    Palm Borate Sites - Calico Area

    Link to that arrow on Google Maps: https://maps.app.goo.gl/MvYkwEKYkceGfgWj6 It's right next to the interstate but you can't see it from the freeway because its on top of that hill. No roads go right to it although there's a faint track along the outside of the freeway fence line we might be...

    Palm Borate Sites - Calico Area

    I saw that. Unfortunately the same reason I wasn't definite for the Overland trip also applies here. I may be able to carve out a weekend here in the fall sometime, I'll let you know! BTW I saw your comments on the airmail beacons. I know there's an arrow on a hill near the Afton Canyon exit...

    Palm Borate Sites - Calico Area

    Over 22 years ago, in March 2003, Thom Singer @ntsqd led So Cal Broncos on a run through the eastern section of the Calico Mountains, including a foray up into little-visited Sunrise Canyon. During that trip Thom mentioned an old mining railroad that had existed in that area, which included a...

    Palm Borate Gravity Railroad 2025-09-22

    This depiction of the route of the short, gravity-fed ore railway for the Palm Borate Company is an approximation, based on historical depictions and aerial maps. It is not definite or based on any actual, specific GPS data.

    The Palm Borate Company Operations, Calico 2025-09-22

    The Palm Borate Company was one of the last commercial mining operations in the eastern Calico Mountains, operating for just 10 days before collapsing along with the price of borate minerals, in 1907. Located in an unnamed canyon immediately southwest of Sunrise Canyon, the operation was notable...

    CANCELED: SCEB Inaugural Point to Point (aka "Overland") Run planning

    I'm interested depending on the date you settle on. Of the options you chose I'd be more inclined to option 1. I've done Mojave road and while it's fun with lots of interesting stuff to see, something tells me a Thom Singer guided tour might take me somewhere I've never been before.

    Anyone Running an EGR Delete Kit on Their Bronco?

    I deleted EGR on my 5.8l. It was pretty simple with the Lightning lower intake, simply threaded the exhaust gas port in the middle of the intake runners and screwed a pipe plug into it, and plugged the ports on the corners of the heads. On a 5.0/5.8 you then just ditch the EGR spacer and fab up...

    Offroad trail jack

    I don't like Hi-Lift jacks. I carry a small, cheap bottle jack from Harbor Freight that costs about $25. Fits inside my onboard tool box and works every time. I carry a couple of small wood blocks for footing or extra dunnage when needed. The ones you posted look interesting, if a bit expensive...
