Bagstr 254 Posted March 23, 2017 The First Post has been updated: Fuel available - Map updates Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tntmo 831 Posted March 23, 2017 Thanks for the updates and the possibility of fuel...that was my biggest concern if I was dual sporting out there, so I may ask to buy some fuel from you. Otherwise, I have my MRE's selected, the flask is filled and I might even look over the bike once before I head out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At the trailhead you will find a White Honda Ridgeline with a Joe Hauler rail out back. I will have 5 gal of fuel in the bed for your use. Hopefully at least one more will bring another jug. If people need fuel, I can bring another jug- just post up here. The truck spot is about 15 miles from the Chevron station on the south side of 8 in Ocotillo. For those of you on short timelines, I'll be leaving camp and heading back fairly early- I'm on a short leash Sunday- so I can guide those that might need it. Reminder- bikes must stay parked within 10' of the main trail- don't piss off Bagster : ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Covered in Dust 155 Posted March 23, 2017 I'm riding out from Escondido so I might need a gallon but I would not be heading down to the 8. I think I should be OK as long as the station up by Palomar is open. I don't plan on leaving Esco until 2 and will probably take Pinyon so I'll probably be in camp around 5ish.

Bagstr 254 Posted March 24, 2017 You Folks "On the Fence"; Load your trucks, fill up your tank and hit the road. We are expecting you to show! We will make it work out. Bags Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildwood 11 Posted March 24, 2017 Off the fence. I'm in. Riding in from Descanso, I have a 120 mi. range and will be pushing it to make camp, then get to a gas station in Ocotillo or Borrego. If their will be gas at the trucks, that will be comforting. Happy to compensate the donor of gas handsomely. planning to arrive late afternoon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oracle 182 Posted March 25, 2017 I'm skunked again. Probably won't make another ride until my kids go to college. I'm totally booked with dance competitions, swim meets, baseball games, and scouting events. Have fun Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tntmo 831 Posted March 25, 2017 I'm going out tomorrow anyway. Going to head up to Black Canyon Road, Mesa Grande and on toward Warner Springs and Lost Valley Road. Probably camp north of there somewhere. Then may explore Thomas Mountain or Idylwild and then back home the next day. If it's too windy, going to stake down the tent and drink more.

wildwood 11 Posted March 25, 2017 I think we were snookered by the National Weather Service. Current conditions are no where near the forecast in Anza Borrego. Winds currently at 3 mph, gusts 4 mph. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MacDuncan 127 Posted March 26, 2017 Dag Nab, I cancelled my lake martinez-picacho loop last week due to possible 3 digit temps, and cancelled this week's martinez-picacho loop, to be followed by a borrego camp out, due to 2 digit wind speed.... Grrrrr, I should be worried that I might be on the doorsteps of becoming a fair weather rider!!!! Good job Tntmo, I will loop to somewhere in the morning from Packards no matter what conditions with an eye open for you cruising by. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
