Eric, Steve,
Text or call me when you arrive in Sonora. Kellie and I would like to joint you for dinner.I will joint you on the Sonora and Ebbetts passes.
I’ll be joining the group on Saturday. If anyone is camping, you’re welcome
to camp at our house in Confidence. We’re 12 miles up the 108, on the Saturday route.I’m registered for the 49er. My place is available for anyone looking to split the route up to Or back from Quincy.
So ye all, What day are you all arriving in Mariposa? I may not arrive till Friday night. I need you to save me space for my sleeping pad.
Karl, I’m very interested in your bass lake route. I got my GS1600 ready!
I’m packed up and leaving Thursday as inclement weather is expected crossing the Sierra on the 88 Friday. Going to hit the tables in Reno Thursday night. Hopefully I have a few bucks left to pay for the campsite. Looking forward to seeing you all!
Camp fires should be allowed. I live in the Sierras and we’ve been allowed to burn since November.
I’m in for this ride. Not sure if I’ll camp or motel.
Anyone open to sharing a double room at that glorious Panamint Springs Resort?
I am planing on doing this ride. I’ll meet you all up in Moro Bay on Friday night. I suggest Taco Temple for dinner.
I have 4 campsites at Indian Cove Campground that I will be canceling on Tuesday. If anyone wants the the campsites let me know. $20/night.
Chris put a lot of effort into this weekend, I was totally looking forward to it. Next year!
Cheers!
Sorry to hear that you & Sharon will not make it. Our campsites are prime time! No worries about the campsite fees, the club’s reserve is funded. I may need a contribution for the firewood. Cheers!
Mark’s assessment of Indian Cove is accurate. The main campground road loop is paved, but many pot holes. The unsaved parts around the sites are well packed decomposed granite and should be no problem for any MC. Water is at the main gate 1 mile away at the campground entrance.
The Joshua Tree Inn is not in the National Park.
If our ride enters the park, a fee is required or a N.P. annual pass.
5 campers are confirmed:
– Karl and Sharon (large tent site 94)
– Jacob Furgatch
– Bill Allen
– John CrittendenSince Karl and Sharon are in one tent, we should be able to accommodate 11 campers.
There is room for 5 -6 more campers.
You campers won’t be disappointed with the campground, it is absolutely stunning. You may not want to leave.
Kellie and are hoteling it at the Marriott in 29 Palms, so I hope we can have a fire!
Campers,
I am camping at Joshua Tree this weekend and was able to scout our sites that are reserved.Indian Cove Campground, located on 29Palms Highway, Hwy 62. About 6 miles west of 29Palms and 12 miles east of the Joshua Tree Inn. The campground is not in the main park area, so National Park fees are not assessed.
We have 4 sites that will accommodate 10 campers, their tents and MC’s. While the sites have an occupancy limit, the host does not seem to enforce the limits. As long as the MC’s fit in the parking.
Please use this forum thread to claim your space and tent size. I will need 4 to volunteer their names to add to the reservation as the main occupant, as I will not be camping.
Site # 23 has occupancy for 4, 4 small tents and 4 MC’s.
Site # 28 has occupancy for 2, 2-small tents and 2 MC’s.
Site #93 has occupancy for 1 small and 1 larger tent and 2 MC’s
Site #94 has occupancy for 4, 2 larger and 2 small tents.
The above are published occupancy numbers. Sites 93/94 are connecting sites and can be good for a group fire or gathering and perhaps exceeding the occupancy.
All the sites also have some space for a small tent in the parking area.
I define small tents as 2-3 man and large as a 4 man.
The campground only has port-a-potties. Running water is available at the main gate. All the sites offer great views; you won’t be disappointed. There is a grocery store in 29Palms.
Check-in at the main entrance is not necessary, you can go directly to the sites. Vehicle tags are not needed.
Firewood is not sold at the campground and they is no store. Supplies can be found in 28Palms.
Cost for the camp sights are $40 each($160 total). With full 10 person occupancy, $16 each.
Again, please use this forum thread to claim your space. I will need 4 to volunteer their names to add to the reservation as the main occupant.
