Yeah, I'm going to try to make it later in the day most likely on sat 10/24 due to soccer games.  If not early the next day, let me know if anybody wants to caravan or whatever.

I must be a noob, I can't find the excursion you are refering to.  Is this the event at Johnson Valley that I heard about when I was in Sedona last week?  I can do Saturday.  Where is everyone meeting?  We would like to hook up some moderate trails, in a stock 4x4 06 OR.

Yes, this is the big Johnson Valley meet.  It sounds like its well organized and should be a lot of fun.  Here's a link for more information.

ok who else is going? I might go and do Gold Mtn and a few other trails. I finally mounted the rims I got from Matt and put two new BFG MTs up front.  The new tires needs to see dirt ASAP-I don't want them to get use to pavement.  My friend already called my rig a street queen with the shiny rims..  >:(

Rachel and I were planning on going and running the Hammers, but I have to replace the steering box first.  Should be a fun night tonight.

Wasn't that bad.  Some troubles getting the splines reseated, but that was about it.  Would've been easier with some daylight, but oh well.

Looks like I won't be there on time to make any of sat day runs due to double soccer games,  but still could meet up later in day at camp or lunch time since I would be leaving my place @ 10am after the games. 

 At the momemt kind of lost my voice, so I'll see how things go sat and try to make it out :D

i don't think I am going to go to the campsite. it's 40 miles away where we are going to wheel.  I am going to go up to big bear and grab breakfast and wait there.

Thanks again for the invite, we look forward to wheelin with ya'll soon.
