How about next weekend? Saturday or sunday, 17 or 18th. I have not been to Hollister and would love to try it out. I am not super experienced on the trails but have done some. Willing to share what I know.

I can't make that one, but can do a day after Thanksgiving run to Hollister. Could you make that?

I might be able to make this Saturday, but I am definitely out for the day after Thanksgiving.

Hollister -Has trails and obstacle course area's. Trails are rated like ski resorts.
carnegie -(livermore) small obstacle course only.
Frank Raines -(patterson) trails, mud pit, hill clime's. Small place but good drive,and not too many people.

And buy a CA trails book,most of us have them. We have explored a lot since we bought ours.

I can't either, we are putting the ship back in the water after an emergency dry dock to repair the cpp system.
