US West San Diego Overland Bound Trail Runs

[hopkillin]

I def wanna head out to the Expo this year..

We should be a sub meet up and chat about timing and route and maybe some trails on the way out and back. Tickets are on sale for the top level for like $335. But the next level is going on sale later this month for like 170.

It looks like Inland Empire is doing a Bee Canyon run on Saturday Jan 19th. I think that's the furthest south they go and it's pretty close to us. Might be worth trying to sync up.

Just found out I can’t make that trip would love to go next time.

Yeah, looks like the $170s go up in a couple days. I'm a newb to the expo. I heard that campground gets packed quick.

I know a stock tundra can. Maybe that helps?

There are several different trails each having different difficulty levels. It can certainly go down most of them. It can likely do the more hardcore ones too if you're willing to risk some light body damage.

A buddy of mine told me that they got a stock renegade trailhawk through with good spotting.

This may excite me more, since that's the jeep closest equivalency to my car.

I was surveying the US/Mx boundary in that area a few years back. I didnt have trouble with my 2011 Tundra but maybe there are a few areas I didnt go. I have been wanting to take my Land Cruiser back out there ever since.

Just a heads up, I was talking to some people from the Natural History Museum and they're saying that we just had a good winter bloom and will have a normal spring bloom, so it won't be as crazy as 2017.

I usually drive through Grapevine Canyon then either check out Blair Valley in the south or stuff around Arroyo Salado to the north. Coyote Canyon is always a good spot but is a nightmare of Prius' during the weekend.

I was looking at arroyo Salado area. The other family we are going with is going to be in a van and can’t go to fair off the main road.

So, in a van down by the river?
