2) According to DHSundance and Parsa the Palomar Divide road and High Point are passable in a 2WD.

I drove up the Palomar Divide Rd to the Tower Lookout in my Corolla this past summer. Yes, I grounded in a few places, but only 'cause I was rushing to get home. I wouldn't do it again, but it's doable - er, it was before the rains.

I am out for Saturday, but may make it on Sunday - early.

Did the Rangers say what time the gate opens in the morning? If not, please email me the # so I can call them. Thanks.

Wow, I used to read this thread to see where everyone was going caching in hopes of someday joining you...now I read it to see if Smilinglady13 and TrailGator are mad at each other. Can someone please fill me in? Are you guys just kidding? I thought you were caching buddies? I hope so. Everyone have fun where-ever you go.....I can't figure out where you're going or with who this week!!! We were gonna go to Hollenbeck but Cegrube's kitty cat has me too scared!!! jahoadi

I know I'm not a local anymore and this thread is for locals, but I have been watching it. IMHO - If it's talked about here, it should be open to anyone who wants to go! Otherwise plan it completely off-line from this thread. That's All. RM

P.S. - "Can't we all just get along?"

Edit: First of all, that person is going to McGinty already. Secondly, I am against behind the back planning that purposely excludes people. Let's call a spade a spade and be open and honest about the whole deal....Somebody took a cheap shot at me so I don't want to be around that person this week. Finally, there's nothing wrong with asking others to join me for an alternative outing from the McGinty outing. More alternatives is a good thing for many!

Hey Pat, can you repost what the plan is for Palomar tomorrow?

I was thinking about riding/caching Mission Trails but I've been wanting to do Palomar for a long time and MTRP can wait.

So, what's the plan for meeting, what time, and what caches were you hoping to go for?

Hi Toby, Since you are coming from Ramona. I would recommend meeting us at 9AM at 79 and Palomar Divide road. The Splashes are going to meet us there if they can make it. You may want to hookup with Duganrm and Rogue who are also coming up from Ramona. Several of us are also meeting at Nessie is Good Eats at 8AM but that would be out of the way for you guys. The map below shows the caches that we are doing.

* Please let me know where you will meet us so we don't wait in Fallbrook longer than we have to! :unsure:

Sounds good to me. I'll meet you at your recommened meeting spot at 9.

We're going out to the coast to do some caching as a family right now (that doesn't happen very often) but when we get back I'll load the caches in the area and be ready to go.

Richard, are you still going? Want to ride with me or do you want to caravan?

BTW, is that monolith still hovering over Palomar? We're not going to be beamed up anywhere are we?

See you guys, Jerry.

You just gave me an idea for the name of a new cache I might place out there tomorrow!

Did you see the description for San Diego caches? No one elses were described as "very nice".

Thanks Duganrm for dropping off a new container for Grey Matters. I was planning go to head up there with Snake & Rooster, but one of my daughters got food poisoning or something; she kept us up all night and messed up our bed .

What do I owe ya?

January 12, 2006

F.Y.I. The Flintstones aren't able to host the Feb. campout, so as for now, it's cancelled.

However, that doesn't mean that someone else can't do it!!!!

Any volunteers??????????

We may want to discuss with SKILLET.

He and I just received final notice that the San Diego County Geocachers have just Adopted-A-Highway along a two mile stretch of highway in the Ocotillo Wells area.

We could incorporate a CITO / Camp-out Event all into one....?

PassingWind

January 14, 2006

Let us know if you do a CITO event in Ocotillo wells. We have a great relationship with the rangers out there and I'm sure we would get their full support. I know Feb was mentioned as a possibillity. What dates? I can tell you right now that the weekend of the 11th will not work for us. I'll be comming back on a red eye from Honolulu. (business trip...I know, I know.....you're heart bleeds for me.) and then the San Diego Supercross is Saturday night at the stadium. :unsure:

Actually just now looking at my calendar.....the month of March would really work for us. And I would be more then happy to help organize/host the event. However, if you need to do it in Feb.....ya gotta do it. :blink:

Feb is a bad month for me myself. I know I'm just one person. :unsure:

Nope if you Cache your welcome and if not after this event you will be hooked.

1.3k · January 14, 2006

I have 7 acres in Ocotillo Wells ,1 block south of the Iron Door, What PW (Jason) and I had thought about was doing the CITO and then I would host the picnic at my place afterwards. IF anyone wanted to spend the night they could. I only have room for maybe 10 or so motor homes, but unlimited space for tents. If we made this an event, I wouldn’t want to turn people away because of no room. :unsure: I don’t mind opening up my place for an event. Or we could do the Camp out not far from the showers/restroom near the Ranger station. We could have two events, One a CITO and one a Campout. Any help getting this together would sure help. I agree some time in March would be better, the weather is usually better too. Any one else out there have any suggestions or wants to help. Team Geogeeks have added their support. :huh: :huh:

I think we decided not to post any events this weekend due to other things already going on.

Saturday is Bikedog's Memorial in the Elfin Forest.

Sunday is the SDGCC Monthly Meet, Greet and Swap!

To answer your question though, Rogue and I will be caching this weekend. Tomorrow morning we will be going up Eagle Peak and we still haven't decided on where to go Sunday.

We didn't post anything out of respect for Bikedog, his family and friends. Many of us didn't know Bikedog but our thoughts and prayers are with him, his family and his friends today....

What is this?? Nothing being planned for the weekend?

I'm going to Pasadena for the next three days, but when I get back I expect to see something going on here!

How's this for advance notice: The first weekend in Feb. I'm thinking of doing some caches with Kawikaturn in MTRP by MTB if anyone wants to ride along.

GCPTYV, GCR9RA, GCRDK0, GCRCDE, GCR9RJ, GCR9RQ and GC183D. (Maybe more, maybe less; depends on how pooped-out I get.

Dan-oh has a new cache coming out soon. The gauntlet has been laid down! Sounds intriguing! I know it's for only one but it's gotta beat finding 10 LPCs!

I was suggesting that for Superbowl Saturday. Sunday's are bad for me because my son has hockey games every Sunday.....except for Superbowl Sunday!

Have you ever hiked up Gower? I really want to do that one before it gets hot!

Did you try it when it was too hot? I was looking at the coords that Flagman and Ruscal posted using Google Earth. I don't think the bushwhacking would be as bad this time of year but it looks like a good cardio workout. The Gunn Stage approach looks a lot longer but it also looks a lot more gradual....

Here is a topo that RM plotted when we were going to do it last May.

He said it was 2.1 miles each way with a 1052 foot vertical gain.

I wonder why somebody didn't put a cache up on the peak? Maybe it's a real bear to get to.....

The other caches I want to do out there are the 3 Sisters Waterfall cache, 3 Sisters Photo cache and Penny Mine.

There's also ''...on top of the world , ma ...'' on Gower. It could be a two-fer.

My son and I tried to ride our bikes up from Gunn Stage. It was too hard so we turned back.
