UPDATE! TWO day Mojave Road Run! CA/NV/AZ - ALL are invited!

[rodster]

I'm in for at least Saturday and most likely Sunday. Frauenkommandant is undecided.

To complicate (but not confound) matters, one of my most valuable team members and her husband will be in town then from Chicago. They want to see the desert up close and personal so they may ride with me or we may rent a 4x4 for them to follow in. Or they may just take their rental car to Red Rock and hike.

Any more variables and I might just pack the tent and leave in the middle of the night!

As for the GPS, I don't know your Garmin unit but if you're building your route in MapSource on your PC and them importing it, I can use that map file. I use a WinXP touch screen tablet PC and MapSource for navigation. No big deal on this if it doesn't work out -- I've already mapped the route from 95 to Cima. As long as you know where you're going, that's enough.

I'll be sending a PM your way shortly.

For the most part, yeah. But on the few REALLY narrow ones, I was driving carefully instead of snappin pics.

I've driven through much tighter spots (some full of dead growth) and have yet to get a scratch that can't be waxed out (by the mobile detail guy ) so I probably won't put the shields on. They are a PITA to put on!

No worries, I can scoop you up on 580/5 interchange, there is a Rest stop south of the interchange on I-5. Lets meet there at say 3:30? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

First rest stop south of 580/5 at 3:30. Got it and I'll be there. How will we know each other?? LOL See ya there!

Anybody else all fired up yet? I'm already all antsy!

beavis = GoldBold's "posse". Cool.

[TootsSUT]

It's the KING of broken shovels!!!!!

[HummBebe]

Let me run and get my pic-a-nic basket

[rodster]

I can definitely do the Saturday part of the run. If that's all I do, I'll head north to Vegas from Cima or if there's access to I-15 from the trail, bolt from there.

I'll talk to my wife and see if she can tolerate a night of tent camping. ( Before I do, though, I'll check and see if my inverter can drive the espresso maker. ) Or maybe I'll leave her at home and bring the daughters. Not sure but I'll work on it.

Before the date gets any closer, have you considered changing the dates so it doesn't conflict with the Pismo event? I imagine that's tough competition for the attention of the SoCal crowd.

Alright, that's it ...

My sense of humor sucks and no matter how hard I try, I'm just not funny. I'll not try to be funny any more! </div></BLOCKQUOTE>


But you ARE funny! My God in heaven - the fact that you are staying at The Bun Boy, "Original Home of the Magic Fingers Bed" PROVES you are a brave and funny soul. I was driving down the road today and just out of nowhere said "Bun Boy" out loud and started laughing. I did! It is about the funniest goddam thing I've heard in a long time. Try this. Just say (to yourself but out loud) "I am staying at the Bun Boy Motel." If you can do it and not crack a smile then ther IS something wrong with your sense of humor. Betchya can't do it.

A quick pictorial history of The Mojave Road in 7 parts.....

PART ONE
The Mojave Indians created a "footpath" thru the desolate and difficult desert as a trade route with Indian tribes on the coast. They found enough natural springs to make the trip survivable and, when the white man came, they showed him the way. Ancient Indian petroglyphs (estimated to be 2 to 3,000 years old) are still visible at some of the springs along the way! Men like Smith and Fremont and Carson made the first "maps" and writings of the route. This cooperation between the Mojave's and the white men would not last long. It would become a very dangerous journey due to both the harsh conditions - and the Indians who would regret showing us the way....
