December Monthly AAV SoCal Trail Run - Saturday to Sunday overnight

Organizer(s): Brett (SFSMedic)
Trail Boss(s): Brett
Location: Upper Coyote Canyon to Baileys Cabin
When: December 10th-11th
Duration: Overnight Campout

Difficulty: 3-4 (Scale of 1-10), easy trail but 4WD is required making it rank at least a 3

Meet Location and Time: Dairy Queen (address below) – parking lot next door to Chevron @1000, we will conduct a driver meeting at 1030 and then head out.

DQ address: 56265 State Highway 371, Anza, CA 92539

Route: We will run Upper Coyote Canyon down to Baileys Cabin and camp out at Baileys Cabin for the night. This is a short scenic drive so plan on plenty of time to enjoy camp festivities, explore from camp via truck or hike or just relax. The following day we will head back out and have lunch at the Paradise Valley Café (TheParadiseValleyCafe.com).

The concentration for this trip is to get away from it and camp with a little driving to and from. Nothing technical

TR = Trail Rating (explanation)

Lunch/Dinner: Plan all your meals yourself, there will be no trail breaks for chow until camp. Its only a short distance. Approximately 10 miles (2 hours).

Planned Camp Discussion: After Actions Report and feedback for drivers and trail boss once in camp.

4x4 (mandatory) due to deep riverbed sand ground
Front and rear recovery points

GMC/Chevy HD's have what's called a Gov-Loc locker, works well enough. I guess I just assumed that Dodge/Ram had a similar set up. Anyone know if Ford's have a factory locker?

We'll be tenting it out of the Jeep.

doesnt look like the ford HD's have a locker as an option.

I think the dodge setup is similar.. I know some ford's with fx4 package come with a rear locker. I've never had an issue at most 3 rated trails with my truck. I've followed some tacomas and fj cruisers to places I shouldnt...

Damn all you full size weirdos!!
So, can I come or not? ;) Body damage is of no concern
I've got some nice new deep scratches from Los coyotes.. which I attribute to my lack of driving ability. Plus, I'll have a fairly new rtt I need to try.
