San Diego east county Pancake Rock

Hey Crom didn't you & david k hit that trail once ? I know you were talking about it

 

Unfortunately no we didn't. We were trying to connect and go wheel together but it hasn't happened due to my family obligations. I even got my passport to go to Baja because of David. Haha.

Since the time you started this thread I've had this location bookmarked on my mobile maps program. I just need to carve out time to go there. I'd like to operate my mobile HAM radio from up there.

 

Bummer, I know David has been real busy this past year with book he published on Baja & yeah my wheeling has cut back considerably due to family issues as well..

 

I'm just worried about breaking down so far away!

 

Ohhhhh, stop it !! Put your big boy pants on & do this, if you break no worries, we got ya covered dude !!.....

 

Okay I'll be in San Diego Friday about 11 am!

 

Is there a trail run this Saturday on this?

 

Yup

 

Forwarded you a pm from Tyler

 

Oh c'mon gabe !! I drive all the way to alpine to see you guys off this morning & this is all ya got ??!!....details bro'....

 

Ahhh , yeah I heard it was more rutted up, that can be a tricky little trail, how'd you like the entrance ?? First 50 ft is an eye opener haha, did you guys go up Pancake Rock ?? I thought it was pretty cool I got to talk to some of you over that little Kenwood 2m. that radio rocks, I was in my driveway talking to you guys 20+ miles away !!!

 

Just got home. That run was fun! I don't think I have laughed that much a in while. Bunch of clowns on the trail, haha. Yea we went up the face of Pancake, that's not too bad. Some of the ruts/rocks were a little challenge but overall, everybody did very well today. I think some engine skids are in order for a couple guys.

 

Indeed, was a great time! Stake 1 Erik 0....LOL, thanks to Tyler and all the help from the group got me going again, thanks alot guys. Videos in the oven.

Still a bit miffed by those derps and that infant not in a car seat.

 

yup, VHF FTW!

 

I don't care where your from, the face is def. steep but the great thing about solid granite is the traction factor.... Looking down the rock...




If you made a full locked right turn into the wall, this is how we went, pretty hairball....

 

Thanks every body i had a blast today

 

How'd your fender flairs hold up Patrick ?? (snicker...)

 

Well they are currently riding around town in the back seat

 

Haha, yep, silly 2nd. gens..... I wished like hell I coulda been out there today, but truck just not ready yet , need CV's & upper ball joints still , but family matters have kept me close to home, anyways hope you & Sam had fun & glad ya got away from the furnace for a few days..(Az)

You & Connor are welcome out here anytime dude....I'll be ready next time...& consider coming out in the winter for a snow run, they've been pretty epic in the past....


Hey Erik is this where you popped your tire ??

 

No back near the start, where you can make a left and the first real challenge, it was beat over and a hard spot to view, put about a 1/2-3/4" slash in the inner sidewall.

Come to find out my MT ATZ arent made any more, nor are my wheels, ebay time I guess....
