Thanks for the smoking deal on the boots!

I'm retired. You could have paid less to have me ride it home for you....😂

Nice to have more options

I'll take them if it doesn't work out with Dave (or he wants to relinquish his rights). I'll be in Carlsbad tomorrow. Text me at 760-703-6877 if it comes together. LB

Onx shows the entire road is an easement. Onx is very accurate. I'm 95% certain that gate is illegal. The property owner on the west side of the road where the gate is located (based on Shafted's GPS coordinates) is owned by Viora Family Trust. The property on the east side is owned by Gallistel Family Trust. I would assume one or both of those property owners are responsible for this BS.

Chris Crawford has a 500x with the Rally Raid set up. He just did a section of the TAT. I'm sure he'd be happy to answer any questions you have about them.

Yes, there is plenty of riding from Lake Arrowhead. Go west to Silverwood Lake area. Go east to Big Bear (no need to truck up there). Most of the trails are fairly well marked, including difficulty ratings, east, moderate, expert. US Forest Service will have maps or you can pull it up on-line. II always download the forest service map in PDF to my phone for areas I ride. I'd send you GPX files if I had them for that area but I've never had the need to use GPS up there. Just find a trailhead and go explore. California Trails maps will have everything.

Cool ride, Kelly. When we talked, I didn't know the ride you were planning was in honor of your buddy Joe. My sincerest condolence for the lost of your buddy. Glad some of my input was beneficial, even though not all of it was followed...🤣 . But like I always tell my kids when we get to a section slightly above their level.... if you never try it, you'll never make it.

Hold this for 30 minutes for me and I'll text you.

It's a dedicated phone for GPS only. No cell service. The apps available these days make cell phone based GPS navigating much easier to use then stand alone units...no need for Basecamp ever again. You want to upload a track to your phone. One click and it's done. Want to share tracks with friends, click on track, click share, send. Want to see what "public" tracks are in the ara you are riding...one click. Want to download satellite view for an area you are going be in....drag a box around the area and click download...bam. There are several brands of ruggedized phones that are made to military specs...water proof, heat proof, drop proof...etc...for $150. Buy Giai or Rever or any other GPS app for $25 and your life just got a lot easier. There is a full on thread about it in this forum if you want to read more.

How about the cable. Have you tried another? They go bad frequently. I converted from Garmin/Basecamp to a ruggedized cell phone with Gaia. Life is so much easier.

When you deleted the birds eye file, did you get a warning message? I vaguely remember there being an issues with deleting those files, but it's been a few years since I've wasted my time with Garmin and Basecamp. Were those files on the SDcard or the Garmin? I do what Randy suggested and then insert a brand new Sdcard, connect to basecamp, and start from scratch.

That's one of them fancy direct injection motors, Chris. I hear they are bad ass but don't last very long...😂

Goofy, you are hard core. Have an awesome trip. Standing by for more...

Dang, going to miss it. I'll be out on a week long ride starting the 23rd. Sorry, RAD
