So-Cal wheelin trip September 12th-14th

Just requested that Friday off. can't wait to finally get out and see some dirt! It's been months!

 

Alex, John, Glen and Nick and Basikbiker...what time can ya'll leave on Friday the 12 to cruise down south to Hungry Valley? Keep in mind it's about 250 miles away.

 

oh man I can leave whenever, always higher on the cool factor traveling with a bunch of folks

 

Planning to arrive about 7-8am on Saturday and just wheel for the day. I'm bringing my recovery equipment in case I need to save somebody again

 

Im trying to get friday off. I can leave whenever if I get it off. If I cant get it off I should be able to work a half day and leave around 11. But I can drive down alone if I have to work.

 

Not sure what everyone wants to do, but I was thinking of leaving early Friday morning, like 4 am, that way at least I'll beat the morning traffic.

 

alright so it looks like you guys won't be caravaning down again based on the times that everyone is posting. Lets do CB channel 16 so everyone is on the same station

 

John do you have everyone's number? Nick you got dudes numbers? I'm guessing there is cell reception if the cbs aren't working... I'm still missing a good antenna. My coat hanger replacement is a little weak

 

Do you still have your uncle's (? don't remember who's it was...) old ass radio?

 

From what I remember, most of hungry valley gets decent signal for ATT. I'm not sure about verizon.

 

You guys gunna be on a set channel on the ham radio or CB?
Ill be one of the Socal guys comin to show yall hows its done and im not even from this state! see yeah friday night

 

haha yeah my dad's from 1979...Midland is LEGIT

 

lost the antenna wheeling at La Grange though

 

sorry there Miami Hurricane but we will show you how us Cali boys roll

 

...just watch out for the donuts and rocks flying everywhere

 

Nice. It sounded awesome at Hollister a few months ago. How'd you lose the antenna?!

 

whoever wants to caravan down Friday, I can meet up anywhere fresno and south of there, whenever

 

anyone from the riverside area heading out to this? if so and you want to be compensated for some gas, I'm selling my old leaf springs to another member out in that area and he is willing to pay a little for you to deliver them/ meet up much closer than I am to him.

otherwise...getting excited for this one. wheeling trips have been minimal for far too long, and to test out the new leafs (haven't even arrived yet) the last socal meet up out there that i went to had a very diverse crowd and we only managed to run over one dirtbike (everyone was fine, no damage or injuries to either party, but they are out there and we do need to be careful carrying speed around some of the corners)

anyways, my cb has been deciding to not work, and I haven't bothered to troubleshoot it, so i'll be in the dark as far as communication goes other than yelling out the window or cell service. att does have pretty good service out there, verizon ok, everyone else might as well leave them at home

been riding dirtbikes out there for about 17 years now, so I know my way around damn well in the main hungry valley area. once we get into more of the frazier park side over by miller jeep trail, i've done minimal exploring on a bike, but never in a truck. that area will be much more fun for those of us with 4x4

 

Firestik antenna brah. Make sure you get the threaded mount, and you could probably find or make a bracket to go on the top/side of your bed. Or if you wanted to mount it on your tow hitch plate it would probably work there too without a separate bracket.

 

He was using a magnetic mount antenna from the 70s, the antenna probably just wanted to be free after 40 years. Or it couldn't handle the bumps at La Grange.
