When do you fly out? There might be time to slip some wheeling in..

Either way I'll be around this time, and can drag you out to the pub of choice.

ok so I got my travel times

I get in around midnight wednesday night so that day is shot. Thursday I have my grandmothers b day party so its a no go. Friday and saturday are open to suggestions so if cold beer or a small wheeling trip can be arranged (or both lol). I fly home early sunday morning so super late night saturday is out of the question lol.

Yall throw some ideas my way and start planning.

That would equal wheeling + beer = :party:

cal
March 23rd, 2009, 09:44
That was kind of my thought.

Although, I'll be in truckhaven the weekend prior too, so I gotta be carefull not to break my junk.

Was it windy down there?

cal
April 6th, 2009, 10:23
No. No wind, no sand, not hot, not cold, no people, no insects, no smell of the sea.

It was perfect, we didn't bother to wheel. We camped back in a canyon up palm wash a ways and spent the entire time just lounging.

What about Yuengling? I had some of that when I was in NC a few months back and it rocked my world. I loved that stuff but they won't distribute it west of Tennessee! Can you bring me a case? Just kidding...

If no one else is going to commit:

Stadium Tavern in Fullerton.

7pm.

Its central to OC/LA/SD, good parking, and for some reason, doesn't get crowded or too loud on Saturday nights.

Also, people who get too drunk to drive can crash on my dads front yard. ;)
