Anyone interested in the O this coming weekend? Forecast is looking good - high pressure, light east/southeast winds, hot as hell. Orion sounded very interested, maybe Markus and Ken?, Lisa and Kia might drive chase. I can leave Thursday or Friday.
Come on kids! Let's head to Mecca!

It looks like it will have to be a crazy weekend warrior trip for me.
Meaning, getting crushed in the weekend traffic escaping LA on Friday afternoon. Charging hard for 3 days. Then cramming back in the the city Monday night along with everyone else.
I wanted to do the Steve M. Utah trip. But I can't break out of work on friday.

Update: Based on offline discussions and frightening thermal forecasts, the interest in this trip has dwindled enough to warrant cancellation.
As a self-preserving alternative, OP and I are planning a camping/flying trip to Soboba and Lake Elsinore this weekend.
As always - the more, the merrier, so let us know if this sounds appealing to you.
Details to follow.
