Good times folks! Caleb you are my hero! Thanks for all the meat product. Those tri tips on Saturday night.... FACKKKKKK so bomb....

Great group of people. Awesome meet bunch of new peeps and seeing some old friends as well
Ive got a shit ton of photos so guess i'll just start at the beginning.
Co dawg the way out was pretty quiet....

Unsure if Caleb and Lutz were going to be stuck in the mud on that dry lake I made a precautionary meat purchase 18 more pounds

Gassed up and hit the pike...

Had a few sport pops hit the bed early around 330am.... whipped up a little bacon, eggs, chorizo, potato, burritos.... no photos as I was manning the spatula. We rolled out of camp for Elmer's Bottle Tree Ranch a you can see we were like like 25 or so deep!

There was an Auto accident.....

Old People fall asleep at the wheel you have to awake them with a little nerf....

So the Bottle Tree place was pretty rad...

Gen 1 camp chef stove

I basically walked around for the better part of 30 mins with my mouth open snapping photos just taking it all in ... Tons of bizarre things weld to the tops of each pole. Pretty cool little spot. Elmer was super cool to he chatted with us a bit.

Where was I.... so before we rolled out of the Bottle Tree Ranch . I had the old man show me how it's done in Oregon.

Group split up half went to grab something to eat/head back to camp. We headed back the into the dirt. Things were going pretty smooth until there was a call over the radio from Jake that they were over heating. Half the spun around and headed back to their car to find that they had blown a radiator hose...luckily Sdecurti had the correct size hose in stock. Papa Gort cut it to fit a but he was unable to get it to fit correctly. So things got a little custom

We ended up going thought all the bottled water we had with us and had to dip into the cooler water to get the radiator topped up but we got shit handled didnt even have to break into any coor light. Loaded up and hit the road back to camp

I hung back and waited for NODNARB at the last turn before camp. After having a cold pop we decided to meet up with some of the other group that headed over to the dune section. Stevypop called in over the radio and informed me that there was an epic jump we needed to come scope. So that we did.

The Rest of the group over heard the radio banter from back and camp and decided to come join the fun.

That was a great trip, the plan was Calico but ended up in Barstow and the rest was history! Where's picture or video of Mikey absolutely sending the Bronco off the Dan Vance jump? I think think I might have it, Mikey's face was white and his eyes were the size of dinner plates after that jump!

 

[UCD BAJA]

There is a video somewhere, this screen grab doesn't do it justice. Mikey and Jensen were having a jumping contest!!
