      Ron, I think it is going to be a mixed bag depending on our route and elevation. I know I will be starting the day nice and warm. You can always shed layers πŸ™‚

        Jessie,

        My experience is to use whatever tool for route planning. If you can route plan with BaseCamp, good luck…the tool is hard to navigate so here is what I do.

        I used to use Tyre for route planning and now the new app (MyRoute) which is web-based. I have yet to test the connector to the GPS to see if it properly routes the waypoints, but I use BaseCamp to open the trip planned in Tyre and/or MyRotue and upload to the GPS with BaseCamp. Works like a charm, but a few extra steps to import into BaseCamp and upload.

          Ron,

          I am going to try to use the MyRoute app connector and see if the waypoints are properly loaded. If they don’t, what I do like about the MyRoute-app is that it is portable and has mobile options. Soon I will replace my GPS with my iPad on my bike haha. I will let you know how the MyRoute app connector works and if it plays friendly with route points. Otherwise, my workaround is to import to BaseCamp.

            Hey John,

            Called today for reservation in Kingman but they didn’t have our group in the ‘system’ yet. Manager of the hotel is in tomorrow after 10:30. I will see if I can help sort out the group rate so folks can book. I booked at the Route 66 Motel for 77/night.

            Thanks,
            B

                      Erasmo,

                      I need to back out this weekend. I have to be in Europe next week and will be flying out Saturday. Have a great ride!

                            Chris,

                            Oh so true and I was hoping to catch some hell for my smart ass comments. πŸ™‚ Looking very forward to this weekend boys and girls! :d

                              Who says we are the ride to eat club? πŸ™‚ I can already hear my gut getting fatter.

                              Catching up on the thread, I think if you don’t have one and are not part of the geezer club for park passes, I already paid mine off in visits but it really does depend on how many times you think you will visit. I think it is worth it. Only 20 years to go for me to join the geezer club for national park passes. Quite possible by then, they will charge me double!

                              I was just checking the weather, and it looks like the rain chances have evaporated. Partly cloudy with a high of 71 and a low of 46. I will keep my frog togs handy regardless.

                                Chris,

                                This looks great! A lot of new roads for me and looking forward to the adventure. πŸ™‚ My National Park Pass is burning a hole in my pocket already.

                                    Hello,

                                    Since for day two I don’t think I will be hiking or exploring the park this year on Saturday, I decided to work up a route to Monterey via Hollister if anyone is interested in taking that route with me. GPX and PDF attached. This loop looks to be about 190 miles round trip.

                                      Steve,

                                      I am going to call Panamint springs this weekend and find out if more than one tent per spot, but I think it is one tent per. Saturday night looks like a win already w/no reservations required.

                                        What a difference from last year! From 4 to 40 – gotta love it. Looking forward to it!

                                            well I have already had the flat tire for the ride. Good thing I was checking my tires tonight!
