Outdoor Adventure USA

I'm looking for a second rig to tag along this Tuesday. I have a lot of ground to cover in one day and I normally solo truck this run. It's always a good idea to have another vehicle with you at least so I'm throwing it out there. We will be covering well over 100 miles of dirt traveling distance in one day. Probably closer to 150+. It will not be a race but we will be moving quite of bit of the time. We need to check trail conditions for the runs on the event. Things change over the Summer especially with all the siesmic activity this year. We will cover Oriflame Canyon, Charriot Canyon, Rodriguez Canyon, Stagecoach Trails Campground, Velicito Wash, Arroyo Tapiado, Arroyo Seco Del Diablo, Broken Shaft Gulch, Fish Creek, Split Montain, Carrizo Wash, Painted Gorge, and (time permitting) the Lost Ship of Pearls route. I will be carrying 5 Jerry cans of fuel and one Jerry can of water. I will have BorregoWrangler riding shotgun with me as well as one other coworker. DaveK will be joining us for the Oriflame, Chariot, and Rodriquez portion then bailing from there. All the fuel is probably not necessary but I don't want to divert for gas until I hit Ocotillo on the way out. You are welcome to share my extra gas if you you can't carry any.

If you can't get cans don't sweat it. I'm sure I'll have enough. If we top off at Julian gas station we should be covered.

i've been meaning to buy a couple anyway and this gives me the excuse i need.

i'll check in with bec when i get home tonight and let you know.

We need to be back to the El Cajon area to drop John off between 6 and 7 pm so it won't be too awful late getting home either.

i'm in and even managed to get a couple of cans from expedition exchange. i'll pm you my cell.

Excellent!!! I just read your PM. It will be some peace of mind to have another rig out there with us. A/C don't fail us now!!!

yea, looks like it's going to be a bit warm out there next week... come on winter...

Let me see if I heard this right. Ollie driving a toyota with John riding shotgun, with the intention of covering alot of ground. Seems I have heard this recipe before. Shall we stand by for the damage report?

Be careful--Regards, Steve

Steve,
In some ways, you are not right!!!

John,
You're never living that one down.
