Looks like about 140 miles.

Here's some trail info. http://www.myjeeprocks.com/jeeps/jeepcalico.php

This'll be my first trip there, so I'm sure others will chime in with better information. But I'd say you definitely want skids.

I wouldn't wheel anywhere without skids.
We do plan on having two trails. One easy and one difficult. I've never done the easy trail, so I don't know how bad it gets. There is no way you can do the difficult trail without full skids and rock rails.

How is your Jeep currently set up?

Don't listen to Ed....there are No rocks in Calico....none....well maybe 2 but only because one rock broke in half so there are really only two half rocks there. :twisted:

...now lets not fib about the rocks. The easy trail is good for most moderate built Libs. Acually the trail is more on the moderate side. If there are more on the stockish side KJ's we can still do the area loop. There are lots of optional routes to do. We''ll play it by ear. I'm thinking the "easy" trail will take most of the day and covers alot of the outback area. If you have a mind to explore mines bring a flashlight. There are several that are a 20 minute hike inside before you hit the end. Others are cavern like inside.
We'll be crossing the top of Odessa Cyn.........so maybe we can hike down and help those others who are stuck in the canyon. :lol:

Regardless of the rocks, I am looking forward to doing the easier trail since I have never seen it before. I just want to see some new stuff and go wheeling!

Hmmmm.......should I run w/ that one or just let it be....hmm :twisted:

Anywho.... you can resize yours in photobucket to 150 x 150 or so and it will be larger.

140 miles is a short drive for a great time

Heck, we drive over 600 miles just to go wheeling!

Hey there Chris! You said you go to UTI in Rancho....Calico is about another hour north straight up the I15.
It'll be a great run, join us in getting LOST

JJsTJ · **Posted:** Tue Nov 18, 2008 2:25 pm

Can I please get a head count for this run?

Also Please note if you will be attending dinner on Sat. Night.
I think we will go to the Italian restaurant we went to last year unless anyone has other suggestions?

Strikeagle · **Posted:** Wed Nov 19, 2008 2:57 am

yazhi · **Posted:** Wed Nov 19, 2008 12:11 pm

Another thought for dinner might be Idol Spurs on Old Hwy 58

and 146.52 simplex if anyone else has a 2-meter radio.
