The plans are to meet at the AVI casino at 8:00AM on Friday the 3rd and head to our first camp spot at Piute Springs.. The next night will be spent at place I call Boulder point.. Its near Marl Spring.. The third night will be at Afton Canyon Camp or we can stay at Baker, in a nice comfy room and proceed the next day through Afton Canyon area.. That would give us more time to see a few things along the way.. There is much to see on the last stretch through Afton and the surrounding hills..
Its 400 miles +- to the trail head on the colorado river near Needles, Ca. the route is over 100 miles long. Return trip is about
300 miles.

What I mean by scouting- Im going to look at and drive a couple of possible trails for the ladies run for our spring fling bbq(see below). If any one is interested in going with me my plans are meet at the Rite aid parking lot at 9:30am in Atascadero . Going out hiway 41 to La Panza rd. to hiway 58 to red hill come in thru red hill. I think one of the trails is called benchmark. Then after scouting those 2 trails on to La Panza camp ground have a snack/lunch. Then head up pozo grade rd to Las Chicas over Las Chicas.

Its a allmost a full moon, so we are doing a night run. We will meet around 6.30-7.00pm at Pozo ranger station and head up Garcia Ridge.

Sat June 27th night run. Meet at Pozo ranger 7.00pm. Night Run up to end of Garca Ridge. We willl have a dessert type snack at the picnic table area.
contact Eric F. faley@sbcglobal.net Dusy/Courtwright/Voyager Rock,
The Idea is to provide a Sierras trip for every SLO 4-Wheeler, whether he base camps in a trailer, motor home, Pickup with a camper, or bobtail camps out the back of his 4wheeler.
The destinations would be base camp at Courtright Reservoir RV camp for the motor homes, Voyager Rock on Courtright East shore for 4WD full size pickups with campers and maybe fishing boats. On the trail camping, Dusy Meadow on the lake shore for 4wheelers that don't need to do Thompson hill and Thompson Lake for the short wheel base built rigs. Fishing at all four locations.
This trip could allow a great deal of flexibility for those not sure of their trail or rig. Lots of good places to camp when you discover your 4wheeler may not need the Thompson Hill challenge.
Could be done Friday- Monday or Friday thru Sunday
with some long days getting to Shaver Lake and returning to SLO county.
contact Randy P. rkp2@att.net
Tthe run after the meeting is a night run. We are meeting at 7.00pm at the Pozo ranger staion. Pulling out about 7.10 or 7.15 heading to Las Chicas via Turkey flats. We will stop at the top for an eveing snack or dessert. head down Las Chichas to Pozo grade road to Navajo rd. If time permits we will run Bench mark trail. and back out to Red hill rd and hiway 58.
contact Eric F. faley@sbcglobal.net I don't think my TJ is up for the task of Coyote Lake next weekend. Any club members that would be interested in doing an easy or moderate run on Sunday locally? I know of a good run at the the end of Huasna Road. It's mostly graded dirt with a steep, narrow, rutted portion at the end. It ends at an old WWII Observation Post (Avenales). This is the area where Agua Escondito Campground used to be. Its not too extreme and would be perfect for a picnic lunch with the family.
Several folks have expressed in this-Planned is an exploratory run Sunday -. I suggest we meet at the Arroyo Grande High School parking lot around 10 am on Sunday. That should give us plenty of time to get there before noon. I assume we will be taking a picnic lunch right? A full tank of gas will be more than sufficient.
check your emails. members thru the clubs elist or
contact Terrence. careunderfire@ charter.net One of the clubs premier runs to a beautiful primitive camp at a High Sierra lake. Some will go in Friday, some Saturday, with all coming out Sunday, (a few might spend Sunday at Red lake which is midway & come home Monday). Serious trail but doable by most (Full size rigs not reccommended) come prepared for a glorious weekend. Great wheeling-great camping/fishing hiking- group campfire at the end. Run same trail back out. There are outhouses in the camp, anything else (including TP) if you need it -bring it. Insure your rig is ready...Red Lake is half way to Coyote Lake with great camping/fishing for those who may have problems or dont want to tackle the remainder of the trail.
