Cool man, looks like a killer time! How long was the drive, a few hours or so? Was anyone using the Imex Rubicon tires?

Surprising Crawling Spots
Do you guys like trail runs in dry rocky river beds? I just emptied a few packs on a man made riverbed along the front of a business here in Lakeside and it was sweet. Rounded rough granite cobbles from fist to football size with some 2-3 foot chunks here and there with nice little verticals. There are 3 or 4 strips about 50 to 100 feet long about 6 feet wide winding between the sidwalk and parking lot.
I know some local parks have similar stuff, but you'd be surprised what you can find in front of businesses, schools and shopping centers.
This one is just off 67 at Riverford. Cross the San Diego River bridge just north and there is a building called "Turning Point" on the right and the trail is right next to the sidewalk. Let me know if you have any good spots in other parts of town too.
Cheatin and I have scouted out some other East County locatios, and one might turn out to be really good, but it needs some work. If we can make it into something worth traveling to we'll let you know.

Welcome to the area, crashen1. The Muscle is 15 or 20 miles north of you, and I'm 20 miles east of him out the 8 then 67 in Lakeside. Cheatin lives a little closer to me than to the Muscle pretty close to the 8 in La Mesa.
I figure I'll keep looking around in the East County cause there are great rocks everywhere - but most are on private property. When we have something worth visiting I'll give directions and try to set up a GTG.

It would be nice to have a GTG in the SD area. I might go out try to find something down this way.

Ty and I have every other Friday off and this Friday is one of them. We're heading to Felicita Park on Friday, but Saturday sounds cool too if my wife doesn't complain about it...

Scratch Friday for me, the wife has a dentist appt. at 11. How's Felicita sound for Saturday?

Saturday at Felicita around 9:30-10:00?? I think I can make it for that.
I ordered a K2-3S chassis monday. I hope to use it for a scale build, maybe 1.9 wheel size.

It may take a while, I need to collect a few parts still, but it should be fun. If you have any time friday morning or evening we can do a trail run in my yard (G.I.R.) And don't forget your off road vehicles for the race tracks.

Cool man, Friday afternoon at your pad may be a good idea. I'll see what's going on with Ty and Neal.
