Onyx Excursion –by Jungle Jim We couldn’t have picked a nicer day for our Onyx Excursion. It was foggy when we left home, but halfway through the canyon it cleared up and by the time we reached Redlands it was perfectly clear. Not one cloud in the sky.
Those participating were:
As you can see from the photos, we had everything from a pure stock Toyota mini pickup with street tires, to a monster Blazer which, with its 35” tires, proved quite formidable when the going got tough. |
After all had
arrived, we headed up Highway 38 to higher elevations. Our caravan of
10 vehicles managed to stay together all the
way to Onyx Summit. There we had a brief drivers meeting, aired down the
tires, passed out maps, and had the first photo op of the day. Bruce passed out radios for
everyone, so all could get in on the chatter.
