BEAR Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 I was wondering if there was a list of proposed trips and dates for this year other than Shaver, Baja and death valley? I was just trying to plan for anything that sounds interesting. thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHappel Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 Nothing concrete other than the Annual and White Rock/Sierra trip. I'm thinking I may try to run a parallel trip to Chris' Sierra trip that would be a bit more adventurous/more trail time which would free him up to have a more relaxed family-oriented trip with a couple days in camp instead of being on the trail so much. Of course, that's just an idea at this point and I haven't actually sat down with a map and planned it out. I'm way behind on such things. I'm also planning to do a snow run for the Feb MORG, but need to decide on the actual destination. There's a thread working on that currently but I need to nail it down in the next few days.

DHappel Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 White Rock is our annual August meteor shower trip. Chris started this a few years ago and it's been very popular. Generally we do it in two stages; one for the guys who want to do more of an 'overland' style run (the Sierra Trek portion) where we leave the week before and one for the guys who can only make it in for the weekend (WRL portion) Since it's Chris' baby I won't speak for him regarding specifics but it's evolved a bit over the years. Last year on the Sierra Trek instead of moving to a different camp each night we stayed base camped for a couple nights between moves. This let the family guys take the kids and go play in a lake while the guys more interested in wheeling (me) got to go off and do some tougher trails. As always, we ended up at White Rock Lake where the weekenders came in to join us. I think Chris plans to do the Sierra Trek in this style again as it worked well. I'll look up some of the old threads and post links shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHappel Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 BTW, I'm just waiting for the snow to clear in the Sierras then we'll be doing the Rubicon again. We may do multiple groups depending on interest; maybe a 'Rubicon for Begineers' run and a run for more experienced guys. But hard to say when until the weather breaks. Also planning to run Deer Valley and Slickrock once they open as well, possibly as a 3-day/2-night back-to-back run starting at the northern entrance to Deer Valley off highway 88 and ending up at highway 4 after leaving Slickrock. Again, still to early to make solid plans. The Slickrock portion of this run is a good 'intro to rock crawling' sort of trail - tough enough to be a challenge but do-able by anybody with basic mods. Deer Valley is longer and tougher but still easier than the Rubicon. I need you guys to help chime in with what you'd like in the way of more moderate camping type trips and maybe jump in and lead a few if you can. I'm slammed into May and other than MORGs and DV don't think I have time to fit in much else right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lauroness Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 This is exciting! Everything sounds awesome. I think once I become more exp with trails, id like to helpOut leading some trips. I'm a big "camping" person so I could do more base camp style trips. But like I said, once I'm more comfortable leading. I still have a lot to learn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking some time in late August/early September, small group (4/5 rigs)I think we can accommodate that. I expect the trail won't open until late June at the earliest given our snow levels this year, but Aug/Sept will certainly be open. And crowded.

DHappel Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 Been talking amongst the Jeffersonians and we're tentatively looking at June 16-18 and/or 23-25 for our 'early' Rubicon run. I'll start a new thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco2Guy Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 Leg is doing ok. I was at Connor's yesterday doing some winch training in his yard. According to my iPhone I walked, well more like hobbled around, for .7 miles. Today I'm exhausted (thankfully not too sore) and stayed on the couch for the most part. I'm ready for adventures, just not sure when I'll be ready for them on the trail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DHappel Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 Gee let's see, a guy sets up camp next to the ocean w/o understanding how tides work? I know I'm a bit biased being a boater and all but I'd think anybody who lives near a coast would at least have a basic understanding of the twice-a-day cycle.
