Wrong Wheel Drive and I are going to meet up on the morning of Friday July 12th to carve some canyons, go on a short hike, and maybe even hit up the beach before I fly back to Portland. Who wants to come?
I’m visiting the LA area on business in early July, and on my last day down, I want to finally get out of the perfumed armpit that is the Irvine Spectrum Center and check out some of those SoCal driving roads everyone talks about. Having made Wrong Wheel Drive’s acquaintance on the PNW Spring Cruise, I felt like I had leeway to bug him and see if he’d mind showing me around his part of LA.
He’s graciously agreed, so we’re planning to meet up “in Malibu,” “between 8 and 9 AM,” depending on how much traffic I run into on my way up from Irvine (I’m planning to head out at 6). Then we’ll do a drive, a hike, and if time allows it, stop by the beach. I need to be at LAX at 4:30-ish to drop off the car, and my flight is scheduled for 5:50.

I would love to make it, but I don’t have one of those new fangled 9-80 schedules (mutters: kids this days while shaking fist). I’ll sadly still be in the salt mines until you are already at LAX. Have fun though!

Yeah, I’m lucky to have a job where it’s no big deal to take a healthy amount of isolated days off here and there.
I am going to be back down in late August or September sometime, so maybe it’ll work out then. I’m going to try to drive down if possible, but that might not work out timing-wise.

I’m in the same boat as SPAMBot and have to work. I’m scheduled to work until 6 but could leave a t 5ish and head to Malibu, but I doubt you guys will be there all day.

Edit: just read the rest of your post. I'm an idiot.

I’ll be at LAX at that point, unfortunately. It was a long shot to get anyone else on a Friday, but I figured I’d throw it out there just to see. I should be back in a few months, and maybe it will work out then.

If I have another fun car by then I will definatley join. Heck might even join if I just have the wagon

Yeah no worries.
And if Irvine weren’t so far I would suggest karting in Thousand Oaks Thursday night, but I’m sure you don’t want to do that.

Yeah, put the wagon through its paces!

Sweet! I’ll check in with you a couple nights before. If you wanna email me, my address is dlp@aperiodic.org; I’d notice that sooner than a Kinja notification
