I would love to but I can't yet. I hope to be able to go out with you guys on some easier hikes during Xmas break. Can you believe that I haven't found a cache since the Big Bear event almost 3 months ago! Slacker! I agree...Slacker!!! I put a 1/1 on the Strand. We could push you in a wheel chair to that one!!! (I hope the healing /therapy is going well Pat) Thanks. I'm walking with a brace and the help of Vicodin but I'm slow. It was my first day back at work since the surgery. They called me the Bionic Man at work today. I have 4 more weeks of PT and then the brace comes off for good! I was just thinking.. I bet your still faster than me..

Hey Pat, Do you want me to bring by some cache logs for you to sign? TA

Go to the San Diego Event thread. That's agood place to maybe find someone planning to do something. Yep! Here is the link. Welcome to caching! Ditto to what they said. TA

My work seems a little unpredictable right now for the weekend. It appears that I have to be there Sunday which is right in the middle of multiple 4x4 adventures! Why! Anyway, I hope everyone has a great time. I will have to do these runs and hikes another day.

We are planning on walking the Pushawalla Sunday Nov.11th.. Darn, your going out a week earlier then us. Let me know how it goes? We will let ya know how it gos for sure! we have done walked some of the other trails in the area and loved it!About half way we are wondering where the guys on the tricycles are! [] I thought you post was for the 11th? My work changed some downtime, so I can now make the event, but am trying to get the Sunday watched so I can campout. TA

After researching your post, this loop looks tempting too. Only I'd have to do it Sunday & Monday. Do you have anticipated beginning and end coordinates for each of the trails? I am trying to visualize the runs. TA Pushawalla (which is the Power hiking trail - 5 mi) is located across from It's well Preserved(GC109B3) @ N 33° 50.316 W 116° 18.468 - On GC.com you can see the caches - Like 30+ Bradshaw north point (off the 10) would be near Happy Meal McCache(GCE264) @ N 33° 36.657 W 114° 54.048 Bradshaw southern point (near the Salton Sea) would be near The BRADSHAW TRAIL #1(GCMDJT) @ N 33° 30.350 W 115° 45.943 Camping Sunday Night might be near The BRADSHAW TRAIL #25(GCMDMB) @ N 33° 29.449 W 114° 53.285 Zoom in on Google Earth and you'll see it (BLM's - Wiley's Well Campground) Box Canyon is a road through the area starting near Dump HERE(GC11AHE) @ N 33° 34.373 W 115° 59.816. This heads north back up to the 10 Fwy. Sorry, I'm not as savy as some of the other cachers in the forums that can put links in their post. This is great information. Hmmm, a 5 mile hike. I will have to look at the elevation for that one. I will look at the the waypoints your mentioned. It will give a good idea of where I will be and where to do a pocket query. Thanks - TA

It's a common nickname for "Jesus". Why is that anyway? (I already said where mine was from)

There is an event up north there is a group doing 4x4: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...42683&log=y I may not be up there on the 10th until the night or the 11th. I am planning on camping out and 4x4'n over the holiday weekend. There is also discussion happening on this thread: http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=176750 Just a heads up while the weather is still nice to be in the desert. TA

Very interesting! I still have not received my 'application' for team !! Maybe you submitted your request to the wrong team. Shouldn't you be part of team ? ? That's funny! Hmm.. Team Adelos? or Adelos?

Great idea Tom! The event is a great place to collect things. Paul Since we are on the subject, has there been any word of other cachers that lost their home?

And this means.....

I also live in North San Diego County so I know what you mean about the drive. My plan was to camp at the Wiley's Well Campground which is at the North end of the trail and work back to the Salton Sea. The campground don't have water so that makes them more of a primative type. If their full, the BLM website say you can camp within 300ft of the trail except in designated wilderness areas. Another cacher told me it was about 4 hrs to do the Bradshaw trail. Can someone else confirm that? I'm thinking with the time change, maybe a 8am start. The book I have shows 4 hours for the trail. That excludes geocaching which can greatly increase the time. I may be up the for the weekend and this is a trail I have also wanted to knock off my list. It may have to babysit my work servers during some power testing on Saturday, but if it gets rescheduled, I plan to be up there all weekend and also be at the event. If not, there I may go there Saturday night and stay till Monday. Paul

Nicely put.

How about this path? Will this route work? It seems that 78 is open from Julian to Ramona and 67 is open to Ramona. If the section of 79 (from the link) is open, that would cut 1 hour from our drive.. Can anyone confirm this path would work? Otherwise we just have to drive longer. TA

Here is a Google link where you can change your source address to route to around via the earlier directions. Route to Desert We also saw that Ramona opened up. If 78 or 79 open up, then we will take that way. Unlikely though. We should be up there around 8pm to setup camp. Less people mean we have a better chance to win the contests. Of course, we would prefer to see everyone and understand if others can not make it. TA

We are still planning to go! I do have a question though. How do you get to S2 if that part of 8 is closed? Couldn't you take 8 to Japatul Rd/Japatul Valley Rd then up to 79 to banner? TA

GREAT TO HEAR FROM YOU! SlabyFam Glad to see everyone checking in.. and safe. Has anyone heard about anyone loosing their home? TA

Ah, free enterprise at its finest! Incredible!

Very cool how you can do that.. thanks for the walk though. It is amazing how big this fire has gotten. TA

Hey J&J, The news just showed one of your neighbors not wanting to leave because he had over 40,000 mice in their house! Hope those don't get loose. Good news is that they said each house and an engine while the hill side below burns out. TA
