Even though we aren't holding the Springfest event doesn't mean we can't get together for a day run in Calico. I can only make it out there on the 28th but I'll be there.

Sunnygrill (Nikos) invited me to join him with the Myjeeprocks event that weekend...so we'll both be out there too - from Fri night (late) to Sunday afternoon. He'll be bringing his trailer, so we'll be setting up a base camp somewhere as of yet undetermined. We'll have to get comms info set up, so that we can meet up with each other out there...

Ha mr Larry will be good to see you there
Gonna run wallstreet with us on Sunday?

I'm a maybe. I'm pretty sure Bruised FJ is in for sure and maybe ChasH3 as well. Hope to see you guys out there.

I'm in for Saturday and Sunday. I can get there as early Sat as need be.

NotaMog suggested we meet at Camp Rock. I guess this depends partly on where Larry and SunnyGrill will be camping. Does anyone have GPS coordinates for Camp Rock?

As for comms, should we use 146.385 for ham, and channel 14 for CB? Ham experts, please offer better choices if mine is not adequate.

WooHoo - time to get dirty!

Jon- Below are the frequencies OAUSA is trying to get members to adopt for most all official and non official runs. Using these makes it easy for everyone involved especially last minutes arrivals.

OAUSA 1 - 147.510
OAUSA 2 - 147.570
OAUSA 3 - 147.450
OAUSA 4 - 145.570

According to DeLorme it's at N 34 56.399, W 116 50.357. You can't miss it if you drive up Mule Canyon Road off of Calico Road. About a mile after you enter the canyon you'll reach an area where it opens up. Camp Rock will be in front of you. There are some signs explaining the history and geology of the area on the left.

I hope to be able to make it out there. I should have my truck back from the fabricator this weekend and I want to take it out before the Parashant trip to see how the new rack and bumper hold up.

I hope you make it out there Bruce, the Pinzgauer will just look cool out in Calico.

I editted the first post with comms plan. I think a 9:00 am hit the trail time might be good.

I would join you guys if I didn't already have plans to head up there this weekend...
