Bob Dang - looks like we got our riding in just in time. I thought the rain would've helped things. The FS website confirms it.

tntmo 905 Posted September 6, 2007 It was in the newspaper today about the closure. Hopefully we'll get some rain soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DigDug 0 Posted September 6, 2007 I have never seen McCain Valley closed for fire safety reasons. Maybe I'll take the XR650L out there and pretend like I'm a trials rider!!! Yeah - I can double-blip a 350+ lb dualsport.... NOT !!!! Actually, that might be a good half day ride - Hmmm.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DigDug 0 Posted September 6, 2007 This could put a squish to the night ride? What do ya think? That's still like 3 weeks away. We'd better get to some rain dancing!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joliet 0 Posted September 6, 2007 Hmm... Anyone up for the desert this weekend??? I think it might still be open... It is supposed to be a high of 89 in Campo/Jacumba area and 105 down on the desert floor. I should have a bike up and running by then. I would be up for a ride.

Chief Gunner 2 Posted September 6, 2007 Got a bunch of domestic chores and things to do this weekend but it will start cooling off soon enough for us all to get together in large groups out there in the desert to have some good times. I am looking forward to a great season of riding out there! The desert is the only place besides the many times I have been in the middle of the Pacific Ocean where the night sky, the stars and the air are so clear and bright that it just puts the mind at ease like nothing else.

Ken I'm thinking pretty seriously about dirt dame's idea - McCain Valley/Lark Canyon. Place is like a mini-track, lots of fun and my son can tag along. Then again - if we can swing a full day kitchen pass, Lake Arrowhead is just about the same length of drive from San Marcos. Hmmm... But I really should stop hijacking this thread.
