Calico 01/31/09

Post by Blackx » Tue Feb 03, 2009 10:53 pm

Hi All:
I had a fun weekend up in Calico. It was a pretty mild weekend as far as the off roading goes. Decided to keep it a little low key since the funds are low and wouldn't want to have to fix anything right now.

Here's a link to the blog I wrote. http://ruggedrocksoffroad.com/blog/2009 ... co-013109/

And some pictures.

I look forward to getting on the trial with you guys soon.

Very nice picx, blackx.

Calico is a fun area, where you can get as wild as you like, or can keep it simple and just explore the terrain...either way, a good time, for sure...

Looking forward to getting out that way again soon... :D

Nice write-up, Blackx. Thanks for posting it. Yep, Calico is a fun place for wheeling, camping, and shooting!

The tunnel is just after the entrance to the gatekeeper bypass, it didn't really go anywhere but it made for some cool pics :D

Gotta love those new cameras that put the GPS coordinates on the pics...sure makes it easy to go back to the spots you liked enough to photograph... :D
