Would love to join you Jacob, but will be out of town. Maybe the following month?
Count me in also Karl
I will be riding out Saturday instead of Friday also, so I can attend an event at my granddaughters school on Friday. See y’all at Starbucks!
Thanks Mark !!
Thanks Rick, I’ll follow up with Mark.
DOH! Can any member upload their pics to the gallery Rick? I will certainly remember that next time if so. We were talking around the campfire and came up with the idea to collect the pics in one place, but never even touched on using this feature of our site.
didn’t mean to come across as fishing, but thanks Karl
Thanks for the post Bikram, I hope everyone enjoyed the trip. It was fun hanging out with you on this trip!!
Sorry to say I will be out of State on this date John.
You’ll be missed David 👍🏻
*** THAT’S ALL FOLKS ***
This has been a wonderful reminder to me of why I enjoy Butler paper maps .. but I digress. I am removing old versions from this thread to avoid adding confusion. I will not be updating this again … like it, don’t … use it, don’t … edit your copy, don’t … it’s all up to you from now on 🙂 Below will be the route I will be leading from.
Here is a repeat of some of the important info that was contained in my earlier post that I deleted:
* Looks like we will have between 20-25 attendees
* We average 240 miles a day with opportunities for additional miles for those who want them
* I have set up each day as 9:00AM start times. After day 1, we have some flexibility if the group would like to adjust the start time, we just want to be cognizant of losing daylight and falling temperatures with sunset. For Day 1, I ask for timeliness please, I don’t want to impact any potential meetups in Randsburg.
* 9:00 AM – Kickstands up from Flo’s Airport Diner at the Chino Airport.
* If you plan to eat a good breakfast @ Flo’s, please arrive early enough (probably an hour) to not hold up our departure
* Address is 7000 Merrill Ave, ChinoA couple of other things to keep in mind:
* No cell coverage is normal in DV
* I do carry a satellite communicator for emergency response in the event we need help but don’t have coverage
* Weather projection is 60-64 highs and 39-40 lows
* Not many restaurant options .. sorry to the foodies in the group
* Not a ton of gas stations so use the old dirt biking in Baja mantra … if you have any doubt “don’t pass gas”I cant wait to get off this computer and back to beautiful DV, sit around the campfire with y’all, ride some GREAT twisites ..
FINAL UPDATE (no, I mean it … FINAL :- )

Yeah Brandon, the wise guy pass (you are living dangerously and significantly outnumbered with the ageism bs :- ) went up 800% this year from $10 to $80 … I don’t see one in your future 😂
Friday

* Lunch … 12:30 Esparza Family Restaurant 13223 Main St, Trona
* Dinner 6:00pm @ Panamint Springs RestaurantSaturday

* Dinner 6:00 pm @ Crowbar Cafe & Saloon in ShoshoneSunday

* Lunch in Joshua Tree ?Oh ye of little faith 👍🏻
We need a “like button” HAHAHAHAHA Karl 👍🏻
Bill is correct, it is an honor system at Death Valley, not so at Joshua Tree.
Thanks Brandon and you raise a good point. I should probably remind everyone that there is a $20 per motorcycle fee for a 7 day pass to enter Death Valley (I believe Joshua Tree is a separate $20 per motorcycle fee for a 7 day pass to enter, if you plan to ride it on the way home.) YEAH, YEAH, YEAH … I can already hear all you lucky pups who are 62 or older with lifetime passes to all parks .. come September, I’m in the club!!!
Thanks Ron, Bill R. mentioned the same thing to me about enjoying Artists Dr 🙂 I think it has been closed on my last few visits, so I am anxious to ride it also … not to mention Butler Maps highlighted it with yellow, their best color for M/C roads.
Chuck,
Dan Burtt had asked me about accommodations a week or two back. I sent him an email just now letting him know of your offer.Got a room at the Raddison … they wouldn’t honor the block price for Friday, but I was able to get it close to the price with an AAA discount.
