So-Cal wheelin trip September 12th-14th

Yeah buddy I'm rolling for sure. Don't know about Miller but I've heard great things about it. 170 miles ain't far you wuss...you got an old school yota...that thing will go 1,000,000 miles

 

Haha, true but it's 170 miles that go through LA...which sucks and I've done it way too many times already. My buddy and I were planning on a climbing trip this weekend but had to cancel, so if he wants to do it next weekend I'm definitely doing that, but otherwise I'm pretty sure I'll be headed up there with you guys.
When you thinking of heading out, Dave?

 

You'll see me prerunning...with my 4x4

 

I'm off work at 3pm in Pauma Valley (hwy 76 and the 15)

 

I'm so stoked for Hungry Valley. my bro is cruising up in his Montero from Fresno. He was at the LG meet too.

 

Oof, and you're heading up right after that?
LA traffic is gonna suuuck by the time you get up to LA.

 

That's insane!

What? Where are you climbing?! Obviously not the good places
San Diego has some pretty good climbing. The less-climbed areas (like Valley of the moon off the Elliot mine trail, Mount Woodson and poway crag in Poway, and a few other places off of interstate 8) are usually pretty grippy granite. Some of them are close to off-roading places or require 4wd to get there, so that's a plus.

 

Kevin I'm like 160 miles away from my work. Gonna plan on 3 on Friday...what's your plan buddy? Planning on going the 15 to 91 to 71 to 210 to the 5 bypass LA

 

Hmm...well that might be ok going westbound, so my parents say. I've just always tried to hit off-peak hours like 10:30am and 3:30pm if I go during the day. Otherwise I'll try to get through near sunrise.
I'm still not sure if my buddy wants to go climbing next weekend. If he does, I'm going climbing. If he doesn't, then I'm leaving early morning Saturday to get up to Gorman. I'd probably try to get up to Gorman by 7am.

EDIT: Looks like my buddy's down to climb, so I'm out for this trip unless it gets too hot out there next weekend.

Hmm yeah I don't know much about the santa barbara climbing. When I was at school at Davis I didn't get out climbing outdoors enough. I wish I went to Tahoe! I'll get up there to climb some day. Mt. Woodson is pretty good! If you want to add some more miles to your trip list this year, let me know and we can head out to Valley of the Moon/Elliot Mine to do a wheeling + climbing trip. Valley of the Moon's granite is pretty similar to Mt. Woodson, but a bit more rotten, unfortunately. A lot of it's pretty good, and the place is huge and relatively untouched, though, which is awesome!

 

Hell yeah gonna be so sick !!! Lets try not to fling rocks at anyone yeah ?!

 

buddy #1 checking in.

We doing miller jeep trail right? (honestly the stuff in frazier area is soo much better than anything gorman has to offer, you can look down at the gorman basin - 3kft above sealevel, from the top of frazier at 8k ft) We could leave from gorman and take it and a couple more trials to the top of fraiser mtn, very cool spot. 4x4 definitely needed, locker i could foresee a couple of spots being helpful!

Btw, here is a map of the trails in the frazier area. Its what snowsk8air2 and I use for dirtbiking out there.

 

I am probably going to be out for this trip, since it looks like you guys are wheeling at hungry valley. If you guys make it down to Ocotillo I may still come out.

 

Buddy #2 checking in. Ill be there. Bringing my 4runner.

 

bummer! I'm cruising up to Hungry Valley from SD if you wanna roll...

 

Anyone from So Cal wanna cruise up to Hungry Valley???? looks like all the dudes down here in SD don't wanna drive far to check it out.

 

Somebody at least bring one LT prerunner so I can mob in it for the day haha.
Might leave a little early sunday morning and go catch some waves fellas. I gotta surf while im down there

 

GTFO..... cant you read the forum title..... TACAOMA world...... this aint T4R

 

What up Jon, next time man, I still have ur number and I gave u my new one right?

 

Did we pick a time and place to leave from on friday? Need to figure out of im working the morning or taking the day off.

 

Hey Nick, I'll probably just roll out with u, whenever, I'm off that day.
