Calico Night Run June 8th 2018 rematch of Saturday Oct. 22, 2016
What:
Yes this is the rematch; No this is NOT an official
run. Yes I finally got my Sliders on, which has been the hold-up. Don’t know that I care for them but I could be wrong. I will be running Odessa, Doran, and likely Phillips loop. I expect to hit the trail about 9:30 PM. The moon phase will be Waning Crescent so there won’t be much in the way of natural light. I would expect to be on the trails for four (4) to six (6) hours but that could vary.
Where and when to meet:
Original Tommy’s – 8:30 PM
2610 Fisher Blvd, Barstow, CA 9231
When you get off the freeway Tommy's is now hidden behind a Dickies BBQ
What to bring:
We will be eating dinner at Tommy’s (there are other options in the immediate area) so snacks and drinks to suit your taste. Anything else you would take on a difficult trail in the dark.
