Bagstr 287 Posted January 5, 2018 Edit: South Carrizo Wash ( at the Trees ) 0800 Wednesday As I feel an overwhelming need to speak, ( polite society not being receptive ) a tour of overlooks is in order. Each overlook to serve as a forum on the topic on one outburst directed at one individual. My hope is that this activity may serve as a palliative for my mental suffering. The concept is to express ( no yelling allowed ) my advice to a few needy individuals; express my thoughts to the horizon and hope for a coping inspiration derived from nature. You may or not want to join in this therapy, Please note these will be solitary conversations as opposed to group activities. You are free to have you own private conversation or simply enjoy the view. The Governor, sometimes known as Bagstr P.S. First choice is Tuesday Jan 9, but the expected rain may delay the date Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it does rain on Tuesday then Wednesday should make for an epic ride. Alas I am not available for enlightening next week. Headed east to explore the backcountry of AZ.

alyeska 50 Posted January 6, 2018 Rain would be nice in Borrego to pack down all the dirt from the holiday weekend, but unless it forecasts 100% it usually never happens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CVRick 42 Posted January 6, 2018 Bags, I will not make this week gosh darn it (possible rain). Starting next week I am planning 2 or 3 short notice days off in the next month or 2 to join the breakfast club or speaking tour rides with your crew. I really miss riding with your groups in the sandbox. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagstr 287 Posted January 8, 2018 Tools Tubes and Snacks, about 80 miles. Sand, Rocks, Gravel. "He" will not be with us. No Dogs on the trail please. Intermediate skills to be comfortable. But hey, happy to watch you try the challenge! Tents optional. Road to trees ( east from Hwy ) is easy 2WD quarter mile. On the trail about 0830, return 1:00 - 2:00pm. 30 minute Happy Hour on return to trucks. Thinking about east from Drop to Loop Wash then reverse west to Olla or Sandstone, Who knows?
