4th "Annual" Red Canyon Run

Should be there by 9:45 running a bit late

 

I stopped off and camped in Idyllwild last night, my ETA is 9 AM

 

I'm parked in the museum's parking lot.

 

I started to head out last night and my instrument cluster (speedo, tach, etc) stopped working, so I turned around. Doesn't look to be a fuse, feeling pretty bummed. @alb1k should still be rolling out though.

Hope to see some of you at Fiesta Island!

 

Stopped in Indio getting groceries

 

Are you meeting us at the museum parking lot?

 

Thank you everyone for a great time!!! Especially @Norsemanvike and @Silverlogic for making it happen. I also appreciate you welcoming a 1st Gen Tundra and a Jeep! Everyone was great company and great to meet.

 

It was great. See you soon brother.

 

Thanks for coming!

 

Thanks to Norsemanvike and Silverlogic for setting this up, and the difficult task of herding us cats! Well done!

The side-by-sides roaming around between 10 PM and 1 AM under a full moon were fun to see and hear. Jealous!

 

Thanks again to @Norsemanvike and @Silverlogic Had a great time! Was nice meeting cool people and catching up with old brothers!!! Here are a few pics I took. Till next time Kanpai

It was fun! My photos should be ready late this week.

 

Geodes were cracked last night. The results were way better than expected. The niece and nephew were losing their minds with excitement. I'll post pictures of the rocks in a bit for anyone interested.

Wow, that's awesome!...Yea, that DEF would have been worth another 40 miles of washboards!!

Edit: I mean that I now wish I would have gone with you, for finds like that. Instead, I passed it up. Ugh!

 

Nice! Other than the one I split out there not much luck, except for this one with a small cavity. I split some rocks for the neighbor's grandkids a couple of years ago, I know that look of excitement!

The washboards weren't bad, overall much better than the Wash. However there was an occasional dust bomb to keep things interesting!

 

90 minutes in direct 108° heat without shade picking through rocks was worth it.

 

It was very nice meeting everyone.

 

Most of the Bradshaw trail is county maintained and graded annually, we averaged 40mph(I briefly topped 65 at one point towards the end, Bilstein 8112/8100 are magic).

 

The last one was way too big to bring home, but very cool.

 

One last rock picture. This one was cut in half with a tile saw rather than smashed by a 6 year old.
