    Ok guys I was thinking about bringing a little charcoal grill and buying some hot dogs and hamburgers for say Friday night dinner. Do you guys have any preference on the patties, maybe chicken instead of beef or?

    Yessir-Yessir! just a few more days till we're mobbing phat. Thanks to Reckless, I now have four more tie down points and some fully wired Amber lights on a lightbar with my High-Lift. This afternoon I'll be packing some blankets and small supplies- toilet paper, zip ties, trash bags etc.

    Can't wait to meet you guys from up North. I'm sure we're gonna have a damn good time.

    Matt and I are collecting wood from his back yard. He's got these huge long-burning rounds to burn.

    I wish there were more people from SD coming up as well. Guess they're all doing Pismo so they gotta choose one or the other. I think I'll like this more as I'll be getting stuck a lot less than I would at Pismo.

    I just ran through Harvard Rd. to Afton Canyon on G-Earth. My only question is: When do we cross the tracks into Afton Canyon?

    Once we hit the train tracks, there's a bridge that we drive under and that road takes us into Afton Canyon.
