Leap Day Run - 2/29/20 - Palomar to Borrego Springs

Can't wait to see your dash cam footage! Part of me wishes we stopped to take some pics on those couple of "oof" spots just so I can look back and remember what my truck is capable of. Not gonna lie, I think it was the last section on Grapevine where I stopped and said "I can't do this" and then remembered I had 15 trucks behind me so let's go lol

 

Camping was windy as hell, but the stars were out.

 

it's the guy..its the guy

 

@Samus thank you for organizing this. It was my first event of this nature and one I will not forget. New adventure, new friends, and more memories.
@mynameismudflap @CaliTaco718 found a good (windy) campsite and a quick drive down Fish Creek wash to hike to the Wind Caves

 

Looks like you guys had a good time camping - wish I could have gone, hopefully next time

Great meeting everyone. Big thanks to Sam for setting it all up!

 

Yes, thank you @Samus and it was great meeting you guys @mynameismudflap and @sicki !. The camping and hike up to wind caves was a bonus!...I have some pictures to add also. I even have a short video of us making it through those work trucks!

Good meeting the rest of you peeps also! Perhaps will get to you guys at various other meets too, TW, TRSD, DRTGarage are also other ones out there doing meets complete with raffles!

 

Had a great time out there meeting all you guys, thank you @Samus for setting this all up. Looking forward to more pictures; I'll bring a drone out next time for more footage

 

Through my lens...Good times!

Thanks so much for setting this up Sam. This was my first time out in that area and it was a blast. It was great meeting everyone and hope to do another run with you guys soon. Pics look great.

After we all split up for the day , I continued exploring a little bit and found a few more metal sculptures. Then I decided to head home and took the route that went by the Salton Sea. Man there must have been over a 1000 off roaders out there. It was a traffic jam.

On my way home, I saw a sign for Font's Point and remember Sam mentioning it a few times so I made a quick u-turn and headed out there. Man, the view was SPECTACULAR !!!! I'm so glad I made it out there.

I pulled into the driveway just before 8pm and on an empty tank of gas. I found out that our trucks center display lights up orange when your about to run out of gas. It was a long day but very enjoyable.

I'll post up some photos soon.

Thanks again Sam.

 

I used the gopro app and algorithm cuz I'm lazy haha. so dont judge me lol.
shows the chronological order of our trip in little bits. tried not to make it too long

Man that Inferno Tacoma is sweet. Looks like you guys had a great time. That looks like a tight squeeze between those rocks but with an expert like @Norsemanvike it looks simple!!!

Great photos. Thanks

 

Yep. I agree. @Samus did a great job.

 

Great pics mudflap!

 

I really glad you take the time to shoot some photos. Nice job.

 

Don't judge ??? Well I'm judging. Very cool. Nothing wrong with being lazy once or twice a year !!!

 

Thanks Mike!

 

Traffic jams with a bunch of off-roaders doesn't sound TOO bad.
