I am planning a trip to Hollister Hills SVRA for the weekend after Thanksgiving, Dec. 4-7. I haven't decided how long the trip will be but anyone is invited to show up and play, or ride if you like

. I am thinking of arriving Friday late morning and camping/wheeling through Sunday late morning

.

Hollister should be fairly dry by then but do expect a bit of mud and slippery hills. It should make for an interesting trip.

EDIT: Friday Morning through Saturday afternoon. Camping on Friday.

I might be able to make it up there depending on if my truck is ready and if I can get a day or two off work..

I just got back from Hollister. Tank trap had alittle water in it.... It was pretty fun tho.

jrock · « **Reply #7 on:** Nov 29, 2009, 09:04:18 PM »

No tank for me this trip

but all is not lost. There are a few trails that are a bit less extreme that will be all wet

joey0712 · « **Reply #8 on:** Nov 29, 2009, 09:06:18 PM »

Its wasnt too bad my buddy was unlocked in the front with 33s and he made it with a few strap outs from me

Damage?

joey0712 · « **Reply #10 on:** Nov 29, 2009, 10:08:03 PM »

He broke a TRE at the top of tank trap... He runs stock steering also...

I'll be up for the clean up on Saturday, I think I'll have part of my crew up there also. I'll be unloading in Area 5 around 9ish. I'll show you the best Hollister has to offer if your up for it

joey0712 · « **Reply #12 on:** Nov 30, 2009, 11:14:57 AM »

Ya i was thinking about maybe heading back up for the clean up.....

jrock · « **Reply #13 on:** Nov 30, 2009, 11:28:43 AM »

Sweet! It sounds to be a nice sized group. I have a few friends on my end going.

Just remember to email James Dutra and give him a head count for the free lunch.

Is anyone planning to be there Friday or is it just a Saturday crew? Anyone thought about Sunday?

jrock · « **Reply #15 on:** Dec 05, 2009, 09:47:52 PM »

I missed the whole clean-up BBQ and event. I was stuck on a trail. Yeah, I was "that" guy this time.

gte718p · « **Reply #16 on:** Dec 08, 2009, 12:26:19 PM »

nice, where where you stuck? I ran most of Hollister in the morning and didn't see you.

Don't feel two bad, I spent three hours stuck at the entrance to Tank Trap. I got caught on that dang drainage culvert right at the beginning. Ended up killing two batteries, and ARB, and a 60 short side inner. All that before I even made the trail.

jrock · « **Reply #17 on:** Dec 08, 2009, 10:10:24 PM »

Got stuck in Sycamore Trail, I think. It may be Mini Tank Trap or Jungle Trail, no one has been able to tell me. So anyway, I rode too high on the wall and fell in. Broke a rim and had to get winched out. It may be time for a winch

. It isn't too bad in the pictures but it got worse as we pulled me out. Too bad my camera man was trigger shy

.

Damage!

Mini Rubicon, first attempt. I NEEDED A BETTER SPOTTER.

zukjunkie13 · « **Reply #18 on:** Dec 09, 2009, 10:46:24 PM »

thats not breakin a rim. it looks like its a steel wheel, take a BFH and hit it back in place!

jrock · « **Reply #19 on:** Dec 09, 2009, 10:53:32 PM »

I plan to... slowly.

joey0712 · « **Reply #20 on:** Dec 09, 2009, 11:43:38 PM »

So did you ever run Tank trap?

jrock · « **Reply #21 on:** Dec 10, 2009, 08:43:59 AM »

Run.... yes

. Drive.... no

. That thing looked gnarly. I can't afford damage to my cab and that trail is full of it. I may have to wait for next year's dry season to do it now.

joey0712 · « **Reply #22 on:** Dec 10, 2009, 09:25:02 AM »

O got ya. It wasnt all that bad. My buddy was with me and he did fine. His truck is about as built as yours.

gte718p · « **Reply #23 on:** Dec 10, 2009, 10:41:30 AM »

nice, looks like its time for some bead locks. I'll be back up at hollister this weekend if you want to run with a good spotter

Where you the guys running the Mini con end towards the end of the day. Sounds like the group I did some spotting far. It pretty straight blue first gen.

sounds like you all had lots of fun. having a bad spotter is as bad as haveing no spoter.

If it wasn't Tracker, I went across the Mini Con real close to the end of the day. There was a Toy with Boggers trying to clime a washed out trail at the end of the mini con at the same time.
