I'd love to go, but Los Angeles? Why not have a GTG in Arizona? So much more to see and much prettier countryside too!

^Hey if you do it a few days after this one, I'm totally in!

I can tell that MBNRA hasn't been to northern L A County. Lots of trees and hills and canyons and winding roads and NOT one Cactus!

Hey I'd be up for a GTG in AZ.
