Blue Tonka and I ran Hungry Valley on Dec 1 to check it out. It's a really nice location and I'm looking forward to January 19th. Here's a highlight video of our run:

Is Miller J--p Trail on the menu for that day? The trail takes almost half a day to complete from what I read. Varying terrain from rocks, hills, and what not.

I'm going to subscribe to this thread. If I'm not busy that weekend I may have to make that drive. It's a fun place.

Is there a reason it's starting so late in the day? We have precious little day light in the winter. I would prefer a very early start-esp. if we have Miller in mind.

Good point.

There have been different requests for earlier starts and leaving it as is.

We have plenty of time to decide and find a comfortable start time for everyone (near, far, early birds, and night owls).

I was planning to be there before 11AM anyway since it is only 1 hour away from me. Santa Clarita folks are lucky to be much closer.

What do you all prefer?
11:00AM Meet 12:30PM Run
10:00AM Meet 11:30AM Run
09:00AM Meet 10:30AM Run
(we can also run immediately and meet/eat later in the trail)

I'll continue to research the area and will make time to prerun before Jan 19th.

Tony, mod changed the thread name. Please add to the calendar at your convenience. Thanks dude!
