Hello Friends - I have published the spring "trailer types" event at:

Trailer trek – Southeast California

This is a leisurely trek through Anza-Borrego, Chuckwalla, Joshua Tree, Mojave and Death Valley. Oriented around folks with trailers, but all are welcome. Mostly 2

Of course, all of you are welcome if you can join us for all or part of the trip. I've already got 10 non-OB trailer folks lined up, so I'm limiting the event signups to 5 OB Friends for now, but let me know if you can't get in and I'll adjust accordingly.

These trailer types are mostly harmless and varied in their interests in terms of sightseeing and camp activities. Some are full-timers who are joining us from afar, some are relative newbies who want help overlanding away from formal campgrounds. We'll try to have campfires wherever they're allowed so folks can swap stories and make further plans.

Almost all of the campsites are two nights to allow for adventuring on the stayover day. Opportunities for varied activities and sights abound at each of these locations, and you'll likely find at least one or two other attendees who want to join up on whatever you might have in mind.

@ProtonDecay, do you have a location / route planned yet for Friday, 3/21 to Sunday 3/23? I may plan to join you for the weekend if possible.

 

[TrailHawkGuy]

@Gx460_Will @ProtonDecay having the same thoughts as this could be a replacement for the Mojave TG trip

Here's the working itinerary - it's been fairly stable for a few weeks now, but still subject to change - probably won't decide until day of which of the campsites we'll actually use, but you can always reach me on 408-480-9583 or, for this trip, GMRS 15/19. You're welcome to join in as your travels permit:
