CALICO NEW MOON RUN

Ken (IMORTL) and I will be meeting at Calico on Saturday, May 27 @ 8:00pm, on the highway in front of the main entrance. We will be running the Calico loop at least once. There is a bypass at the entrance of Doran should we decide to start the loop there.
There will be a new moon so it will be DARK! Bring lights unless you have cat vision.

Participate at your OWN RISK, scorpions and venomous snakes are nocturnal this time of the year in this region. There will probably be an assortment of other creepy-crawly things skittering about, as well.

Expected low temp. ~62°

We will begin the run on CB channel 4.

THIS IS NOT AN OFFICIAL NAXJA

RUN.

Required equipment: All rigs MUST have the following:

First aid kit

CB radio

Front and rear tow points

Full size spare

Jack and lug wrench

Fire extinguisher

Spares and tools for your own repairs

Tow strap **no metal hooks**

Properly secured battery (no bungies, coat hangers, etc.)

Properly functioning seat belts for all persons in the vehicle

Flashlight w/ fresh batteries

Drinking water

THIS IS NOT AN OFFICIAL NAXJA

RUN.

Recommended equipment:

3” lift

Rocker protection

Slid plate(s)

30” tires

Limited slip differential

Sturdy boots

Flashlight for each person in vehicle

Extra batteries

Dress in layers

Hat or knit cap

THIS IS NOT AN OFFICIAL NAXJA

RUN.

All those who wish to join us will be doing so at their own risk and will be solely responsible for any and all persons and property that arrive with them.

Post here if you will be joining us.

:compwork: Web wheelers are welcome as well, although, you will need to supply your own satellite up-link.

Nice smile you got there. Do you floss?

Kejtar said:
... you bastards!...

That may very well be true, but don't act like we killed Kenny.

Get your priorities straight or blame it on the moon.

Judging from what I've been able to read...

...there is a good chance, a very good chance.

I would like to run up Doran, including the lower section and then come down Odessa. Eat "lunch" and then head back up Odessa and then down Doran. The last few times I've been out there, I came down Odessa. Each time it looked more and more interesting to run "up". With the exception of the entrance at lower Doran, I think it has as much or more to offer heading up towards Bismarck Mine.
BTW, if John finds any more Fords stuck in the snow, he's on his own this time.

Odessa actually seems to be more fun to run nowadays then Doran (with the exception of the entrance) but here's a different spin on it. One of these days I want to run through the entrance in the opposite directaion as that might be a blast too

Why, oh why do I bother? Yes G, it is. It is officially not an official NAXJA

event. Now it's my turn to ask a dumb question. Are you going to be there for this run, on time? Oops, that was two.

:kissyou:

I do owe you a night run. Not going to lie about that. I do have a good excuse though. The wife is coming back on Thursday from being in China for three months. I will be spending every waking moment with her for the next couple of weeks so if she is up for it (which I highly doubt) and the jeep pinion yoke and leafs are done, I may show.

:wave:
