Santiago Peak Pics (no no no 56K)

I took a bunch of pictures. Here's a sampling of the better ones.

I had a blast and got my wife a bit more comfortable with going off road. She's got serious motion sickness and the views from up there didn't help!

It was a true pleasure meet each and every one of you.

Great pics, love the elevation notation! I had a good time meeting you, as well as meeting everyone else.

Thanks for posting the pictures. I'm sorry I missed this one, especially with so many new people out for the ride. But the up side is that I now have a 4-day weekend of my choosing. Anyone up for an Area 51 pre-run?

cool pics

Question about the guy with the front bumper skid on a stock setup in the 5th picture. Is that custom or is a supplier selling it? First time I've seen something like that.

Hey all, sorry I had to leave before the second half of the run but it was great meeting you and I had a blast. Looking forwards to the next run!

Had a really good time! Thanks guys.

totally custom fab by Total Chaos fabrication . This the TC rig of Editor X of SCCX I was diggin this as well. Solid contruction welded to the cross member. And look again there isnt anything stock about this rig . I think maybe the doors and hood .

I wanted to do part two but followed everyone by mistake down toward Lake Elsinore.

Nice meeting everyone. i had a long drive back so i couldn't make it to part 2. Next time i need to pack and plan in advance. Mistake learned. Anyways im looking forward for the next run.

We missed you Mitch.

Let's talk about Area 51, I'm interested.

Great run everyone.

I made a couple of panaramics of the two places where we stopped with a view. They're pretty big so I've shrunk them down 50%. You have to pan your browser side-to-side to see the whole thing.

Paul, nice panaramic picture! I just uploaded your panaramic picture in my R/C flight simulator and it worked great.

Great pics, and looks like everyone had a great time.
I think I used to run some of those roads back when I woked for OC. Always fun especially in a Suburban

Paul, great photos.

Here are a few of mine.

I like this one - there's about 6" worth of air under that left rear tire.

Nice driving and not a bit of wheel spin.

Nice Pictures everyone!! I have to say, you'll did a great Job!

Paul, thanks for the compliment on my driving!

As always we had a blast!! Can't wait for Eric to be back so he can join us on a new adventure!! hehe!

Hasta la Vista!!

p.s. Mitch... we missed you, that's all.

Hey Guys I had an Awesome time with all of you. I'm glad I got to meet so many new people. For those of the 18 people who didn't do the second half we missed you, but it was your loss. We had soo much fun out there, for training that was one of the best places I have ever been

The folks that made it can make another.

Thanks for the great run guys. Finally got myself a new forum name! Its a bummer that only a few of us made it to the OHV park, it was a ton of fun. I'll post a few pix from that when I get them. I look forward to doing more runs with you guys in the future!

So let's see some pics and hear some stories from the OHV area.

As for group that opted for food, we found a good Mexican place in Lake Elsinore. Carnitas tacos were good.

Looks like a great time. I really have to dust off my X (or get dust back on, as it were) and get back on the trail one of these days.

Hopefully some free time will coincide with one of your outings.

I was looking fwd to this run, but on Saturday night my friend called me, " hey you ready for fishing tomorrow, I already got all my stuff ready" I forgot I had told him I'd go with him. We went to silverwood for some trout fishing and only caught a cold, lol. We had to leave by 10am because of the high winds and 30degree weather , Next time I'll pick the X run over fishing, lol. Great pics by the way!

I am one of the non campers since I am on call pretty much all the time . I would have loved to go to the OHV . I know some like brian was the only justification since he is so hardcore. But the long drive back prohibits long stays on sundays . Great turnout and redfronty , gear up for big bear. I am stoked about that one ....

Frank I had no clue the 15 was right there. I am scaring myself. I am starting to get some of the freeways out here. Also was was the name of the airpump you showed me ?

Yeah nice pictures and great times thanks to everybody that participated.

The views where great, wind a bit strong, cold at times, and it was a pleasure meeting everybody. 21 trucks was

The 4 of us pretty much closed down the OHV, pretty rutted out narrow tracks and we had fun twisting around, dodging the ruts and whatnot.

I'll post some pictures later in the week when I have a chance.

Fun run everyone.

Nice seeing everyone and meeting some new folks too. Hope to see everyone again soon.

Oh I see how it is, everybody missed Mitch but no one missed Dan. Maybe my truck isn't yellow enough.

Dan, you were missed. You should've been there.

Just to prove my point, I used my 1,000th post to let you know.

Poor Dan, Don't worry you were defiantly missed, this was the first run I have done without you.

Dan, if you look at the other thread about the run you'll see that I missed you (in advance) even before you were not there to be missed.

I'm bummed that Doug & I missed this run. One of the closer runs too. Thanks to the peeps that posted the pictures. Looks like it was fun! We were busy all day Sunday, not to mention that we were stuck in our house as the Carlsbad marathon went right by the front door all day.
It does look like you guys needed some more yellow Xs there!

laurie

Laurie, we missed you and Doug too. Heather and I would not mind going back up there sometime, so if you two want to do an easy Sat or Sun drive sometime just let us know. (By the way, when do you want to go back out to Sandstone Canyon, so Doug can see it?)

Thanks Frank. We'll let you know as soon as we have a free weekend day to do some 4wheeling. Definitely need to take Doug out to Sandstone Canyon, and probably do some camping with it.
I'll let you know.

I love you guys.(sniff)

Dan, I didn't even go on this run and I missed you too.

That's right take that boy out for some 4wheelin so he can become a real man! grrr!!

Takes me awhile sometimes but here are a few that I took...

Hey All,,,,,,,,That looked like a really great time you had, Wish I could have been there !

Hopefully on the next run, I'll be ready

Thanks for the viewing !
