WRUE951 Posted June 9 Report Posted June 9 So we go out shooting today in are fine hot desert.. Packing up and starting to leave a caravan of jeeps with all types of advertising on them parade by us. Something big even going on with outlanders in our desert this weekend. As we are watching, one guy in his jeep parks up on a hill within eye site from us.. All of a sudden we are hearing an Air Raid Siren, Louder than hell.. Turns out the guy on the hill has some sort of a hand crank air siren mounted in the back of his jeep and he is up there cranking away... Then the GMRS radios let loose.. Everyone was enjoying the nosie and their fun.. We left them behind in their dust.. It was actually kind of neat. They all defiantly had GMRS Radios and they gathered on 10, 11 & 12 GrouserPad and WRTC928 1 1 Quote

Will you be posting the next chapter of this air raid saga? Quote
WRTC928 Posted June 9 Report Posted June 9 Surely there's more to this story. Maybe they all gathered just to hear the siren, but it seems likely it was part of some larger event. Quote
WRUE951 Posted June 9 Author Report Posted June 9 No sorry,,, didn't hang around after spending 3 hours in a hot 106 degree afternoon.. The jeeper parade was a bit kool but most were Fancy Mall Crawlers. Lifted, looking pretty all set up for outlanding The Air Raid Siren was pretty loud and impressive and unexpected considering a large military base is just a few miles away.. Dang, i havent heard an air raid siren in 40 years. I was curious who the group was and what they were up too.. No one here has the dig.. O.K. Quote
H8SPVMT Posted June 9 Report Posted June 9 (edited) So, ya went out into the desert (Of all places) to shoot those nasty, foul smelling PEWs PEWS and without much of a backstop endangering the natural habitat and all its beauty. Then, them sneaky Jeepers must have followed you out there knowing you won't lead them astray to get lost, and never find their way back to civilization! It's a well know fact, "All perityfied Jeeps" never dare to leave the pavement in great fear of harming the environment and treating very lightly even on hard-packed, undisturbed gravel roads! I bet the real story is that they stopped alongside the road cause when hearing you "PEW, PeW, PEW that awful 9mm watermelon seed thrower you carry for protection scared em so bad they had to sound the alarm and get on the radios for backup help....... Hope ya picked up that nasty seed casing you endangered the environment with, my GOD Man! . . . . Had to get out and check my Jeep just to make sure there were no seed casings in it!

I was curious who the group was I know/am familiar with a lot of the Jeep groups around here and sadly many of them are just very pretty mall-crawlers and grocery getters with fresh wax-jobs and tire-sidewalls still wet from all the ArmorAll, that only go "off road" on flat dirt roads one or two times a year. We dont associate with those kinds. WRYZ926, H8SPVMT, WRUE951 and 2 others 4 1 Quote

Hope ya picked up that nasty brass and lead bullets you endangered the environment with, my GOD Man! . . . . Had to geo out and check my Jeep just to make sure there were no bullet holes it to! Actually,, shooting on a designated BLM shooting range against a very large backdrop.. I guarantee the jeepers air raid siren was much louder than our .308 shells exploding from our AR-10's... I feel sorry for all those jeepers, they had to go clean some dust off their pretty Mall Crawlers GrouserPad and H8SPVMT 2 Quote

Near Ridgecrest, about 3 miles from Hwy 395. 35°33'25.52"N 117°42'14.92"W. I think you hang out further south by Garlock and Randsburg. Quote

We try to get up to Garlock/Last Chance Canyon 1 or 2 times a year but we've only been in that area you specified once, 7 or 8 years ago, after checking out The Pinnacles. WRUE951 1 Quote

The Pinnacles is pretty cool.. Lots of really cool areas around here.. I'm sure you've checked out Burro Schmit Tunnel. Quote

For the last 8 years we have lead 1 or 2 groups per year (20-40 Jeeps each group), up Goler Gulch, through Mormon Flat, up to Schmit Tunnel, over to Holland Camp, the Cleanser Mines, then out Last Chance Canyon. For this year's event I am thinking about getting an Air Raid Siren.. WRUE951, GrouserPad, SteveShannon and 1 other 3 1 Quote
