BASE CAMP & CAMPING

[rpraterxj]

Hey gang,

We will be based out of Serrano Campground again this year. It seems to have been good for the past several years.

Reservations can be made on www.recreation.gov We are planning to take over the loop with the sites 103 through 132.

We recommend making reservations ASAP.

Some of those spots are double and you can have 4 vehicles per, while others are regular spots and you can have 2 vehicles per spot.

Probably going to try to bring out both the XJ's and camp, worst case we can sleep in the back of the Jeeps. Besides sand dunes this would be the first time off roading.

Heh, well either way, the campground is just a hop, skip, and a jump from the motel. I guess I could lead you ALL the way out there. =)

[Carol.92124]

I'm reserved for Fri & Sat nights. I'll get there before midnight; other than that, who knows. Maybe even early afternoon. We'll see!

I built Sleigh II from stock to what it looks like today in four weeks all by myself and I have a regular job too, so you should be able to fix your junk in six weeks?......SANTA

[ryurabbit]

Yea but you have that whole see the world in one night time warp thing going for you!!! :lecture:

I have an ex-wife in divorce court, 2 kids that are mental, a house, 50-60 hour a week 1st job, 12-16 hour a week second job, a bible study group, a JEEP and a girlfriend. Makes me tired just typing it out.:gee:

All things being equal you guys dont: smell as good as the girlfriend, work on my house for free or pay any of my bills. Hell I wouldn't even be going if it were not for ICEHAWK as he has been helping me rebuild my junk. Of course that means I will be helping him as well, so I can add to the list "friends with JEEPS"!!!!:wow:

[FireFly]

#132 for me!!! nothing better than camping in a tent while freeing ur arse off haha

[Darky]

I rented a double, 127/128. I know I'll have my XJ up there and a friend may bring their CJ also, so I figured it'd be best to have the extra space. :D

[socal billl]

1 jeep,2 peeps site 86.

[ryurabbit]

I was not offended SANTA, I am just frustrated. It took me 2 weeks to get back to this thread!!! SHeeesh there just is no down time in my life right now.

Anyway, I need the weekend of JEEPING and It's just my jeep this time. I only have to worry and wrench on my own stuff.

Anyway, I always enjoy sitting around a campfire with you SANTA and I hope that I wont get coal in my stocking this year!!!! :bunny:

JohnX----------I need much more then jungle juice!!! You and I have some drinking to do in big bear!!!!

I know the feeling. I'm getting a 3 link, gears, D44, bumpers and sliders, and maybe new steering to install, and I'm worried if it'll all be done in time. Largely because I'm not sure when it'll all make it to my house. :D

You should document your adventure in getting your updates done before the fest!
But (from a guy who knows) you can get a lot done, very quickly, if your deadline is unrealistic!!

:D

[Junk Yard Dog]

MUSICIANS - Are any of you guys musicians? My buddy & I are going to be picking around the campfire @ site 125/126 if you want to join us. Don't bother responding if you pick your nose or play the CD or CB or any other stupid thing. Stop by & listen even if you don't play an instrument. Singers are certainly welcome as well. LET'S JAM!

[FireFly]

lol i play the trumpet, a bit of percussion too. MARCHING BAND FTW!!! lol

[Junk Yard Dog]

If we were mariachis it would fit right in. Unfortunately, there's not a lot of trumpet in bluegrass. Any guitar pickers out there?

[JohnX]

Dude, stay away from blue grass....it must have gone bad.

The CJ is out, but my brother in law may be coming. However, he drives an S10 Blazer, don't know if he'd be welcome...;)
He just has to get it running again, it's an 85 with the 2.8.

Standard answer: All are generally welcome, either to wheel or to provide winching practice :).

[Cherikon]

I just grabbed space 011- so I am probably not close to anyone of you guys, again, some more. Me and wifey will be there though. Jeep isn't running the new set up, but I will still have some fun.:cheers:

[boostamante]

im planning on attending this event. Bringing myself and my son. DOnt know if anyone one else will com with but im sure ill have fun. Looks like all the campsites near the loop are taken so the motel 6 might be where i stay. either that or drive home on saturday night. I'll see. I still need a CB radio, hi-lift jack and tow strap.

Awesome! There will be several folks doing the one-day trip. If you decide to stay over night, Motel6 is not a bad option. It is older and small. The rooms are clean. It works for a place to stay.

[Darky]

It's looking like I'll have an available site. I rented a double because I had 2 other vehicles planning on coming, then one got hurt and the other, our plans fell through, so it looks like it'll just be my XJ.

EDIT: I'm in 127/128, so if someone needs a space, I have one available, unless some miracle happens and my brother's ride gets fixed or my wife's friend suddenly gets healed. :)

I thought I would make a list of those that posted their campsite space numbers along with their screen names and real names.
Make any additions or corrections or add your real name if I don't know it (or forgot it...I'm getting old).
