Mike I sure hope you don’t let the “threat” of rain stop you from this ride. The weather I’ve seen shows Friday rain late in the day, by then we’ll be in Laughlin. Coming home shows “chance” of rain but we should be home by 2 to 3 PM.
60’s from here to Twentynine Palms then 70’s & 80’s till we return to Hemet.

[Bill Reitz]

Mike the weather app I have shows no rain in Laughlin all weekend but we may ride into rain on the way home. The ride is rain or shine. You got that RT for it’s better protection.

Rick we will stop for gas in 29 Palms at a Mobil station, the address is 73777 Twentynine Palms Highway. There are mexican & pizza/subs places next to the Mobil. We should be at the gas between 12:30 & 1.

[Bill Reitz]

Thanks Dale. That video showed how safe this group was riding by keeping an equal distance between each bike.

Hey John, the April General Meeting is usually at the camp out location. Although attendance at the Seaver meetings has been pretty good and attracted prospective members.

[Bill Reitz]

You’re not crazy Larry, it was there about an hour ago and I dloaded it. Someone deleted it, maybe to fix a part that Rick said was out of date ???

[Bill Reitz]

Karen & I are in. There are really GREAT roads to ride here.

[Bill Reitz]

Karen wants to know if Gale is going, so we can relive the last time we went ?????

[Bill Reitz]

Sounds good Larry & Trish, there is a ride. Karen & I are going too. I called Bob W and told him about the meeting and ride so he and Diane might show up. Anyone else ??

[Bill Reitz]

Here is the route for the Saturday ride after the General Meeting. We should see some wild flowers along Glendora Mountain, Glendora Ridge, or Mt. Baldy roads. I’m buying ice cream when we get to Dickey’s.

Hey Rick, I tried to install twice on my Samsung Galaxy S3 and got a “can’t install, duplicate provider authority” error both times. Any ideas ??

Sorry Bill, no ideas. I have an iPhone. You’ll have to talk to ESR.

There are usually a few free days a year, like Veteran’s Day & Park Service Bday but the 100th definitely added some more free days.

[Bill Reitz]

I would be interested in learning how to post events to the calendar/events sections. I’ve read Rick’s first write-up and still can’t figure it out. I look forward to a simpler re-write.

[Bill Reitz]

OK people, attached are the GPX routes for the three days. I made them in TYRE so if anyone has trouble let me know and I will try to work with you to get them loaded.

Two nights at the Pioneer Hotel & Casino in Laughlin, March 11 to 13th This is an older hotel, you can still get a room with your bike parked right outside. Rate is $51 a night for a total of $114 and change. ASK FOR A GROUND FLOOR ROOM !

There is a surprise planned for Saturday breakfast so I need everyone going to add your name on the CALENDAR FORUM so I can get a count please.

We will leave from the Mission Starbucks at 10am on Friday, that should give all the traffic a chance to clear out. We’ll go over Ortega then across the valley thru Hemet to the 10 & 62. Gas and lunch in Twentynine Palms then head over Amboy Road to Route 66, I-40, and Needles Hwy into town.

Saturday 0830 meet in the parking lot then head to Harrah’s for breakfast. Then we travel back in time following Route 66 again thru Oatman and up to Sitgreaves Pass then to an old Mobil Station that ran out of gas about 50 years ago. We travel back into Oatman and spend time looking for treasures and feeding the wild burros and, maybe, watching an old west gunfight.We’ll be back in Laughlin in time for the gamblers in the group to win the big jackpot and the rest of us can stroll along The Riverwalk to check the sights.

Sunday 0900 we head home keeping on old Route 66 to Roy’s in Amboy then back to Twentynine Palms and on home.

Actually Erasmo $51 a night was the regular price, there was no group rate. Total of $114 and change for two nights. Ask for a ground floor room to keep an eye on your bike.

[Bill Reitz]

Sorry to hear that Mark. Hopefully it won’t be another nine years till we go back. 😁

[Bill Reitz]

Everyone that is going, did you get the room reserved in your name with a credit card to cover it ? Dale will not be able to attend this ride and will cancel his room so I want all going to recheck they will have a room when we arrive.

[Bill Reitz]

It might be that we are recruiting many newer riders. Ride participation has never been this high as far as I can remember. The BOD is offering many chances to get out and ride to various locations and the newer riders are attracted to these chances to go.

Just a thought…..

[Bill Reitz]

Well….. we are all waiting to hear about and see the ride. I saw the pix on the Facebook page, looked like fun.
