San Diego Cache Events

[+SD Rowdies]

Watch "Lonesome Dove" again and see what a Texan will do when his partner dies.

You mean like letting the birds nibble on poor ol' Gus?

 

P.S. That is one of my all-time favorite books.

Yeah, let birds nibble on him and then drag his carcass from Montana to Texas on a travoi.

Spring CAMPOUT Nothing fancy here. but a good time will be had.

[+dhsundance]

Since the weather may not be cooperating for another go at MTRP this weekend I'd like to head out to Ocotillo Wells. Skillet has blessed us again with an enormous number of new caches.

 

The cache run I'd like to do is to head out to the Jet Engine cache. Anybody who'd like to join me is welcome. I will probably head out around 7am from the Rancho Penasquitos area.

If anyone wants to go halfs ($100) on a Pop-up tent trailer, for the CITO camp-out event, let me know. I'll haul it there; shoot, you can carpool with me and Ginger! if you want. We're planning out heading out there Friday early afternoon, Lakeside to Ramona to Santa Ysabel to Borrego Springs to Skillet's place, and departing Sunday noon'ish.

Is anybody interesting in hiking in Spring Canyon Saturday morning? I'm not an early bird, so I would prefer to meet at the trailhead on Mast blvd around 9AM. I'm still rehabbing my knee so I can't go nuts on distance, but I plan on hiking 6-7 miles roundtrip. Anyhow, let me know!

Here is a recent photo of Splashette looking at the poppys in upper Spring Canyon.

Not nuts.. only 7 miles?

 

Glad to see you getting out again... I can't make it myself, but sounds like a nice hike.

The logs I've been reading show that most people have been hiking 8-13 miles when they do that area. Actually Harmon said what I want to do is only about 6 miles. So at a leisurely pace that shouldn't be too bad at all.

Those longer mileages come from hiking the ridges. Make sure to reset your GPS odometer

at the parking lot.

Just saw on the news that there are two mountain lions in MTRP. As close as the visitor center loop, so be careful. They said if you see one do not run and make yourself look large by putting up your arms above your head. Have fun.

The ladies will not be anywhere near the visitor's center loop. They'll be a few miles SE of there behind Grossmont College.

 

But thanks for the heads up; I still have several to grab up by the dump.

[+SKILLET]

We be Jeepin' GC19WPG

 

 

The start point for the run is about 11 miles up S2 from the 8. Because the Ramona Café is small and after talking with the Splashes. Those South County folks that want to save some time and gas we will be meeting at the Denny's on Los Coches Rd at 0630 and then convoying out to the starting point for the run , meeting the other group there about 0900.

 

Please post a note here as to where you will be going for Breakfast so the Splashes can tell the Ramona Café how many will be there.

I survived! I actually found a tiny bottle of Tabasco sauce in one of the caches and so I traded for it! My hike ended up being a little over 6 miles and ~1000 feet of vertical. It was a beautiful day!

Hah! Janie and I saw that well-aged bottle of Tabasco. She made the same remark about being

able to find Tabasco along the trail in case of attack from Mountain Lions. Would a Mountain Lion

wait for you to sign a Geocaching log before attacking? If not would it still count as a find?

 

At least now everybody will believe me about using Tabasco to ward off Mountain Lions, it worked

for you by golly. ... hot stuff in your pants pocket is a good thang.

Two trips ago, when I knew I'd be alone, early in the morning, I took this Tabasco sauce with me. It is indeed good to have something hot in your pants--just in case. It doesn't taste good, but it is effective.

 

 

[+Chuy!]

Sunday 7AM hike to Viejas Mtn.

Primariy cache: Tax Freedom Cache.

Best place to park: N32 51.400 W116 44.530 - you need an Adventure Pass.

 

The webpage says to call the Forest Service to see if the trail is open. I called and they say they don't maintain that trail. And the person answering the phone wasn't sure if an Adventure Pass is required; the webpage says yes.

 

I have room for two and have an extra Adventure Pass. Meet at Lake Jennings park n ride, N32 50.765 W116 52.875 @ 0630.

 

1.5 miles each way with about 1600 elevation gain.

Change of plans.

 

Since no one responded they can make the Viejas hike, I will proceed to MTRP for an FTF attempt at Paaayday atop kwaywaay Peak.

 

I will go to Lake Jennings park and ride regardless at 0630 and proceed from there to MTRP and park across from the campground at N32 50.341 W117 02.050. Should be there by 0650. TripleCrown is in for this hike; we will wait till about 0700 then hit the trial.

When I got up at 0600, I realized I hadn't "sprung forward"; it was actually 0700 .

 

Met up with Triple Crown at 0745 and still grabbed the FTF .
