I think the game plan, from our end, will be to leave Phoenix about mid day Monday and head out to Yucca Valley. We'll stay the night in a local motel (I found a couple that allows small pets).
On Tuesday AM, we'll catch Blaine and Kathryn coming through town (you do come through there, right?). We'll follow them to the lake bed and proceed to make my TJ worthy of the JV trails
We should be able to get a trail in on Tuesday before it gets dark, according to Blaine. After that, if my junk is still running, we'll play with Blaine and kathryn on the trails until we get thrown out of camp on account of needing a shower (or some other reason).
Robert....I hope you can show up before we have to head for home and a HOT shower!
William, are you coming out?
