Veterans Day weekend @ Spangler Hills 2013

[dedmiston]

It seems like folks don't post their trips here as much as they used to back in the site's heyday. Here's one for you though.

We're putting together a trip to Spangler Hills for the Veterans Day weekend (11/8 through 11/11).

For those of you old timers who've been around the site for awhile, you'll probably remember that this marks the 9th anniversary of the original So Cal Rally organized by our old friends Diirk and LaCoFDFireman (hopefully I got his name right). Nine years ago this November a bunch of us took a chance and met up with some strangers from the internet. I've never met a stranger bunch of strangers. Many lifelong friendships were formed--lots of great rides, great fires, drinks drank, bones broke, dogs fornicated... You name it.

We're not expecting anything the size of the old rallies and we won't have the same kind of organized rides like the old poker runs, but it should still be a good group of folks and a good time.

When: Veterans Day Weekend
Who: It's hard to say
Where: The old Rally spot at Spangler Hills (directions from Mojave here)

RSVP in this thread or shoot me a PM if you think you're coming.

We have a good group going..Should we order a cord of wood?

probably $20 to $25 a rig, maybe less depending on rig count.

Sounds good. Thanks for the info on finding camp. Looking forward to meeting everyone. Should be a lot of fun

Everybody is welcome.
I have a green 4' LED whip on top of my flag pole and I think you will see several other LED flag pole markers

I am old and will be there Thursday morning.

I Have a big rig and will be flying an American flag. Hopefully towards the base of the big hill.

Turn onto dirt road next to railroad tracks go to Kiosk and hang a left. Go slow some of the road is broken asphalt.

Look for big circle. I don't know if Dave is going to put up RV.net signs or not but we should be easy to find.

[porknbeanr]

Do you allow old people? If so we'll be there. Most likely won't arrive till way after dark. Is there anything we should look for to identify the group?

[JJ_kids]

It looks like the weather will be nice
Who is going and when?
I will be out there Friday morning

The bread drank all that Patron then passed out up there on the bunk. We dont camp with the Bread Family anymore, they moved to Utah and started a church.

Dave is looking a little "lost", "Where's my name and what's my trailer"

You bet!
Good times for sure.

Let me know if any of you guys want to ever put a weekend deal together out at the Glamis North Hot Springs. I will set it up so it costs very little for full hookups...

Some old friends and some good riding at Spangler
