Well it didn't work out, and I headed out Panoche Rd and dirt Panoche to I-5 for the southbound to SoCal. To me, the NorCal vs SoCal irony is if you're in a wheeling area in SoCal and you need an alternative, there's probably something else as a back up within 30 to 60 minutes.

Saturday, I wheeled the easy 75 mile Bradshaw Trail from below sea level at the Salton Sea, east towards Blythe. It was 1941 Patton tank training country, and currently a Navy bombing range perimeter. We were buzzed by Harriers. Sunday, wheeled and group geocached canyons out of Indio: Painted, Box, Pinkham, Fargo, Rockhouse. Monday, hike to 8000 feet in the San Gabriels to a USAF plane wreck.

I would love it if there were things 30-60 miles away. Sigh. Glad you had a good weekend Ben.

I guess I would have still missed you guys either way. The meeting was loooong. The next closest place would have been Clear Creek. Neat place if you don't mind the asbestos. And it sucks in rain. Next next closest option would have been the old coast road out by Big Sur. Real easy senic drive.

We'll end up wheeling together eventually. Anyone besides me and Matt (and I think Ben) going to Moab?
