So many options!

Ray, is there any way to change my vote on the poll? I'll PM you.


No unfortunately we can't change the vote in the post but we can just note that the change 'manually' which may be enough to tip the scales.

Change is a natural thing for you women folks.


Does that mean there are now three constants??

Death, taxes and change??? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />


Well unfortunately change is a constant in my world <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Hey Ray,
Wish I could make it but my son heads back to camp Pendleton on the first and I can't miss that. Hopefully I can make the next one. I gott'a get out of the house soon.


Kirk if it's up here you still may be able to make it a 2.25 day run trip and simply drive up after you son goes back unless you're driving him south.

Cow Mountain
OK based on the voting thus far, I'm more inclined to do a more local run to Cow Mountain. One thing I'm concerned with is they note on their website that they may be closed due to rain/weather. I say we plan for CM but also plan for a backup somewhere else.

Also, while AB is very appealing, I think many are simply going to be a bit short on $$ being so close to the holidays and therefore someplace closer just makes more sense.

For backup's I'm considering the following...

(1) The route suggested to me which I posted above which starts near Monterrey and ends in the Grapevine area.

(2) Alternatively we can also consider several other sites all located within a 50 mile radius of Barstow. Barstow is a few miles north of point C in the picture below (Click on map and click again to select full screen. Map scale is in the lower left).

Again these alternatives are in case it rains over the New Year weekend.
