Looks like I am going to need my camera and 64mb chip for this event!

Hey Scott-

I just want to confirm where we are meeting and what time (approx)?

Does anyone know if cells get a signal out there? I would like to get a couple of your numbers just in case...

Anyone else gonna have handhelds? How about CH4?

Thanks,
Christian

Looks like I'll need a full tank.
Those trails look good, hope the temps stay down. Last week it was around 95 everyday. Also, Roadtripr[Carsten] (went with me and Marc last time on Carvacre) wants to go I think and maybe my buddy with a Tacoma. Should be fun exploring.

Possibly, If we get an early start, I was planning on leaving Sun.
We could save some of the shorter trails for Sun morn- Calcite Mine is about an hour each way, longer if you explore the side canyons; Fonts point is really short, easy trip with a good view of Borrego Badlands at the end, about 30 mins each way.
What about Fri? What time are people showing up? I'm leaving sometime afternoon hopefully before 3pm.

I'll be leaving after work which will put me at arrive at the camp post sometime in the evening.

Looks like I'll be coming in blind as I've never been the campsite so you guys are gonna have to keep your radios/cells on so I can ask for directions if I get lost

1 more week!!!!

You probalby already know this, but just in case... When you're going from Font's Point to the Coyote Canyon trail head, I believe you can turn right (north west) at the Pegleg Smith turn and head west relatively directly to Coyote Canyon rather than going through Borego Springs. You'll want to check your map. You may have already known that, but if not, it'll save you time.

By the way, you usually can buy good grapefruit in town or around the orchards around Coyote Canyon. There's a cool place near Coyote Canyon where you can buy a whole variety of tastey dates, too. (I wish I knew which road. But you might ask in town where the date store is so you can drop by when you have the whole crew. Actually, you probably won't have time. Never mind...)

Sorry.

Guess I am not your guy... Trip would cost me about $500 for the skid plate unless you accept shipments...
