  1. I was planning to do that run last year, but the trip fell through. I have the maps and guide books. While scouting the trail I encoutered some jeepers that had just finished - they had interesting stories. I would like to finish that run, but I am not a prerunner, just a slow poke.
  2. pilot #2 "pacer 16A landing 27right" bounce.bounce. bumpite bump.....(16A sitting in the weeds next to the runway) Pilot #1 "Now thats called being off in the weeds" ATC "You guys all right?" pilot #2 " "yhea were ok" ATC " do you want the runway or taxi in the dirt?" pilot#2 "we'll take the dirt" pilot #1 "we'll take the runway" ATC "16A hold position landing trafic" 16A holding ATC "16A you guys figure out where your going?" pilot #2 " 16a were going to the hanger, cross 27 right taxie vie bravo and charlie" .... you had to be there

  4. Will Splashette be coming with her lawnmower? The 'Red Baron' is in the shop right now getting the 6" lift w/38" All Terrains put on! Splashette I can't make it this weekend. I need to work on some things around the shop. steve
  5. Thoes pictures are better than most magazine shots! Thanks for the fun. I still can't believe the 4 door jeep went up that hill. Now I need to order more parts for mine.
  6. The rest stop at buckman springs road around 8 am Saturday would seem like a good choice.
  7. Saturday I was going caching along sheephead mtn road. Or maybe kitchen crick. If anyone wants to meet up, let me know. Steve
  8. I should be there. MTRP, Balboa Park, or both? MTRP - its at 6 am right. Its near my house. Then bear vally loop or corral canyon, buckman springs and caching out old 80 in my new truck. or balboa park - its just too hard to decide
  9. I'm up for a Bear Valley Loop trip. But, I have to stop for Buckman Mountain. I need six caches; you virgins have a pick of some 40+ . Sunday, 0600? Can you wait one week later so I can do it to? I am on call this sunday. If not have fun. OK then Sunday the 21 @600 am Thanks guys. I forgot that sunday the 21th. will not work for me cause I have a youth turkey event that morning in Escondido. So you guys stay will this sunday and I will get up there later. But thanks for changing the date for me. No worries. Besides, I forgot this Sunday is the Balboa Park Flash Event. My might hit MTRP at 0600 if anyone wants to join me and the girls. I should be there.
  10. 1st gen 4 runner. I don't know how to post pictures and I don't think my work computer allows that. I found it in a junk yard down by the Mexican border - towed it home and two months of repairs later, its trail ready.

  21. While on vacation my garmin vista x lost all its topo maps that I had downloaded. All that was left is the inaccrate base map. When I got home I removed the genuine garmin memory chip that cost about $120 and installed the chip I got at Target. I think it cost $19 for a 1GB camara chip. The garmin chip is 256M at $120. It works perfect and has a life time warntee. That means it will work until it breaks just like the garmin chip did.

  23. Do you have your 4WD Van with you? If not you should it sounds like you may need it. [/url] No VAN my brother has an SUV. The caches are a lot harder to find as the vegation is thick and well over my head. No trails to follow because the caches are found only a 4 or 5 times a year - often while riding snow machine.
  24. Hello from Northern Michigan. Hitting a few caches - following two tracks out in the bonnies, wading rivers and finding caches (no I'm not lost, see I'm right here). There are quite a few caches in the Pigon River Forest. Pictures to follow. shortwing
  25. Robyn We cached our way to Rawson Road entrance (GC160DZ) which would be a good meeting point. Bumpy road but lots of fun. There were two caches that we passed because we were not sure our former ChevyS10 could make it back up the hill. Some of the caches will take awhile to spot but the fun is in the search. Ya'll are gonna have so much fun! Watch for buffalo!! I would like to attend the Rawson Trail run. I can't make the Otay Truck trail as I already have ATV plans. Steve
