Here's a quick summary and several photos from of our latest event...
I got some fantastic photos during the day's activities...
You can see all the photos here...
San Diego/Julian/Anza Borrego Cruise Photos!

The So Cal Chapter met on Saturday, May 3 at 8:30 AM in San Diego, California. We had 9 Avalanche owners brave the rainy weather to attend this meet from all over Southern Ca. We left San Diego to head to Julian, a small historic mountain community.

On the way we took a quick pit stop at Dudley's Bakery. (below)

Once in Julian, we browsed the town and had lunch...

Next, we left Julian to travel to Anza Borrego State Park
for some sight seeing, offroading, and camping.
It was still raining... but just wait!
Notice the transition from the lush green foliage to rocky territory....

Once we entered the state park, we stopped into Tamarisk Grove campground
to set up camp. After setting up we took off for some
light offroading. No More Rain! (below)

Next we did a little offroading to arrive at Font's Point. (below)
You'll notice a little cluster of people around a white AV, it's CA HIKRs. He had a broken suspension part... but that kinda deserves it's own topic.

We'll that was our day in a nutshell. Thanks to all those who attended!
Wind4Power and I had a fantastic time! I hope you all did too!
A special thanks to Ari (Lightining) for thinkin' up this great cruise!​
 
I'm glad you guys liked the photos! We absolutely did have a really good time! (as usual) ?;) I'm going to try to get the rest of the pictures posted on the SO CAL Homepage tonight after work. You'll have to check them out... I got some great ones.
 
Good job on the photos Cindy, I have a couple that I will email you late tonight. We had a blast on our first cruise, I'm glad everyone enjoyed themselves. AVKing, dc4all, Ms. Lightning, Charley (the dog)and myself had some good trail rides and a nice hike on Sunday.
 
Great PICs. I will send the few I got when I get home. Thanks to Ari and Deborah (lightning) (hope I got that right) for playing the leader on all the cruises and trail rides. Sundays rides and hike were fun. Almost all the pin stripes washed right off.

Has anyone heard from Brian and Barb (CAHIKR)? Did they make it home ok or did they find a shop to stop at?
 
HERE IS A PIC OF THE ON-SITE FIX OF MY BROKEN TORSION BAR BRACKET.

OK... I've been working hard... I took over 200 photos on Saturday. :eek:
Don't you just love digital cameras?
I've narrowed them down to about 65.
That was tough... there's alot of good ones so go take a look...
They are in chronological order. ;D
