Kiwi Wayne 3 Posted March 31, 2017 @ 95% My eyes are mostly open again after taking out a big bush last weekend which turned out to be poison oak. It won! I plan on riding from El Cajon 10 am to be at trailhead at 12;00 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MacDuncan 131 Posted April 1, 2017 Hey governor, good rally up. Thanks. I am on emergency call this weekend and doubt your wilderness campsite has regular cell reception, unless you know otherwise. Unfortunately, also not confident with linking a satellite phone to regular cell. However, to get my bike fix, I still might ride out from El cajon just the see the camp spot and then back simply for a wander about. Anyone riding with SDAR Ham radios? Since overnight for me not likely, Maybe I should pack a few brews (or a wood log or two if you have a mini metal container) instead of tents/bags to leave at the camp site (if no emergency calls and I can make it out there). cheers. Wildwood, down to banner to oriflame still? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They serve some tasty suds, & I haven't been there in a while. And we can get gas. I was going to see what Kiwi Wayne was up for. I think we're going to hook up somewhere around Descanso @ 1:00pm This is both my knobby's last run, so a little more pavement is no big for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagstr 287 Posted April 1, 2017 Radio with me: 146.505 - Standard SDAR frequency Everyone appears to be on a different schedule. I will see a few at the trailhead @ noon. Everyone else @ the Top of Diablo. Those that are riding in from the north: If you know the area, you can ride in from the pavement onto Vallecito Wash near Canebrake, turn north on Tapiado and use the cut across to Diablo.

Kiwi Wayne 3 Posted April 1, 2017 Wildwood I am open to anything. Bringing 650L cause its good on street and has 6 gal tank. been down oriflamme plenty on it. I would think closest gas to trailhead would be Ocotillo on the 8 but its a bit of a boring slab over the hill. unless you planning on the shortcut which I guess would be back toward Julian? Pick a place to meet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kkug 146 Posted April 1, 2017 See you guys at the campsite. Heading out from Esco.about 2 PM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MacDuncan 131 Posted April 1, 2017 Ah heck, missed the wildwood train due to work, and may still need to be on call tonight. Regardless, I think I will still load the orange bike (for the first time), target Diablo Canyon from Gillespie Field, and unload as if to stay overnight, and then pack up as if I did. The practice will be good for this summer's Backcountry Discovery Routes. If I go to garage now at 1:20 and pack bike, ETD at 2 (Gillespie) and ETA (Diablo) before dark (might be a long ride home, but all good. I'll check just before 2 to see if anyone else had last minute thoughts to go. Cheers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
