West Coast Camp Commander 2010 Pictures & Tales

DAY ONE / PICAYNE & PLACER GULCHES:

17 MILES OF OFF-ROAD DRIVING.

Day One got off to a slower start but that is expected when you consider that everyone just gone done driving a full day just to get here. We set out for a couple of trails we have not done before and thanks to Roy and Mary who scouted out the area we had a good run over Picayne & Placer Gulches which was a easy high shelf road with great views.

We did stop and walk around an old mining camp:

I'm leaving first thing in the morning. Will need to hear what time to meet y'all at the turn-off for Black Bear on Tuesday (assuming that's still the plan).

Finally got the XK Side Guards finished up today, so there'll be extra bells and whistles on the rig!

DAY TWO / CLEAR LAKE & STONY PASS:

CLEAR LAKE: Off Road Miles = 16.2 / Total Miles Driven: 23.2
STONY PASS: Off Road Miles = 37.2 / Total Miles Driven: 60.4

Today we did two runs... The first run of the day was to Clear Lake (a repeat run from the prior year) and there were only two Commanders on this run. We did not want to sit around in camp and wait for people to show up
