san diego memorial weekend

so is anyone actually going to be doing a local one day no camping run that weekend?
i would like to do In-Ko-pah, or carveacre(never been...) or corral canyon as a last resort(kinda bored of the place)

anyone? I'm too lazy to drive far, the desert is too hot :cry:
the traffic coming back from mexico will be hell that monday.

Mike

I will keep an eye on this because I want to do a day run in one of those locations myself. Just not sure how that weekend will go so far. I do know that Sunday is out of the question for me. Sat morn would be cool. I would be down with Carvacre again even though it was the last run we did. It was pretty fun!

I'll check back in on this in a few days.

Sat morn might work for me, I'd like to run carvacre again. It is a fun run, even if it was the last one you did, there is always something you can try to make it harder if you want.

you're always partying, mike

I'd be down for this run if I hadn't already made plans to go to Big Bear the same day.

Miller Jeep trail is big fun. I did it in my 99 Taco. It just keeps going up for a long A## time. Nice trail in a wooded area. It was a TTORA run and we drove up in the AM did the run and came back down to SD all in the same day. I was a tired dude.

I really hope to make this.

i've been all over that area on motorcycles and it looks like a fun truck trip, but i would definatly be camping, i hate driving tired

Carveacre, sat 27th, around 9:30ish
Hopefully someone who knows the trail will be there, i dont know exactly where it is

yes you can roll, but no you cant get directions to carveacre from me. I actually have no idea how to get there if no one comes along who knows the way we'll have to go somewhere else like corral or inkopah...Miller Jeep is up in gorman...i need to finish up some mods befor i tackle that one, rear suspension needs to get done, trac bar and belly pan hope to be done by new yearsLOL

9:30 sounds good. I guess I'm the only one who knows how to get there so far??
Just to make it clear for the guys in Orange-
We're meeting at a Carls jr on Tavern rd exit off of the 8 east fwy, in Alpine, CA(SD county)
After that jumping back on 8 east for about 10-15 mins to the 79 interchange exit.

I think if we don't mess around too much or have any issues, this run usually takes around 3+ hours. My personal record for just mobbing straight thru is 1hr 45mins, but it was in alot better shape then, not as many deep ruts.

You know, you don't have to get back on the 8 after you meet at Carl's Jr. Making a left out of Carls Jrs and continuing straight will lead you to carveacre. I'll be going on this one if no one wants to go on my Big Bear trip.

Sorry Ryan to bail out...but yah the backroads off tavern are actually pretty quick and not to bad of a drive.

The trail is a little technical in some spots not too bad. If that is your truck in the avatar you "shouldn't" have any problems...
