Sorry guys, had another wrench thrown in the works, another major change in plans....I won't be here, leaving Tombstone tomorrow, Friday the 5th. Have to head to the northeast.

Hope you're leaving the rig with a friend and flying back.........I would NOT want to be on the roads, or in a plane for that matter, in the Northeast right now given all the snow/storm activity.......

So many options, so little time. I’m stuck with Fri thru Sun. I’m a big boy today hough and can find my way home if y’all want to continue on further. 

Many of these suggestions are new territory for me so I’m happy to go anywhere. My only prerequisite would be needing to know if there’s much sand. If so I would throw the K60’s back on. 

I installed the new Seat Concepts last night and am itching for high mile day for testing.

No good by to Randy, but still a ride:

My Idea. Ramona 78- Brawley-8 Yuma-Gila Bend- Orange Pipe cactus- 1st night- Kitt Peak- Tucson- Florence 77-Globe- Roosvelt dam-Tortila flat (Beer stop)-Maricopa-Gila Bend-Home. 2nd night west of Phoenix. Pirate camping, total 1050 miles with a lot Highway. No special dirt tires needed.

Open to other suggestion. but try to stay low in the desert, not into freezing my Bud off.

JaJa If we can do it I want to take everyone to Sheeps Crossing and camp on the river.  The place is the bomb, I like your plan just want to adjust it by about 60 miles.  Will discuss with you tomorrow

We are all a go on the 12th,  Since we are only going to have three days of riding because some have to be back Sunday we have decided to camp first night at Picacho, Saturday, full day at Kofa,  Saturday night camp RedCloud, Sunday home after Breakfast.  Do you want us to pick you up in Borrego? Les say around 9:30 or 10 Friday?
