I'm throwing together a (sort of) last minute thing for this Sat the 18th.
We'll meet at Whiskey Pete's gas station parking lot at 0830AM - go to Vanderilt - Continue to base of Spirit mountain - Anyone that "GEO-CHACHE'S" (AND "HIKE'S" there's "SUPPOSED TO BE(?))" a "CACHE" at the Spirit Mountain Radio Repeater site.. Don't hold me to everything I've put here because I have TO give this RUN an "EXPEDITIONARY" status BUT RATE THE TRAIL A MAXIMUM OF 2. This will be an ALL DAY trip so bring something to eat!!![/b]

Thanks for the run today. Even though we didn't make to everything, I had a blast.

SPECIAL(!) THANKS to all for the run on Sat. - And if the 3 DEER, could read THANKS to them also.

With "EVERYONE" chipping in with their special areas of expertise, it turned into a variety of area & knowledge not normally encountered. That part of the Mojave Road between Ivanpah & Fort Piaute was a special treat.

Great Day in the Dirts THANKS to Scuba Steve, Rubicon Bob, Wes, Bryan, Tony & my rider Saby.

Were you able to plan a club run out of it?

No Gary - No Club run - Just left it at Fun run AND HAD FUN!
Didn't get to Spirit on that one - Did the Mojave Rd From Ivanpah
to Ft Piaute and it got dark on us - will wait until you can join us for Spirit maybe and share your wealth of knowledge! Let us know when??

I just wondered if it was considered capable of being a "club run".

I know Steve's got the Alamo Mapping March 4-5 and I might be going on a scouting run with Brad and Rubicon Bob after the following week after Nextel Cup IIRC. Maybe we could sneak it in that weekend on a Saturday. Once racing starts, my Dad becomes a recluse :wink: Depending on the when the March Club run is, we could shoot for a weekend then. Might be sort of a last minute deal.




Plus I'm still in the midst of my lift. Seems some parts didn't get sent that were supposed to :roll: And why doesn't anyone carry STEEL degree shims!?!?!?

Brad would be a good person to ask about the "Steel Degree Shims."

As far as being a club run, what we did was a lot of sage brush and desert but Ft. Piaute and Vanderbilt was neat. I would only rate it at a 2 (max) and it wasn't too "brushy" - At least Wes didn't think so with his Grand.

My email is "diclb90145@earthlink.net" & my phone # is 363-5595 - Lets talk about the dates when we could get to Spirit. That really interests me.
And I also plan on going to Alamo on March 4 & 5th. if I can help with the trails with Scuba Steve.
