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.

I'm an old guy & don't have one of them fancy riding machines. If I can make it, It will be just me & Molly (my old gray mule)

Here is an old pic from Spangler

I still remember some of that night. Wes & Sue have a great party trailer.

Well this little trip seems to be shaping right up.

And Derwud got wood. Nuff said.

I have half a truck full of wood for the trip as well. I will throw dough at the fire as well.

WOW! I like the new and improved Strabo. The old one borrowed food, wood, gas, and the occasional small child. I could get used to this

[JJ_kids]

You can put me down for the wood fund

Count us in on the firewood Terry....

Hey Dusty. I noticed in your signature you have a Rhino. Back in 2010 we did a group ride to the Bar 10 Ranch on the North rim of the Grand Canyon. There was a guy named Dusty from Inyo/Kern in a Silver Rhino on that ride. Just curious if that was you?

No it was not me, sounds like a fun trip though.

I would be up for that. For our local desert trips, I get mine locally from Woodchuck firewood. Delivery is nice and it saves me from loading up my own. I just ordered some for our Thanksgiving trip. He has Apple 2”-4” diameter for $300.00 a cord. Unfortunately, he does not have any almond left.
