Mornin' everyone..
On April 5 I'll be heading out to run the Main Divide (MD). This is a prerun for the Brews, grills, grindz, and BEACHES event scheduled for May 24th and I'll probably make another run a bit closer to the event. I'm thinking a late morning or early afternoon departure time would be good.
MD is an easy run and should be no problem for the 2wd FJs. It's my understanding that there are some turn-outs that can add some excitement, but it has been years since I was on this trail so I can neither confirm nor deny their existance.
For more info on the Main Divide checj out the following Dirtopia entry:

Also, it is my understanding that at some point MD is locked down so we may be taking a detour onto the Indian Truck Trail (ITT). - Actually, I just called and confirmed that Main Divide is in fact locked at the ITT junction so we will indeed be making a detour.
ITT will put us out near Lake Elsinore and is an exit off the I15 so anyone from San Diego can head home from trail's end.
For anyone that remains after we reach the end of the run, I'll be heading back via Ortega Highway (or depending on the time and how long it took us to run the trail, we may go back the way we came) and stopping at Bad To The Bone in San Juan Capistrano for lunch (or dinner, depending on the time we leave).
I would like to keep this run low key so I will only be opening it up to folks on this forum. Please refrain from mentioning it over on Big Blue.
We'll see y'all on the 5th!
