OFFICIAL Socal Tacomas Ocotillo Night Run Sat AUG 2nd for Manny's birthday

Sub'd

 

Any other new members going? I want to go but I dont want to be the only one that doesn't know anybody lol

 

Your only new for like 15 seconds. Then you have a great time and use your Tacoma in the desert like it's supposed to be used.

 

You caravaning with Gabe on Saturday?

 

Yup

 

I'm caravanning with Tom and Gabe tomorrow. See you guys in the DEZZZZZ

 

If I have my A/C up and running tomorrow I will cruise.

 

not to bad. but my luck i will get pulled it to a big a** flash flood.

 

I think I'm going to get a room either at Desert Ironwoods, or Julian where it's a bit cooler. Depends on how tired I am after the run, and how far I feel like driving.

I'll be hitting up Corral Canyon in the morning for some 4x4 wheeling if anybody else is down

 

Got a room at Ironwoods. Can't beat 75 bucks for AC, TV, wifi, and a pool in Ocotillo Wells.

 

What channel is everyone going to be running, might head out a little later.

 

Everyone still going with this rain?? Any of you been out there in these conditions?

 

Yes. It's important to stay out of the washes or lower elevation roads when there's water on the ground. As long as you're aware of the situation and have a plan to get to higher ground, you'll be fine.

The tricky thing with flash floods is that although it may not be raining overhead, it can be dumping miles away and the washes carry the water down hill.

Realistically, with this many people, the only reason you shouldn't go is to keep the mud off the truck.

 

For a beginner in the desert would this trip be worth coming down from oceanside. I mean I have nothing going on today but I dont really want to drive two hours just to be so confused on what's going on.

 

Bro i'm leaving around 4 if you want to tag along, my truck only has C/O you'll be fine as long as you keep your distance from other trucks and be cautious.

 

..Almost made it happen today.

 

This is the best trip for beginners, with this many people it will be pretty slow paced

 

Yep beginners should come

 

Same here, check in ends at 8 so make sure you check in before hit the trail

 

Gonna be fun! Looks like its raining out there now!
