Oct 7th-9th

I'm going camping...not sure where. Maybe AB, maybe Afton Canyon. Maybe just stop somewhere in the middle of the desert when I get done driving...who knows. Anyone feel like an adventure?? Temp in AB is looking to be mid to upper 80's and high desert is upper 70's lower 80's.

Let's get something going...chime in if you want to go and we can plan a trip!

If not, I'm going alone and we all know how Kyle loves it when I take off into the desert on my own!!

Hah! "Stoner and Kyle sittin in a cactus..."

I'm scheduled to hike Half Dome Sunday the 9th. But looking at the weather forecast has me all but convinced that aint happening. Its supposed to dump rain up there starting tomorrow, snow Wednesday and rain thru Thursday. Typically they pull the cables down right before the first big winter storm, so I'm expecting to get an email alert from the NPS saying our permits are canceled. I'm hoping not, but...

So with all that said, maybe we head south your way instead? If so, you'd see me (somewhere? anywhere?) sometime in the late afternoon Saturday. Maybe we plan to spend the night camping, Sunday exploring and then we might stay an extra night into Monday (since we both have work off already anyway).

Thoughts?

I have a tennis match on the 9th but I am definitely interested in leaving after work on the 7th and meeting up with you all.

If my match in in the afternoon, count me in for 7th thru 9th, leaving the morning of the 9th otherwise I'll go but leave sometime Saturday afternoon/evening.

Sweet! Sounds like Afton may be the area since it's a little closer?

What's the plan? (Start date; end date; location)

What's the plan? (Start date; end date; location)

I'm leaving this Friday after work.

Will most likely be on the road at 6PM from West SFV.

If you want to meet up and caravan out there I'm game.

My end date is Oct 9th, AM.

Location is Afton but exact is TBD....Brian?

Will be good to see you guys.

Brian & Afton Canyon =

1. Bring a shovel (seriously)

2. Stay out of the sand

Dan I always have a shovel with me now!!

I'm thinking of camping off Basin Rd. where we camped the last few times in that Mojave River Wash...thoughts? I'm going to head out Friday after work, hopefully be there by 8 or so.

As far as trails I haven't really thought much about that but it might be nice to explore the Mojave Preserve.

Brian/Dan/J.......this is out there now.....at Ocotillo.......something to look forward to next time.
