The snow is still here and it looks like it will be quite some time till it goes away.

So for our 1st run this year I thought Hollister would be fun (well maybe a little fun for those that have been there a million billion times). It will be a good run to help hone rusty skills, test new equipment, and help beginners get their feet wet. The date is still up in the air in case you guys wanted to change it a bit to get a better turn out, but I wanted plenty of time for everyone to decide.

For anyone that is new to the club or has not been on a trail run with the club, this will be a great trip to help you get started on a great sport. Hollister is an off-highway park located an hour south of San Jose that has a number of trails ranging from dirt road to triple diamond bring an extra pair of undies hard-core. Something for everyone.

more info here.

Anyone interested?

Yes I am interested......it has been a long time since I have been out there. Last time was for the NCCX 4x4 Beginers class put on my Esprit de Four. I don't have a modified rig but sounds like there are some trails to have fun on.

I'm interested. My only off-road experience is a day trip to Frank Raines. I need a few Hollister trips to put on my resume.

Unfortunately, I'll be in Las Vegas that weekend for the annual golf trip.

Ummm.....not sure. I might, I might not... Depends on how bored I am, then...

Hahaha! And you haven't even been to Moab yet! Hollister is peanuts when you're still coming down off a high from Golden Spike!

Hey Everyone,

Well, I made it back from the war, and 7 other countries just to get home and I'm still alive...haha

Put me down for Hollister...Glad to be back

Hey Huey...Still interested in the Nissan Seat Covers??? Both front & rear sets for $150.00

Let me know...OK?

I'll be outta town then, but I am thinking about going there this saturday for a quick haven't-been-wheelin-in-ages fix.

I do still want em, let me do my finaces and I'll tell you soon (I've got way too much money tied up in the X right now).

If I can get there I will be bringing my friend as well with his X.

I should be able to make it!

Hey Dean, we might have to bring that high back by running the tank traps?!?! I'll see if I can make it. It's alittle to early to know.

Nah, let's do the mini-Rubicon!

Or maybe the staircase...backwards!

I'll try my best to have the pathy finished by then... but I doubt it with no $$$. I might be working that weekend also so we'll see. I'm just sick of the damn snow

won't be able to make this outing. i'll be out of town.

Huey,

Do you have an itinerary for the Hollister Trip on May 31st?

What time are we going to meet? What is the location of our meeting place?

Is this going to be a one day trip or are we camping overnight?

Let me know...Please post the details

Thanx

Andy, I was right about to do that!

So I'm going to suggest that we meet at the obsticle course at 11:00am. CB channel 16 and FRS 16 (no sub code). If you get there early take it easy around the park and meet us at 11, if you get there late, just yell on your CB or FRS and we'll pick you up.

No camping or anything like that, but we will be breaking up into a few groups if everyone shows up. I think I'll end up staying till about 4 or 5 but you can come and go as you please.

Trails are open right now to what you guys want to do. If any of you guys want some pointers at the begining of the day, we can spend some time at the obsticle course going over some basics (please note in this thread if you guys want this) maybe we can get a few of the seasoned members to lead a quick 101 on off-roading.

I have a feeling Marty wants to take a look at Tank Trap and there is always the end of day run down Bonanza for the brave. Oh and 5/31/03 will be the day that an NCCX member(s) will make it all the way up Formotia! Even if it is just Matt in his Jeep.

Please update your sign up guys.

One more quick note. If you are unsure of what to expect while off-roading or need a refresher go to this link , it should help a bit. Also watching more experienced drivers negotiate obsticles and how they interact with their spoters will help too. The slick rock at the obsticle course is a great place to practice, as with a few of the other other courses! Just stay away from the mini Rubicon and any large body of water.

Sorry. I'm a no-go. SaberCat playoff game at noon. Season ticket holder.

I'll be there. Where do we meet? I will bringing a friend or two. By the way, anybody know what HOV stands for with regard to 4WD (Sorry if this is a stupid question)

Should have read the thread a little more. 11 AM works for me. This will be my first time out other than climbing a few hills around town, so an Offroad 101 course would be appreciated. I don't have any mods.

Looks like myself and "XBihlman" are out. Cant go out two weeks in a row and we are going to do the Summit Lake guant on the 7th. Will try next time
