1st Trip of the Year! Raptor Run 5 Sept 17-19 to Afton Canyon

[MagicMtnDan]

Sounds like you've been enjoying your Raptor and that's a good thing! I like rock crawling and I've done it in my Raptor (and scraped some stuff up doing it).

My only "advice" to you would have been to not be in a hurry to take it in and drive the heck out of it in the meantime.

Hope we do see you on Raptor Run 5 in Afton Canyon!

Call me on my cell phone if you're running late. if you don't have the number PM me.

We're leaving from the Sylmar area around 4:30 on Friday. Let me know if you want to caravan with us.

Do I need extra fuel can for this trip?

 

[MagicMtnDan]

I don't think so. If you don't have one don't worry about getting one before this Friday. We'll be filling up at the Union 76 when we meet on Friday night. I don't see us driving that much on Saturday and Sunday morning to drain a full tank so you should be fine. In any case others will have gas to share with you if needed.

You will want to get a can for the future.

Just received a call from the dealership!!!!...My baby is in the paint booth today and they're waiting on the windshield....Guy says maybe by Friday....I might just make it!!!!

 

[MagicMtnDan]

Awesome H, get your camping gear ready! Tell them you MUST have it by Friday 3PM.

You should talk to MarkT and the other Vegas guys about driving down together.

 

[halcyon]

Marky Mark and the funky bunch....will do...

 

[bstoner59]

The CA guys should meet at the 76 in Barstow then drive up to Afton Rd. to meet Marky Mark and the funky bunch around 9. CA guys should plan on getting there around 8 so we can leave by 8:15/8:30 and meet the funky bunch around 9.

 

[MagicMtnDan]

So we'll meet up at the Union 76 in Yermo as planned at 8PM and we'll leave there by 8:15PM. LET US KNOW IF YOU'RE RUNNING LATE. You have Brian's cell and my cell #'s.

Please bring at least 1 bundle of firewood with you so we can have a fire both nights.
