stingray 0 Posted October 4, 2007 Hey Papaalex, I am interested in that trip this weekend. What day are you thinking? Friday after noon, Sat, or Sunday. I could be up for any of them. I did a quick search and it looks like about 70 miles to the gas in OC. wells - Is that about right - total trip around 135 - 140 miles? Name a time and place and I will plan on meeting you there!

Joliet 0 Posted October 4, 2007 As the crow flies it is about 29 miles. I think it would be safe to double that if you are going to play in the dunes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm thinking of this Saturday...I do not think it is more than 50 miles one way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stingray 0 Posted October 4, 2007 I could do anytime on saturday. I will keep an eye out to see who else is interested and a time to meet. So, I guess the google street mileage probably isnt the best thing for estimating these trips huh... wasn't really paying attention to where the route it showed was, just a total mileage from A to B to make sure my tank could make it - can you tell i am new to this???

Ride-Orange 2 Posted October 4, 2007 As the crow flies it is about 29 miles. I think it would be safe to double that if you are going to play in the dunes. Good advice, but I would say 2 1/2 times since that soft sand will suck the life out of your fuel range. Can't make it this weekend. There's a D38 race staging out of Plaster West, stay safe and have a blast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dirt dame 561 Posted October 4, 2007 Gosh Papaalex, you still haven't gotten enough sand in your bloomers? I will see how things are shaping up for me this Saturday. But it is a long drive to Ocotillo for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
