I released a carrier pigeon his way yesterday with a note. It must have either gotten lost, or picked off by a falcon. :( Thanks for letting him know Celt!

I have an idea what the SCCX compound might look like around the evening fire:

Thanks for the love guys :-* And I always like a good Blazing Saddles reference.
As many of you know, I feel quite strongly about the California political agenda, and I've been very busy with the affairs of state lately.
I'm in baby!

Woody Nick said he sent your son the trip invite link on FB to - have him check.

How many folks are heading up on Thursday? I took the entire time off, was just trying to figure out if we should come up on Thursday or Friday.

Were headed up Thursday to stake our claim at the SCCX Compound. If you want we can always convoy up?
-
We'll be up Thursday afternoon. Not sure exactly what just yet.

Not 100% positive but my best guess would be someone with an Xterra?
:P
-
The "X village" Will need to fit 20 rigs, everyone going up Thurs. please keep that in mind when you rope off some space. I will not be coming until Friday afternoon.
-
I, too, will not be there until Friday afternoon/evening. The Mrs. can't get off of work any sooner.
Who all is bring youngsters? I'm trying to decide whether to bring my 6 year old boy or let him spend the weekend at his Grandma's. He'll no doubt get bored if there aren't other kids there to play with.
-
I'm probably going to get there Friday morning.
Save me a spot.

Cool. That's probably the time we'll be showing up, too. Maybe even a hair later. Gavin won't be out of school until 3:00 on Friday.
-
I know Lemans is bringing Tre as well... Not sure if hes coming up on Thursday or Friday yet.

Anyone want to get on a trail while were up there? I was thinking maybe Heart Break Ridge (Easy gray-ish). C'mon you up in coming trail leaders now is your chance to shine.... I want to leave fairly early and head on up. Anyone down here in San Diego want to convoy?
-
Hey guys, it saddens me to have to back out of this epic (drinking) adventure. But alas my cup runneth over. Tis the middle of Deer and Quail season and a trip north to see my brother. Celt, please let your buddy have my spot, or I will put it up to the highest bidder >:D

So Sharon says it is time to start talking about ... FOOD!
She is planning on preparing a Charcuterie board for Friday night to share, and Saturday morning we are looking at a couple of options.
Do we need to start a new food thread?

I likes me some vittles............. If she needs any help or wants me to bring anything let me know. I have not got as far as food just yet in my planning but since I'm bringing my wife I better do something other than MRE's and canned soup.
-
I'll volunteer to do some Saturday morning bacon again if we're going to do breakfast that day. I'll bring the good stuff like last time. :)
-
FOOOOOOD!
I'm in on pot luck breakfast or dinner.

I was talking with the wife today and we can do hash browns or the like but were curious about how many people this would be for? We can do a reasonable amount but if we have 20 or so trucks it would be awfully difficult to accomplish. Maybe we can get a head count of who is interested and go from there.
-
Looks we won't have open camp fires allowed. With that being said, anyone who is attending taking a portable firepit? I was considering buying one but wanted to check in first.

From what I understand Joe is kind enough to bring his campfire.

Yes, I will be bringing mine, and I think there was someone else in the group with one last year. It's not super big, so if anyone else has one, I'd suggest bringing two if we can. I'll also be bringing my 10 lb. propane tank, but with two nights on the propane fire, it also needs to power my stove for Saturday morning bacon and any other cooking I do for myself and my family. So if someone else can bring some more propane that would be great.

I took your good idea and started a thread for us: https://www.sccxterra.com/smf/index.php?topic=4777.0

propane fires ok? not wood fire contained?
-

As of right now propane fires are acceptable from their website guidelines. Due to fire danger not changing anytime soon I think the only fire they will allow is going to be up at the main fire ring. Last year those fire in a can deals were really nice. They actually put out some decent heat and flicker around like a wood fire but there is no smoke to deal with.
-
Roger that.
Will try to get one.
-
As of right now I'm planning on meeting Scuba Dale on the way up there and plan to be there before noon. If anyone else wants to jump in let me know!
-
See you guys on Thursday - should be there early afternoon. Who else is coming in Thursday ?

Looking forward to seeing you again! I'll be showing up Friday afternoon at best, probably more likely to become Friday evening. :(
FYI - there's a food thread started. Trying to get together a group breakfast on Saturday and/or some refreshments for Friday evening, if you're interested: https://www.sccxterra.com/smf/index.php?topic=4777.0

My schedule is looking funky. Might arrive Sat afternoon. In laws decided last minute to celebrate a bday.
-
Is there enough propane fire pits already. My friend has one if we need another one.
-
I think I'm the only one bringing one so far. It would be really helpful to have two, as they're much smaller than a real campfire.
-
I just noticed they posted a schedule and the Raffle and group photo has been moved to Sunday late morning, interesting?

I am pretty sure they were tired of people leaving right after the raffle sat night and not cleaning up on Sunday morning so they moved it.
-
At the Desert Rendezvous, you only got a raffle ticket if you assisted in the cleanup of the shooting range.
-
Interesting, for the $40, your chance of a good ROI is not that great, I didn't know people left at that point. The Raffle isn't that special that it's the reason to go???
-
My friend Mike broke and axle tube last weekend and has decided not to go this weekend, does anyone here want his spot?

If that's your MRV motivation...you're doing it wrong.

I think he was making the same point. Basically saying that if people left after the raffle last year, then their primary motivation and timing mechanism was the raffle itself and it's not special enough for that.
I agree, but I also see AA's logic (if they are in-fact trying to get people to stay all the way to the end of the event at noon on Sunday) and I honestly think it'll work. What will happen though is everyone will pack up and be ready to go, they'll gather around the main fire ring for the raffle, and then there will be a mass exodus out of the place and log jam of vehicles trying to get back down the hill. I honestly liked the ability for folks to leave at their own will on Sunday morning much better.
Side note: It's looking more and more like the wife and boy and I won't make it up there until Saturday morning. :( There's craziness at both of our jobs, and I don't see any way I'll be home before 6:30 pm tomorrow. At that point, it's not the brightest idea to head up the mountain and arrive at 8:30 or 9:00 pm to try and set up camp in the dark. So unless I can pull off a miracle and get out of the office several hours earlier than I thought, we'll be up there sometime around 6:30 am on Saturday morning so that we can still contribute to the breakfast (I have a whole ton of bacon and sausage that I purchased just for this event). Sorry that you'll be short a fire pit on Friday night.
See you guys early Saturday morning!
