X-country-Rider 0 Posted February 17, 2012 Stagecoach to Anza...and beyond. Maybe we stop near Idyllwild. Blake, You mentioned on ADVRIDER you wanted to start in Julian? Should we start at the Santa Ysabel gas staion? I think that could be a good meet up spot. We should also discuss if we still want to stay at Butterfield or maybe disperse camp up along grapevien/culp/jasper? I heard they have a campground but then we have a wood/beer problem.

bmw ktm 0 Posted February 17, 2012 Must have wood and beer! Maybe we can do a wood drop with the trucks a day or 2 in advance, I would even leave a couple of cases out there. Camping in the desert is always better than camping in a campground. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Signed, Grumpy Old Fart. Suck it up Jarhead. If I can handle it, so can you. It is a campground but does not have fire pits or running water. We could set up camp and do a beer/wood/warwe run to the store down the road in Ranchita. It has out houses so no cholla will get your tender parts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ADV Bum 205 Posted February 18, 2012 A couple of people could carry some of these split a smaller weber bbq and you can use it as fire pits everyone carry 1 or 2 logs You guys are talking big bikes on fire roads. Should not be difficult. I was carry a bag of wood on this trip. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
X-country-Rider 0 Posted February 18, 2012 There is just more obstacles when you camp in Anza Borrego without fire pits. Butterfield is just easier and has hotubs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

X-country-Rider 0 Posted February 18, 2012 The more i think about it Oct seems like a long time. What do you guys think of a late May ride and camp? Have you guys looked at the proposed route? Feedback is every welcome. I have it starting in Ramona and ending in Hemet. There's a couple roads near Anza that i haven't found much info on so if your familiar with the area check out the route and chime in. This one should be big bike friendly. We also need a name and since this has grown bigger than my ideas i just don't want to make one up myself. I'm thinking something like Ramona to Idyllwild Big Bike Adventure Route. http://www.dualsportmaps.com/?link=102611 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bdarling 0 Posted February 18, 2012 San Diego Adventure Hijinks, Round 2. :-) Your route looks good. I'm camping and my iPhone isn't the best tool for viewing the map, but how are you getting us from Descanso out to the Stage Route? Is that a trail? Also, the end of May is when I'm doing the 9-day Utah ride. http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=764019 -B Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From Descanso we go Old Hwy 80 to Pine Valley and then take Pine Creek Rd a single lane paved sometimes steep but interesting rd to Mt. Laguna. Theres a dirt offshoot rd that maybe an option but its gated right now. Awesome views looking down into Noble Canyon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

June in the desert seems a bit late in the season to me for that. I'd prefer late April myself, even then it could be pretty warm. Just my .02 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
