Trip to the “S”
Just like that, Summer is almost over so I wanted to get one last trip up the mountain with everyone to see the “S” and the valley with the summer sky's and summer sunsets one last time and this trip did not disappoint. We had a total of 15 (Well, we started with 15,...
The great weather balloon Search, Operation “Weather Balloon” – Cari DeVore
It’s not too often that we off-roaders get to take our vehicles out on a mission to help others retrieve items lost in the desert. Operation Weather Balloon was one such instance that getting out in the desert meant more than a good time with good friends; we were on...

Every year we get the great opportunity to be apart of the town of Idyllwilds 4th of July Parade and This years 4th of July parade was amazing like usual. There was some concern about getting up the hill due to the ongoing construction on the highway from the floods...
HI Desert Round UP 2019 – Have you registered yet?
Held on Memorial Day weekend, this will be HDR 48, and we have had a lot of changes over the years. We have held the event in a few different locations, but the best one so far (in my humble opinion) is at the Slash X Ranch in Barstow. We also do some things the same...
CALICO 2019
When I first started attending meetings with the Hemet Jeep Club, I would hear members talk about runs they would attend and runs that they would put on. One of those runs was the Calico run that Tonya Bouchard used to put on and at the time I thought man, that...
MOAB 2019
Moab 2019 was great! Perfect weather, a good turnout and a fun mix of runs. I don't keep track of who's coming until they show up Monday, then we decide of what run to do based on the group's desires. We decided to start with Kane Creek Canyon, an old favorite that...
DESERT SAFARI 2019
Desert safari is the biggest Jeep run on the west coast and I would be willing to bet probably one of the biggest in the nation. This year was no different. I came up Wednesday late evening to the Sea View Estates where some of us members have called our...
CAL 4 Wheel 60th Annual Convention
I was able to attend the Cal 4 Wheel convention this year for the first in at least 15 years. It’s a long drive to Rancho Cordova from Hemet but good thing for me Josh E. drove while I tried to stay awake. We got there in time to check in and walk around to see what...

Thanksgiving/New Years At The Bluffs
We arrived the day after Christmas along with Bob and LeiLani only to find our usual spot taken by some non-Jeepers. No one was over on the other Bluffs where the IE4W club usually is and we thought that if they did show up we could most definitely share. Other than a...

Earle Power Memorial Run – 2018
The pre-run was more for seeing how my new JK worked out before I led the actual run and my lovely wife took the old, reliable White ZJ of death on both the pre run and on the run - and literally beat it like she doesn’t have a dime in it – and we both made it out,...
