2017 SoCal Desert Rendezvous: Official Thread

[Celt II]

I have been watching the weather report and it's calling for partly cloudy to clear skies in the upper 70's/low 80's. That whole area is in the rain shadow from Julian and Cuyamaca mountains so it can be storming away up there but bright and clear down there. I really don't see as it should be any issue at all.

Anyone worried about rain? Weather.com seems to think it will be alright, but there has been pretty steady rain her in the OC.

Weather won't scare us away, rain or shine we will have a great weekend

There have been a few questions about the location of camp. This is the approx location of the turn off, follow the railroad tracks until you find us. The exact location will be set when I arrive.

33.037324, -116.096348

Please READ THE FIRST POST it will make things a lot easier and answer most if not all questions. Also please know your reservation number (from post 2) it will make check in much easier on Stuart.

Please open up my spot. We've been working on training for our new dog, but she's very dog reactive and this won't be a good trip to have a dog accident. Sorry guys!
