CK5 - The Full-Size GM Off Road Community

I don't suppose it's too early to start talking about the whens and wheres of this, eh?

Last year at Pismo it was great fun. I'd suggest somewhere where camping is near to a nice place to 'wheel (even for weenie-wheelers like me).

I wish I didn't work week-ends!Because I know the next one will be on one.I think I'm starting to feel sick that week-end,cough,cough...hack,hack.

How about down here in Hollister. We have clear creek and hollister hills. Hey steve. I used to live by you in Belmont. I lived there for about 10 yrs. I also worked at the safeway in Foster city for awhile...

Cool lets start planing!! Mabie start with when then were??
Hows August? Or June? Mabie the weekend AFTER 4th of July?? Anyone ever camp at Hollister? What about in the Sierras, out by Bass lake or Shaver lake?? I guess it would depend on were everyone is comming from so we can find a center point! Keep the ideas flowing!!

Isn't Hollister a bit hot durring summer(june-aug)?? Not exactly how hot it gets there. I don't mine coming from a place that gets 115 during summers, but others may.

Hollister, Pismo, it's still hellofa long way for me, but then again i don't do this every summer.

ARQ.

Details - we need details

What is this - a wheeling event? or just camping?

I'm in Oregon and interested...

Well last year a bunch of us in California wanted to get together and wheel & camp. So we ment up at Pismo Duneshttp://www.burt4x4.coloradok5.com (http://burt4x4.coloradok5.com/pismo8_00.htm>http://burt4x4.coloradok5.com/pismo8_00.htm</A>)

oh yea, it's good to start early since a lot(if not all) of state parts require reservations.

Also, if anyone is interested. I am doing a run across(mexicali-san felipe) what was the laguna salada in baja the weekend of april 21. It'll probably be a saturday thing, if nothing breaks then camp out in san felipe. Email me if interested(arqdennis@eudoramail.com)

ARQ.

Any time is good for me.

Hey Burt4x4, remember last year we tried to do the weekend after the 4th of July, then kept putting it off until August??? LOL!

Hollister sounds good if there's somewhere to camp nearby. Fort Hunter Liggett might be fun because they have their "Primitive Camp Ground" and a lot of land, but I'm not sure about 'wheeling opportunities (Steve S., You out there???)...

Hollister doesn't get that hot. We maybe get 6 days total a year that it gets over 100. We have a lot of diffrent places to camp. And 4 wheel. Hollister hills,Clear Creek, Panoche hills & Tumuy hills. All within a hour of each other.

Become one with nature............Then marinate it...

Hey, I'd be in for Hollister... Sounds like fun and I could shoot some sporting clays in Morgan Hill on the way home...

You could also shoot at Clear Creek.

Become one with nature...............Then marinate it..

Just kinda putting this near the top again...

Anyone have any recommendations on dates for the Blazer-Fest?

Make this an annual event, then have it in montrose, CO in 2002 and i'll be there.

I have a little baby girl coming so big wheeling events are taking the back seat till she can safely come with. :):)

Coil sprung 71 blazer.

We're trying to make it sort of annual, but... I think that it should be in or close to California... &lt;GRIN&gt;

OK, guys... How's two weekends after July 4th sound???

Ok sounds good to me. I do have one problem. I don't have a first gen. Blazer mine is a 86. Is that ok

Become one with nature.......Then marinate it...

I went to last years run. I do want to go again. things are iffy for me at this point. if some one in or around san diego wants to caravan there i'll most definitly go.

we just got to figure out when :-)


ARQ.

So like the 13-14-15??

I have been to Hollister Hills a few times and for day use it's 4bucks that you pay at the main motorcycle intrance. Then flip a U turn get back on the road and goto the gate and use the combination code they gave you with the 4bucks and your in!! LOCK and LOAD!!

Yo, Steve... My hunting partner said he's in. I told him I'm gonna try the weenie-wheeler (i.e. beginner) trails and he laughed at me. &lt;GRIN&gt;

I think I'll drink a few for Dennis if he don't make it...

That's one great thing about Hollister is that it has alot of easy stuff and hard stuff! Great training ground to get familiar with your rig and what it can do!
So I plan on being there Friday am July 13th to set up camp and get a few trail rides in before dinner. Anyone else gonna show up Friday?

Ok I need to now how many. I made reservations today. If we get around 50 rigs. They will basicaly shut down the park for us only. But we need over fifty.The park chargers $4.00 per rig per day for wheelin. And $6.00 per rig per day for camping. I talked with the ranger there we have group 5 campground reserved under CALIFORNIA CK5 BLAZER-FEST we can have up to 100 rigs. I need to now how many people and how many rigs. And dogs are OK has long has they are on leashes. That campground also has showers.. Please email me at DMDJ@PACBELL.NET

I'll get my buddie from SanJose to go! He is not on the web but he has a 76 Jimmy and a 74 Blazer.

I am hoping to have my rig ready to go by then. It's a 6 hour trip for me, but I think someone said something about caravaning up from the San Diego area and that would be cool. So put me down as a maybe and as it draws closer I'll be able to tell if the money comes thru.

CaliforniaK5, ARQ said that he was going to caravan up from SD.

Dan, cool... We might could drag a few more in who aren't online too...

If I can finish my rig by then I am in! I live in Morgan Hill in the summer (30 min from hollister). Count me as a most likely. It all depends on how fast I run out of money- again. Any of you ride? I wouldn't mind bringing my dirtbike.
Jeff

JTB - Even if your Blazer ain't running, bring your bike. The more, the merrier! Last year, one of the guys brought his wife's Suzuki Sidekick because his Blazer was in the shop. No big deal. It's a gathering of Blazer owners (although we *do* want to check out each oters' rides!).

Last count 22

Count me as a for sure. I can't wait! I drove my friend's 70 today and it inspired me to spend even more time working on mine. There's nothing like cruisin a full convertible.

Hey guys... I need a favor. A friend of mine in Oceanside has some parts for me. I was wondering if one of y'all who is coming up from San Diego would be willing to stop by his shop and drag the stuff up to Hollister for me. I'd be willing to pay some $$$ for the gas and time...

Steve,

Things are iffy for me still, kindaof in the middle of a job transition. If I do end up going It'd be no problem for me stoping by. It all depends if I have a job to go to or not :-) I'd be taking a long vacation, i need it.

Hey, 72blazer4x4 your in CA. and your not on the list we need to make it 50 and we are at 49 right now. I told Steve Fox that I would right up a trail report on the Blazer-Fest. I would like somebody to volunteer to do this. I have a digital camera and will take tons of pics. I have 2 cards so I could hold 98 pics and when full I live a few miles away from Hollisterhills so I could download them. I am not that good of a writer and I am sure somebody else could do it better then me.They could also submit it to Peterson's and fouywheeler Any volunteers..........Dan

Hey Dan.That might be a tall order.I don't think most of us(including me) are literate enough to even write up the posts here! LOL!!!

<font color=green>BobK<font color=green>

I would love it if we could get a spell checker on these boards. That's how bad I am......Dan

This is going to be fun...

BTW, don't look at me to write an article unless you want to wait for years. I still have an article due to Scott Parkhurst at PHR that I started almost 2 years ago. LOL!

Dang. I was just planning on bringing my cooler and a small barbecue. Camping stuff? Lessee... The back end of my Blazer. LOL!

I could use some help on friday bringing in some fire wood. So we could set up a time......Dan

You leavin Fri. morning Steve ?I got Fri. off if ya wanna drive down together.I know how to get there cuz I go thru Hollister when I go to visit my dad in Salinas.

All work and no beer makes Frizz a dull boy

Frizz, I'm not sure if I can get Friday off, but I'm going to try. I will also probably have to meet up with my buddy from Napa somewhere (San Jose or Morgan Hill are logical places to meet up with him). A convoy would be good.

email me: bigiron@pacbell.net

OK, I have arranged to take Friday the 13th off. I should be loading up on Thursday evening, finishing loading on Friday morning, and should be leaving my place about 10:00 on Friday morning. I'll have to check with my buddy to firm up that timetable since he has to come a little farther than me and I want to meet up with him somewhere.<P ID="edit"><FONT SIZE=-1>Edited by Steve_Chin on 06/20/01 12:03 PM (server time).</FONT></P>

Yeah, I still ain't gotten it yet. My friend is still holding it for me (over a year and a half in his warehouse). Oh, well... I guess I gotta drive out there some time, but I can't find the time.

Yeah, I can't wait to get out of this rat race and just go camping, have a cook-out and check out all the cool Blazers and Jimmys.
