 25-40 hours per 15 days, now im doing about 10-18 hours. Id like to still go wheeling but both days is probably too much for me.
(im assuming that your doing pine needle on the second day)

 

Wheeling will be on Saturday. We're going there Friday just to camp out, maybe wheel a little or go fishing. But the main day where we'll run Slick Rock and Corral Hollow (or Pine Needle Flat) is Saturday

 

okay, ill let you guys know my plan.

 

Yeah slick rock is a fast trail we were done before lunch and started after 10:00am we just hung out a the last obstacle and watched the crawlers mess around.

 

I think we was done like 2-3ish I think. But remember that most who was with us that day, have wheeled in similair terrain before and did not need to be spotted thru the obstacles. I think we will be moving at a slower pace, which is fine by me.

 

I don't know the meaning of slow and I was done at 12:00 we waited for your group for just about 2 hours all I know is im in the front of a group so I can stop and wait and enjoy the forest I hate wheling super slow.

 

We had to stop for a flat that day. Had to swap out to a spare. I rather enjoy the trail as I am driving thru than rushing to the end. I like my turtle pace, keeps me from breaking stuff. Why drive 3 -4 hours to rush thru a trail, enjoy it. Oh and I might be in need of your LCA skids, beat the hell out of mines getting over last obstacle, the hard way.

 

Slow is my style.

But Jerry, why are you posting on here man? I thought you were on the road to Moab?

 

he was probably nervous this morning

 

lol yeah he told me a week ago i was like

 

minor damage....





love my skids....

 

^ and that's with your short wheel base?

looks like fun

 

man and i dont even have skid plates lol dont scare me man

 

I was directed to this post from someone I know. We also will have a group of 6-10 80 series and other rigs. We will be running the opposite way you guys are. If you guys are running alot of rigs it's best to split them up into groups as mentioned before.

This is one of a couple trails left to wheel right now so adhere to treading lightly and not wandering off the trail or playing in the mud. Bring cat litter, ect to clean up any spills.
I'm just passing this info along since it hasn't been mention. AFAIK

Will be looking foward to see those tacos on the trail.
