November Baguio Fun Run/4x4 Basic Intro EB

[ThePatriarch]

Reserved tayo ng 2 cottages sa Teachers' Camp. One cottage has beds for 11 people. Kaya better kung magdala tayo ng sleeping bags/mattresses just in case madami ang sumama. Wala namang maarte sa BOSBs di ba? priority natin sa beds ang mga kumanders and mga tsikitings! then hati-hati na lang tayo sa bayad dun sa cottage. allowed din tayo magluto dun sa cottages para makatipid, hehehe. Charge pala sa use ng cottage is PhP2,200 per cottage per night. Mura na di ba? Special thanks to Mr_Incredible (doc Jun) for the reservation.

Last minute planning session on Wednesday sa The Alley bar 8 pm. Everybody is encouraged to join.

Bro GO1 poging pogi ang truck natin hehehehehehe have fun on your trip.

Thank you, bro Dadz. I am sure we'll have fun .

BTW, the turbo timer and the side mirror covers that I bought with you in Thailand have been installed already. The T/T installation took 1 hour and I had to come back the next day for the installation of the side mirror covers as the technician had to carefully study the wiring diagram to make sure that he'll not fry the LEDs of the signal lamps. I returned to the shop the following day and it took the technician more than 3 hours to install the mirror covers. The T/T in full auto and the side mirror covers with park light and signal lights work perfectly. I will post the pics at the mods section of the strada club thread very soon.

Hehe. P200 siguro yung galing UK. I got it from the military accessory shops sa abanao(?). Maganda material. Dami choice ng kulay. Puede pink...

I made a trip to Sto. Tomas Radar station this morning to check whether we can substitute it with the trip to Mount Data. After the trip I think it will be a good substitute. I am sure it will be too tiring for the BOSBs if we still proceed with the Mount Data trip. Here is my proposed itinerary for the Fun Run.

November 29, Saturday:

10:10am – Mansion House to Mines View Park (picture taking, breakfast and snacks here).

1:30pm – From Sto. Tomas Relay Station we’ll go back to Baguio and drop by at the Baguio Convention Center (picture taking).
2:30pm – From the Convention Center we’ll take Southdrive in going to John Hay (lunch, drive thru and picture taking at John Hay).

9:30am – Continue trip to Antamok Mines (picture taking and off-roading)
10:30am – Trailing to Binga Dam (picture taking at the road sides).
11:30am - Proceed to Ambuklao Road (lunch at the restaurant beside the road a kilometer away fro the Adonot River).
1:30pm – Resume trip and drop by at the Adonot River (river crossing, sand driving, four-wheeling, picture taking).

Thank you bro Dadz. Had to do something kasi sir Ianmitsulancer sent me a message na hindi sha makajoin on Saturday because of what happened to his brother-in-law.

[G01]

Nice job bro GO1!

isang tulog na lang!

Yup, isang tulog na lang hehe. Are you taking the Marcos Highway route coming up to Baguio? Shall I meet the group at Baguio entrance or just be at your quarters at Teacher's Camp?

[ThePatriarch]

bro GO1, ano ang weather dyan ngayon sa baguio? sobra lamig na ba?

hehehe, i'll bring my airsoft BDU just to be on the safe side kung malamig ng todo <==== may maitim na balak, hehehehe... dalhin ko na rin yung airsoft stuff ko, parang masarap maglaro sa baguio, hahahaha

So, eto na final itinerary? Medyo hectic ah. Di bale, basta masaya.
Bro, joke lang yung post ko sa kabilang thread. Medyo adventurous din tayo kaya... GO GO GO STRADA!

[ooba99]

Thanks G01 for the comprehensive itinerary for the Baguio Fun Run.


On the side, I would like to suggest to form a kitchen brigade to take care of the two breakfasts (Sunday and Monday) para pag-alis natin sa Teacher's Camp busog na tayo. Our cottage, I understand has kitchen but not sure what provisions are available. Sayang din ang oras (at gastos) kung magbe-breakfast pa tayo sa labas. I'm thinking that the kumanders may want to volunteer their services, hehehe. The boys will help in washing the dishes, pramis, hahaha.

Any additional suggestions?

[Boz]

si arvin ang in charge sa convoy... pero i think marcos hiway ang route na gagamitin namin.

kung ano mas convenient sa iyo bro... dun mo na lang kami i-meet, hehehe

To the BOSBs who will travel tom night, drive safely. No alcoholic drinks. Magkape na lang sa Starbucks. Medyo may portions sa Tarlac-Pangasinan route na may mga biglang lubak. Although kayang kaya ni Strada, ingat na lang. Kennon road is ok except for a few corners na one way. Worry ko lang kung maaga kayo dadaan dun baka wala pang mga taong nagta-trafik. Marcos hiway is safer although for me mas maganda scenes sa Kennon.

[G01]

bro GO1, ano ang weather dyan ngayon sa baguio? sobra lamig na ba?

hehehe, i'll bring my airsoft BDU just to be on the safe side kung malamig ng todo <==== may maitim na balak, hehehehe... dalhin ko na rin yung airsoft stuff ko, parang masarap maglaro sa baguio, hahahaha

Hindi naman masyadong malamig, sir ThePatriarch. Medyo malamig sa umaga around 14 degrees pero pagdating sa hapon naglalaro sa 28 to 34 degrees centigrade.

yup, the officers will strictly enforce the rule that there will be no consumption of alcoholic drinks. pagdating na lang sa baguio ang inuman....

since gabi naman ang alis, marcos na lang siguro... pabalik na lang sa manila tayo mag-kennon

hmmm, ano masarap inumin sa baguio? gin? pampainit? hehehe
