I'm actually in Squaw Valley (not the ski resort) right now staying with a friend. I might get a hotel or something that night. Not sure, just going to roll with the punches.

Fresno area is still quite a haul. Mojave will be the closest town but not the most hospitable. All depends on how you feel after the run. I am actually driving 135 miles to the trailhead but I am quite used to it.

If you want, I can wait for you in Mojave at the Chevron station. I should be there around 8:30. I will also PM my cell number.

Well, as it turns out Black Friday *IS* a company holiday so I am definitely going (barring unexpected truck issues)

It's been forever since I was out in the desert so I am really looking forward to this!

Sweet! It has been a while since we wheeled together. LCC has changed a lot this year so expect some new challenges. I am assuming Heather is joining you. I have some other people that would like to bring their female counterpart but they don't want to be the only "girl".

The secret is to keep the trip hrs unsaid lol...just be like "hey you, you coming with me wheeling !!" And if she asks her where at or why Then Just be like. "To the mountains, and because that way I can drive in the carpool, plus it would be more funner with you" that's it the very last part is just reassure you'll seal the deal. XP lol jk

Make sure you top off the tank in eith Kramer Junction or California City. I assume you are taking the 395/15 way up there. If you take 14, top off in Mojave.

I guess then I'm lucky I got a wife who likes the out doors and everything that comes with it...or she is a man lol XP. Not but seriously, she gives me more crap if I don't take her with me and I leave her behind than if I take her with me...which in a way it gives me leverage in case she gets mouthy about the trip. I'll be like "sweetheart you wanted to come...so shhhh". Lol

Well, we typically meet in Santa Clarita at the McDonalds at the 14 and Golden Valley road at 7:30 and then proceed to Mojave, getting there around 8:30-8:45, depending on the pace.

I strained my back something fierce yesterday while changing out a broken diff mount. I am hoping to be well enough before this trip. I will keep everyone up to speed here.

Owlxxx knows the trails up there quite well so you will be in good hands.
