Ok ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls; it is that time again to start planning a new Semi Annual Meet and Greet!!! The last one in Big Bear was a blast and the need to get the tires dirty again is strong.
The dates of mid to late March have worked well so far for most members. So, with that said, lets have some suggestions of location. Calico is great for the hard core guys and fun for beginners/or stock rigs to explore the more mild terrain. Anza Borrego is doable for stockers with a tug or two and challenging for built rigs depending on the line chosen. I am open to other suggestions also. For potential locations, lets keep in mind that our group tends to be a bit large and rather noisy...:whistling:. For the time of year I am planning, a desert area will probably be more weather friendly than a mountain area, but I ain't skeered of a little snow if everyone else is up for it.
Well, lets have that input and get this event started. :dance:
It there are no objections, the event will be held the weekend of Friday, March 22 through Sunday March 24.
The rules for this event are as follows.
1) NO DRINKING ON THE TRAILS. This includes passengers as it is just too easy for someone to hand a drink over to the driver
2) First Aid kit on the rig within reach of the driver and others. In case of an emergency, we want to be able to help you.
3) Recovery points front and rear.
4) Fire extinguisher on the Jeep, again within reach of driver and others.
5) A spare tire within 2" of the size of tire on your rig.
6) A minumum of an A/T tire. Street tires stand a higher rate of failure on the trails.

He will be willing to lead an advanced group. The route will be up Odessa to Wall Street and return down Duran.

Also would like to keep the group to 15 jeeps to allow sufficient time.
