Smuggler's Cave (San Diego Area) date TBA

[calamaridog]

San Diego folks.

I've been wanting to get out to the Inkopah Mts. and the Smuggler's Cave area to look around. 8 east almost to Imperial County. Anyone up for a day trip out there? Maybe a short hike?

I'm always available on Tuesdays. I know, I'm reaching here, but maybe some other crazy person is off in the middle of the week.:xxrotflma

If not, a weekend will have to do:hehe: I'm off every other weekend so something will work.

I'm also free Dec. 20-23 and 27-28. Or we could go in Jan. 06. Or whenever.

Tuesdays!? You are crazy!

I'd be into it, however I am going to be out of town the 25-10th and it's going to be hectic up until then I'm sure.
But the jeep deserves some dirt asap, so lets see what shakes out.



:shakin:

The official date is Feb. 4

I propose we meet at the Carl's Jr. in Alpine at 7am. If that is too early then say so. Exit Tavern Rd. and go south. It's in the first shopping center on the east side of the street.

Look for the Land Cruiser

Bring your lunch. There is gas across the street too, so we should fill up.

I'll have FRS and CB. Let me know if you don't have a radio. I'll have some maps too.

See ya there!

Are theyre any mild to moderate trail to explore? Isnt there an OHV park near there?

Thanks
Kevin

Kevin,

I have not explored this particular area before. I know there used to be some moderate trails open nearby. I'm trying to figure out which ones are currently opened, etc. so I'll have more 411 later.

I have some maps and such and I am currently reviewing the information.

We will pass by an OHV area on the way out there called Corral Canyon and we will be near Ocotillo Wells too.

Very Cool! Maybe explore Coral Canyon?

Thanks for organizing this!

Corral Canyon is another trip

There are some harder trails there too

Looks like i have some interest amoungst some friends and will bring them along if its ok?

Also, sounds like smugglers cave is #75 on the list of the worlds longest caves: http://www.pipeline.com/~caverbob/seacave.html

This sounds fun, lets make a day of it and do some exploring? Cool? I will bring a small bbq and some food if there is interest!

Lemme know!

Thanks for setting this up!

Kevin,

Bring whomever you want and we certainly have time for a long lunch break. Just make sure you have a fire extinguisher:campfire:


I am fairly certain that is a different cave, this one is more of a large rock that people can stand under. Hope you aren't too disappointed
