Calico Run

[Kejtar]

The annual unnoficial run: Jan 26 through 28. I just made the reservations for the snorehouse so if you are interested in crashing there it's $5 per person per night and byoep (bring your own ear plugs ;) )

[4xSanta]

How about some more info on this?

Just mark off those dates...Calico is always a good time.

Calico Ghost town is a little north of Barstow on I-15.
The town itself...

Oops... I didn't even think abotu that I was thinking that the question was about logistics :D That's what I get for spending too much time at work today.

Yup, Calico in winter time is a blast. Every year we're out there we wheel all day Sat, part of the day Sun and have a big campfire @ the bunkhouse Fri and Sat night. Bunkhouse can sleep quite a few people and the minimum is 12 (@ $5 a person) so mark the date and make sure your rig is trail worthy :D

Gimme a bunk

[Kejtar]

Gimme a bunk
if you promise to bring with you a set of spare control arms for yourself (doesn't matter what you're going to be running.. just bring spares!) :D Oh yeah.. and no box wine allowed ;)

[GSequoia]

Control arms are overrated.

And if it were boxed it would've been easier.... Aparently you don't remember the incident of the stuck cork ;)

[Captain Ron]

Did we do this run last year?

I don't seem to recall anything about it. :D

long arms break axles. You DONT want to be behind me.

Aaron

SPOBI.

Aaron, you should know, rear axles break all by themselves. Now on the front, it's common knowledge that with longarms, you can run 40's or bigger on a D-30. Lastly, I "DONT" want to be behind you because I've seen your welds. :D

[slowrider]

I'll be there ( probably in the new truck) but I think I'll skip the bunkhouse this time.

[ryurabbit]

Hey the Rabbits gotta hibernate once in a while, besides I have been beating and shooting things lately which has been way more fun then breaking and wrenching BEFORE you finish the trail!!!

The rocks need more green paint, they're starting to turn brown again. :D

[4xSanta]

I don't no much about this bunk house but if it's not to late count me in for one bunk and I will keep that date open.

[stevenstorbakken]

I'm in for my first Calico run.
Rented a cabin for the weekend so I won't have to bring ear plugs. Just me and one son. Looking forward to my first XJ event, but only if I survive Dusy Ershim next weekend!!!!

When I get back I'll have to count how many are set for the bunkhouse already. At this point I'm looking for 5 bunks myself (I'm getting fatter and fatter during my vacation :D )

That should only mean you will need to bring extra pillows, not need extra bunks. You may however, end up needing a second bunk to form a "T" to fit all the pillows, though.

:D

The annual unnoficial run: Jan 26 through 28.

Jan 26th, 2007 is a Friday. Is the plan on running anything on Friday? Or is it just the day to arrive if one is camping at Calico?

It's the arrival date :D

[tgregg]

Is the normal way these deals are done....ARRIVE Friday evening, wheel Saturday, BBQ or campfire Saturday night and then head home Sunday morning? I'm going to Johnson Valley in November and was thinking the main event was Sunday, but this sounds like Saturday and so does the conversation for November. Could someone set me straight?

You got it! Except on Sundays, some folks try to get some more wheeling in before heading home.

Saturday is usually the "big day".

[GSequoia]

Yes, the activities on Sunday are directly related to how many parts we've broken on Saturday and the amount of alcohol we consumed on Saturday night ;)

Maybe in your case.... cause the rest of us wheel no matter what :D

[ryurabbit]

Last year, Sunday, we found a cool little trail out behind the mudhills and it had a rock formation entrance that was way more fun then lower doran. I broke a lot of parts on that one.:bunny:

[tgregg]

I have been to the RV park at Calico but I don't know where the bunk house is. Since I will bring our motorhome what is the situation logistically? I don't care about hookups, just a flat place to park the M/H and Jeep trailer.

It is literally right next to the CValico ghost town. You can't miss it. You can totally bring your M/H camper.

[4xSanta]

I need to make a reservation for a cabin where the "bunkhouse" is located anybody have e-mail address or phone number for this place?

[Gerr]

yup gota make a reservation for us to have a spot with hookups

Sorry, I think this cold weather is slowing my processor and I'm running half steam.

The bunkhouse is located to the right of the entrance road into Calico. Your cheapest bet would be to get an overflow spot (the camping area to the left of the entrance)

Suppose I should read the whole thread but....
What trails do you do there? Which trail, which day? I'm thinking of showing on Sat. morning. Which trail for that day?

Trails will vary on trail conditions and attendance. I can promise that there will be lower doran entrance Carnage on Sat. Otherwise then that, there will be something for stock, nearly stock and built.

[4xSanta]

All cabins are booked at this time so I will camp out at campground #2 space #2 for friday/saturday,don't like staying in motels in Barstow I want my junk to be there untouched when I get up in the morning. Put me in on BBQ or? for saturday night.

[Kejtar]

More info:
1. We will have a BBQ Sat night (not sure what yet or how much $)
2. I think there are still spots at the bunkhouse (I will get a quick count done in a day or two and confirm with the other people who reserved).
3. Trails? Something for everyone: easy, medium, hard (not much but the hard part will be pretty hard).
4. Friday night I recommend the ghost tour @ the ghost town (info I believe is located on their webpage: www.calicotown.com)

[Gerr]

Just made reservations at the Oak Tree Inn, next to I-15, 3 miles from the Ghost Town. Gonna avoid the snore house this year. :)

How much was the room?

[johnnyc]

$75 per night. But divided by three people, it's not too bad.

Plus it includes free breakfast at Peggy Sue's Diner.

Well it either means you and Holly OR some other strange freak of nature was talking to me about it today. Either way Holly is invited in her jeep :)

anyone know if A-1 has enough area to park a tow rig with car trailer, 2 xj's and a tent trailer? I probably should have asked when I made the reservation

[erikwylie]

Just checkin!!!

It's Artis i think. I had to pull her name from the rear of the skull in Moab but spelling is a little hazy there.

I have never ran Calico before. Im interested and think I could do it. I need to check with wife and child before i obligate my time.

[GSequoia]

It's always fun to stand back and watch somebody saying "I KNOW your name... Damnit what is it.... I knwo it's not common...."

:cheers:

[99xjache]

Dinner will be Tri tip, Baked Beans, Bread, and Ardis's famous Salad, with rasberry vinagette, walnuts and cranberries. You bring your preferred drink. Cost: all you can eat, 7 bucks.
From last years dinner thread. It was gooooooood!
