bsham 9 Posted December 14, 2017 Heading to Death Valley on a big bike for a couple of days. Leaving 0700 Monday, returning Wednesday. Reserved a site at Furnace Creek for Mo/Tu nights, so sleeping in a tent both nights. Taking back roads to get there. Plan on some dirt... Titus Canyon, Aguereberry, maybe some Saline Valley. Weather looks really nice. Post or PM if you would like to go. Brian Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Riding a Tenere. Heading East from Ramona to Mecca, then North through Joshua Tree and Mojave Preserve. Day 1 looks kinda tight on time... want to catch the Artists Drive by the golden hour. Could meet up later or at camp if you like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oracle 195 Posted December 26, 2017 Brian, I'm pretty sure you passed me on highway 78, just before Santa Ysabel. Black Yukon with a flat bed trail and 4 bikes on it. I was heading out to Ocotillo Wells for a day ride with my kids. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
