Hey Danny,
On a whim Mike and I ran Doran canyon on Saturday afternoon after I talked to you. We flew through it in about an hour; after all the broken trucks cleared, that is. Hope you're feeling better. Um, until next month when you'll get a mysterious illness on Fri. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> [/QB]</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, Helv, Helvetica, Sans">Yeah, I am starting to get the "bug" now, ya know?
I knew you guys would run Doran if ya got close to there. See ya'll later.

Anyone local in the So. Cal. area maybe up for 1/2 day at Gorman on March 30? I wanna get up there while I can and play w/ my new (old) Toy on the course and little trails inside the park <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="images/icons/cool.gif" />

<strong>Here's some pics of last year's intermediate run. http://www.avictoryhome.com/lars/4rjambo/ Hey Leo, wasn't it you we winched for two hours on the intermediate run last year? <img border="0" alt="[Baby]" title="" src="graemlins/baby.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[Drunk]" title="" src="graemlins/drunk.gif" /> Most of the trail was a tour.

Hey Danny,

On a whim Mike and I ran Doran canyon on Saturday afternoon after I talked to you. We flew through it in about an hour; after all the broken trucks cleared, that is. Here some pics http://www.avictoryhome.com/lars/calico/doran.html

I especially like the variable-width rear axle on that YJ <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

I should have taken more pics but I took pity on them. You should have seen them winch. They attached to the wrong corner of the jeep IMO and pulled the truck further into the hole. Damage, Inc. Decent folk as all people with a transfer case are though.

Not that the TTORA guys came out unscathed but they didn't bust off their axles at the splines either. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

Sounds good pal, I'll let you know. No burning of dogs allowed. Keno and Foster cost me enough in Vet. bills <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

I'll be there, I should be rolling in sometime late Friday. <img border="0" alt="[Nerd]" title="" src="graemlins/nerd.gif" />

Now I know WTF we were exploring! (Doran canyon) <img border="0" alt="[Fro]" title="" src="graemlins/rainfro.gif" />

More here if you're curious:
http://home.off-road.com/~bibelheimer/images/temp/calico

My wife's sister's family lives at Ft. Irwin near there (you might sorta remember them from Jambo too maybe...) and we went out to Calico to explore at Christmas. We had no idea where we were going, but I guess somehow we found that canyon and took the T100 and his stock 4runner down it. It was a challenge to keep the body panels straight, especially w/ the big truck! I don't know if we would have been able to go UP w/ open diffs...

If/when you guys head out there again, let me know. I'm sure my brother in law would love to go out there w/ some people who know the area a little better. He doesn't like to go wheeling by himself, and doesn't know anyone out there... (I'm trying to get him on the boards!)

See ya at the Jambo!

About the Jambo, I'll be flying in at 11PM on Friday night. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> Not sure if I'll make it yet......

Love the extra Graemlins... <img border="0" alt="[Hillbilly]" title="" src="graemlins/notooth.gif" />

Looks the canyon floor changes pretty regularly. The more, the merrier (within reason). Lately these trips have been planned on the spur of the moment. This frustrates Danny and Company to no end. Gotta organize this stuff better.
