Craig Ross, owner of Rock worx will be providing off camber, gearing four-wheel drive at the WS4W Shavano Valley training grounds at the Rimrock trailhead on highway 90.
Jess Deegan (& Gigi) are leading a run August 19-22(23), 2024 on the Rubicon, for members of the Bakersfield Trailblazers and Western Slope Four Wheelers (open to non-club members on recommendation). Current plans are to enter from the East heading West, camping each night, with driving time each day of about 5 hours. You should expect some type of damage to your vehicle, though many obstacles do have bypasses (not all). Plan accordingly! Limit of SEVEN vehicles, though if the demand warrants the number may increase to 10. Currently there are four vehicles who have committed. Contact the Silverback at jfdeeganii@gmail.com to inquire or commit.
Lester and Ruth have been asked to lead Escalante Canyon. If interested, plan to leave Delta City Market this Wednesday at 9:30. Have a full tank of gas, lunch, snacks, water, etc.
Club dinner at Mi Mexico 6:00 pm
Trip Plan:
Leave South City Market at 8:30am Wednesday August 28. Re-group at Naturita Sales Gas Station/Store.
Bring or buy usual snacks, lunch, water, full tank of gas.
Trail begins approximately 22 miles beyond Naturita.
Trail is in 2 parts, both an in-&-out.
First part climbs the mesa to a dead end above the mine & buildings. Difficulty 3 the last time we were there. Scenic & good rock hounding.
Return most of the way to the highway for the second part.
Second part runs along the creek to a dead end across the creek from the remaining mine buildings. Difficulty 2 if dry.
Bring boots or water shoes if you want to cross the creek to investigate the buildings.
Total time off pavement may be 2 1/2 to 3 hours including lunch.
While commonly called Cashin Copper Mine, it probably produced more silver than copper. Also has some gruesome history a murder.
Please let us know if you expect to join us for this trip.
Thanks,
Lester & Ruth
