Description

This is day trip (Happy Father's Day). Bring a lunch. 

This is a very easy trip designed to get you out of the house. There is one “extra credit” rough spot but there is an easy go around.  Any 4X4 will do.

We’ll plan lunch under the trees at Oliflame Creek (probably dry).

Meet at the Highway 78 Banner store parking lot at 9:30 AM Saturday morning.  Banner is 92 mi les from San Clemente.  Air down when you get there.
