yep. Blue cayenne turbo. I'd love to see that pic! Most people that spoke to me thought i was out of my mind.
I kinda thought you were out of your mind too, but you were running through those big mud pits with everyone else. Did you have street tires on it at the time? I'll see if I still have any pictures, that was quite a long time ago. Now I'm thinking it must have been almost 8 or 9 years ago, right after I got my FJ40 I took it up there to play around. I haven't been up there since because it's not my type of crowd.
If you want to do a short, easy run, there was the Rincon Shortcut about a mile past the entrance to Azusa off-road park, not sure if it's still accessible. You can get the combination to the lock from the ranger station at the off-road area. It's 20+ miles of gated forest service road, so not too many people on it, and I think there's a campground halfway. It goes from Azusa canyon and drops you off at Angeles Crest highway, where there are a lot of developed campsites. I haven't been on it since before the Station fire, so it could be a really easy graded dirt road or it could be closed from all the washouts.
Depending where you are in Socal here's also Cleghorn trail off the 15. Don't know if there's camping allowed along the trail, but it's not as far as Mojave Road.
