Details:
Explore areas around Elliot Mine and Table Mountain, including Valley Of The Moon, Mountain Spring, and Carrizo Gorge overlook. Who knows, we may make a wrong turn and end up in the nudist colony :lol:

Requirements:
4wd with good ground clearance, locker on one end, and good off-road tires. No full-sized vehicles!!

There will be a few rough areas, including narrow shelf road with one off-camber spot, and a very tight narrow switchback (at least a 3-point turn here). Should be good for some pucker factor and pictures..

Comms:
We'll be monitoring these repeaters:
Otay Mtn 146.640 (-) 107.2
Laguna Mtn 147.150 (+) 107.2

Simplex: TBD

Fuel:
Will be available in Jacumba

I've never been to table mtn/valley of the moon and have been wanting to check it out. Let me check with my social director... :lol:

Oh man, I'll be camping the weekend before that and might be going out the weekend after that. I don't think I can pull getting out four weeks in a row. If by some chance I can, Table Mountain to the overlook sounds good as well as the Mountain Springs stagecoach trails.

Sounds like a great idea. I will be in the dirt on Tuesday and the boss won't free me up for an additional day of play during the Thanksgiving break. Maybe later in December for me.

Should be a great day. I have a bunch of time off in December, so I'll be going out again...
