It's either gonna be New York, Philly, or Hollister, I just need to hear back about the first 2 before I can make the "definite maybe" an "almost probably."

That's not a hard choice!! I put you on the list. Hope you make it....

 

[JeniorNV]

That's not a hard choice!!

I thought the same thing. Hollister. Duh.

I'm going to have to call in some favors and twist some arms myself. This run with you guys will be my third camping trip this month!

We are looking at a late friday night arrival. New ideas for using the dutch oven as an oven. Some field testing and data collection after trail runs are needed. The dutch is a bit small- 1 qt unit. Ahh, field testing and shake down runs.
Poison oak is sprouting so, be cautious.

Glad to hear you folks are coming friday. This is a good time to remind everyone to bring some alcohol wipes, available at Safeway. The PO is in FULL BLOOM and the oil will stick to your rig and anything else it touches.

16 days to go!

It sounds as though the BEAST will be joining us for a shakedown run! I cannot wait to see it in person.

R00/Maktruk 110% confirmed for Thursday AM. I'll try to snag as much space at Sycamore as I can, I'm bringing the popup so I can snag a lot lol

That being said, is there a particular spot in Sycamore you guys prefer? I'll try to setup near it. As I recall there's a couple pullthru type spots as you roll in...?

Grab the spot right in front of the bathrooms on the right after you enter Sycamore Camp. We have been taking that entire area that has 2 fire rings and 2 tables each year. There are additional sites across the road as well.

Any updates on the maybe's? Please bring firewood if you have access to some.

Anyone else interested in joining us??

I'm now a strong maybe, I hoping to get my truck back this week. Apparently I completely f'd up my diff and front right hub/bearing... I'll take pics when I visit my mechanic...

 

[R00]

I got firewood covered!

Sorry, I'm still tentative. East coast travel still a possibility and besides that now I've got to finish a little project on the truck before she's dirt-worthy...I'll update as soon as I know more.

 

[JeniorNV]

My parents are out.

I haven't been able to confirm with Rob whether he's coming but I'm guessing he's out too.

Super excited to see crewmaxxis's revamped rig in person.

As of now, there is rain in the forecast for Wed and Thu. :-/

 

[BCBrian]

Sorry to hear that your folks can't make it.

There is a slight chance of rain on wed and thu.... all that will do is knock down the dust.

1 week to go!!

From the Hollister Hills website: HUDNER RANCH CLOSURE - Due to extensive off-trail driving, Hudner Ranch will be CLOSED until further notice! [Posted 4/6/16]

Too bad this did not happen about a year ago.....

While it is raining here in the Santa Cruz mountains, none of this precipitation is making it to HH. To check current conditions click on this link: Gran Prix track weather station

The Gran Prix track is located right next to the Upper Ranch. This station records real time rain fall amounts each hour and shows the statistics for the previous week.

I got firewood covered!

Okay, so maybe not *totally* covered. That's about 1/3 truck bed. If everyone brings a typical "bundle" to augment my pile we should be good for days!

 

[JeniorNV]

I won't have a lot of room but I usually try to bring at least a couple bundles. My friend will probably bring some firewood as well.

If you follow HH on Facebook you can see the damage that was done by some fools driving off trail. It's really a shame, Hudner has some really cool spots. That being said, even Jesse (Off-Road Recovery) won't go into Hudner Ranch anymore. It's got a lot of really sticky spots.

So, enter Sycamore, bathrooms are on the right. You want the sites on right side of road, just before bathrooms? Did I read that correctly?

That is to say, you want me to park where that wheelchair is

 

[BCBrian]

Here are a couple pictures to clarify but yes.... put your trailer in front of the bathrooms, about where the wheelchair symbol is on the map.

Will do my best, Sarge
