Hey guys, I am thinking a hotel room near Death Valley, not many options and the options there are are expensive.
I wanted to ask how far Panamint Spring is from where you guys will be camping, I might bet a doun=ble room if anyone is interested in splitting and Panamint Springs is not too far.

If Stovepipe Wells cabins are full try the Longstreet Inn & Casino just over the Nevada line in Amargosa Valley. It’s 38 miles to Furnace Creek, about 40 minutes. The Club stayed there on a ride about six years ago. From Furnace Creek go east on 190, north on 127 which becomes 373 at Nevada line.

Add one more to this ride, and hotel. A buddy of mine from the New England Riders will be in town and will join us.

Slight change in plans. My buddy from New England won’t be able to make it. I’m still planning to be there. Just need to decide on whether I’m going on Fri or Sat.

Hey Jesse – just starting to figure out how the Death Valley trip works. First time for me, so I hope you don’t mind if I have a couple questions. When are you planning to go up and come back? I understand some are going as early as Thurs and coming back on Monday, though most are prob Fri-Sun. Are you planning to meet the rest of the South Coasters at the campground every morning for each day’s ride? Are you also planning to do all the meals at the campground? And, did you register already at the Airheads website? I had no idea that one had to register, but Brandon mentioned it at the meeting yesterday
-
Hey Joe, I hope you had a good weekend. This will also be my first Death Valley trip. I have not registered with the airhead people and I wonder what good it does for us if we are hoteling it? I will do Friday to Sunday and I’m not sure if I will go to the campground to participate in their rides, it’s kind of a haul from the hotel. Eating at the casino might be a better option and definitely easier.One of the reasons I wonder if registration is a good idea.
Maybe Brandon or one of the others can fill in the blanks. Sorry I’m not a good source of info on this topic. -

Hey guys,
Catching up on the thread. Rick, sounds good. The group going with me is leaving flows at 9 Friday and should be to Ridgecrest by noon. Want to pick a spot? I was going to make it a game day decision.
Bill, sorry to hear but glad to make it a proper one for you and a speedy recovery.
Guys, the group with me will be slow. Reason I mention this is many of us are going to be riding older airheads. We have smaller fuel tanks despite our massive engines.
Keep that in mind. Fuel is our friends as are stretch brakes for the ergonomics. A few years modern bike sure is a Cadillac.

Hey Jessie. I could post one of my old ones but it’s pretty willy nilly. Top of the thread has the deets for meetup and general direction.

Latest update from the ABC:
We have rides mapped out, and people who have volunteered to lead rides. Watch the bulletin boards at the registration area.
Scotty’s Castle is open BUT you need to get tickets ahead of time. Check the visitors center for details.
The T shirts have arrived and are spectacular. If you pre-ordered that is a good thing.
We may have keys to the pool at the registration desk. Bring your bathing suit!
