This is a copy from the regional section: I have been looking forward to meeting a lot of you guys, but my schedule is just too busy on weekends. I do have a free day on Thurs, 12/19 and the canyons are usually pretty empty. If you want to come up here near Ventura we can head up lightly patrolled hwy 33 and through Lockwood Valley. Or I can head south as well for a nice day of coastal canyon cruising. Any takers?
