Message: [QUOTE="placelast, post: 519838, member: 22683"] Well, it's at least the same state. All I know is it takes me 3.5 hours to drive there, and about the same if I catch a flight (transfer @ LAX). But it is enjoyable either way, especially seeing the tree covered rolling hills, green this time of year (ISDE grass track practice?). I remember this last summer the day when Eel and Jack were doing Snowy Trail I was able to see Alamos Mtn. from the plane. I'd like us to do Ballinger Canyon someday. It's to the NW of Hungry Valley, and a half-way point. I've been there twice for enduros; one was cancelled (some frog/lizard thing) and the other was my first re-entry into enduros with TWMC in '99 - only got 6 miles out when I took a fall in some whoops/DNF on my DR pig. Then for those wanting to do more of the coastal hills, the Pozo area (been there once for an enduro, but it was cancelled by the forest service due to snow! And for the more adventursome: Clear Creek. Been there twice: once for the Quicksilver National (did not enter due to a headache the day before, practice riding). I believe each zone should have their own unique name, say Central CA Oak Bark Busters, CCOBB in the short, or Jersey-Rippin' Manzanita Crashers (JMRC). Pismo? Think I'd leave the bike home and rent a (gasp!) quad since the salt water/air ruins aluminum finishes and tighen spoke nipples (advances dielectric corrosion), and then there's no need to buy/mount a paddle tire. HumVees are for rent too (wife wants to do that.) Those of you not wanting to camp can crash at my (temp.) bachelor pad. Lil' ol' me introduced U 2 enduros? Gee: I thought you'd never be back after your first (then second, then third....) Guess my plan worked too good :eek: (I'm learning the ropes, methods of persuasion from Spanish Jack.) Methinks a KTM 200/250e/xc or Gas Gas will do you well. [/QUOTE]
