Good Day, Is there anything around the Elsinore mountains? Looking to visit this weekend to a Rigs and coffee event located there? Having a hell of a time finding dispersed sites locally!

Theres a few there. I dont have those unfortunately. Its still crazy trying to find something. You need to look mid week and hope someone hasn't been camping there for a while.

My apologies, I posted the links without checking first. Looks like Wildomar campground is open. It’s a little further south.

Anyone still around? Or did the corona get you all?

I'm still around, not dead yet.
Doug Wright is heading out next weekend for Laural Lakes near Mammoth. Don't know who will be joining him. I won't be going; my son will be taking my truck and trailer next week to June Lake.
I am thinking of going to Utah near Bryce Canyon in a month or two.

We are here! China virus has not helped anything though. Got out to Cyote Flat last month. Doing Laurel lakes this month.

Not sure on a meet and greet. All are welcome at Laurel lakes this weekend though.

Like everyone else, this virus has thrown a wrench into the majority of our plans for this year. We quit counting the number of events/trips that we've had to cancel/re-schedule.
I'm right in the middle of getting some NAV & COMMS stuff installed in the BEAST. I got my Technician license a few months back, so now I'm legal.
We ran up to Big Bear lake area for a quick overnighter in one of the Yellow Post sites & I had the bright idea to do the Red Canyon Jeep Trail on one of the hottest days of the year so far, but that's about all I've done. Really nice area & a fairly easy trail. I'd like to go back, do a little exploring & maybe spend the night when it's not 112 degrees.
Hope everyone is hanging in there & looking forward to getting together again some day soon...

Hi guys and gals! Tom from Hemet here. I’m an avid camper and I’m slowly getting the wife to relinquish funds to turn my 2005 Silverado 1500 into an overlanding truck! Everyone is excited, but I’m not exactly sure where to go during the winter. Any good suggestions out there? I’m looking forward to this rona scare being over so I can make it to the next meet and greet. Cheers!

Anza Borrego, Calico, Mojave Trail are some great areas in the winter.

Hi Tom, I’m also from Hemet! I’m really looking forward to desert season this year. We’ve been working on a run, hopefully in November. I’m headed out to the Mojave Preserve this weekend, and there are plenty of amazing places there. October is hunting season out there though , just so you are aware. Joshua Tree and Anza Borrego are also great desert places, but Death Valley is the best in my opinion. Hopefully we’ll meet up and hit the trail soon!

That sounds awesome! I have two kids, but they are adventurous, so I’m sure they would love it. I have military duty this weekend or I’d join ya!
We also like "Little Blair Valley" it is just over the hill north of Blair Valley.
