Orange County CAF's: up to no good

Do we know what trails are open besides cleghorn

 

I am going AFK for a while but will leave it up to Papa. We should have a plan by 7:30-8:00 pm though

 

Can't post again. I'll be over 1000 posts and feel like a internet nerd...

 

why not both lol

 

LOL!!! Either I've been "missed" or ???!!! LMAO!!! What's up mang!!!

I have a Meade, Orion, Celestron of various sizes. They're all either Newtonians or Refractors. Just cleaned my 8in Primary (i.e. the dollar is there for size comparison) for my Orion and need to get off of my A$$ to clean the secondary (that is much, MUCH SMALLER, LMAO)!!! My Celestron is just a 60mm and want to get the 6in Celestron Newtonian when I get the chance. Like Bigbarlo said, "ford vs chevy". It all really depends on the end user and if they're brand loyal or just like the features that the scope has. I just get what I can afford and like and the rest can go find a knot hole if they don't like what I have (i.e. I'm not brand loyal because they all have good features to them).


LOL, this is my small setup that I've been wanting to try out in the desert one of these days. Simple and easy to lug around for sure. That is my 3in (76mm) Newtonian and my 60mm Celestron Refractor. That is my OLD tripod that is in still pretty decent shape. I call this my "Frankenstein Scope", LOL!!!


My other scopes are a 120mm Refractor, 4.5in Newtonian, 80mm Refractor, and my other older 4.5in Newtonian that I need a primary and secondary mirror for.

Is there some "star party" that someone is putting together? I've been thinking about one, but don't know when yet? Either up in Big Bear somewhere or out in Anza Borrego? Either way, somewhere away from city lights and pretty damn remote. I gotta get away from city shi- every now and then!!! Anyways... I would LOVE to get together with someone or a few that are into scopes and astronomy!!! I always have something new to learn from someone.

@BLKTRUCK Oscar, I would make the post longer, but I have to eat, LOL!!! I'll be back on to take up a page or two, LMAO!!!

 

sweet I have 4" Newtonian 4se and 10se. all Celestrons. I have had my Newtonian for more than 30 years. dang I'm old

 

I know clerghorn is farther but I feel like it's more fun than main divide and I'd we're going out might as well do it in style

 

I just have to be at work at 8 in the morning so I'd like to get at least a couple hours of sleep lol closer is better for me

 

Yeah it totally get it. I got work tomorrow too unfortunately. Definitely power napping soon

 

4 10's baby its the weekend

 

I know a range rover group is going up the main divide as well. Someone said it was going to be a large group

 

I would rather avoid that. It's another 45 mins to clerghorn at least without traffic but I definitely think it's more fun

 

Your call. If I make it to cleghorn then I am crashing in the truck.

 

I think cleghorn is only about 15-20 mins further than MD from my house

 

i vote cleghorn

 

I'm gonna take a nap then check the form to see what's been planned. Idk when but @4WALKER and I were thinking about heading out between 10 & 11. Get there around midnight

 

Sounds like cleghorn is where we're going. Are the trails we'd take fairly easy with stock 4x4

 

But if its smokie and not the good kind it can really be a drag! Since i quit smoking cigs i cant stand the smell of stagnant smoke.
Most of the time i can see the peek if main divide from the pad. Today i dont see shit.
Idk man. Shit everywhere!

Are you going to Pismo next weekend?

 

Yes but there are a few trails tobe aware of like Rons slope with rons rocks.
I would say if you see this turn around and go back to the main fire road

@Nicklovin
You see this kid anymore?

 

so just found this.....
