Default Regular Crawler Group/Event at San Jose Area?

Hello All,

Is there any regular crawler group or event near San Jose area?
I am new in here and after searching the forum, I cannot find any regular get-together in this area.
http://www.nor-calrcrc.com/ seems not been updated for a while...

Thank you.

-Kai

I'm down in SJ, as well as another buddy of mine. We usually crawl after work, but nothing set in stone...

Default Hey

I'm in the Cupertino area! I've just got my Berg running and plan on trying it out someplace this weekend!


Let me know if any of you want to try the location in Cupertino or I read someplace about a location off of Monterey Rd.

Can we post all the good crawling spots in south bay area?
I know the NorCal website has some but they don't have pictures and coordinates. We can do it better with pictures and coordinates if possible.

What do you think??

Nice pics. I was just there today at 7:00pm. It's fun here, but the rocks are spaced too far apart for a 2.2. My buddy and I found some decent lins for our little 2.2s, but it's still tough going. Need some 45" swampers.

I think I'll be there in tomorrow morning at around 10am or so.

Default Myrphy Ranch Milpitas

Swung by there today on the way back from Sheldons.

Lots of lizzards, chipmunks and black widows!! Every crack in the rock had webs, afraid to pick something up if it fell between any of the cracks!!

Matt,

It is very nice too meet you. Finally my crawler hitting some rocks not climbing the yellowbook anymore. It is a lot of fun... A lot to learn.

Nice pics!

I usually go further down the park. The rocks along the dry out pond and and dry out waterfall are fun to crawl.

Also, the slope of rocks at the end of the of the park posts a major challenge. I managed to crawl half way up last time. Will try again after my next mod!

Have fun!

So... you concluded that it's not a good place to crawl, huh?
