Bagstr 288 Posted May 22, 2008 Check out these pictures and tell me if this looks like the connection back from Lost Valley to the Boy Scout Road. Thanks PS, There was a gated road farther west, but it was posted no Motorized Vehicles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PastaPilot 17 Posted May 22, 2008 Doesn't look like much of a road to me. Can you send me coordinates I might be in the area tomorrow or Friday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagstr 288 Posted May 22, 2008 HondaP, N 33 22.5 16 W116 36.5 77 This is a point before the 4 mile post, 3.5- 3.75miles from the Chihuahua pavement. Have fun out there. The weather was fabulous today. Unfortunately, I was in the truck. Dave Down toward the Wash Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PastaPilot 17 Posted May 22, 2008 I don't think I'll get into that area tomorrow. But by the second set of pictures it looks more like a road. When I cross referenced the GPS info it looks like it goes into Johnson Canyon and then comes out on Chihuahua Valley Road. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sandiegoland 0 Posted May 22, 2008 HondaP, N 33 22.5 16 W116 36.5 77 That cut-off will just connect you back to the road you are on further east. I don't know the property situation so I can't comment on riding it. The main dirt road you are on should take you to the camp. That point looks like it's about 6 miles from Lost Valley. The camp is somewhere around N33.359960 W116.569410 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagstr 288 Posted May 22, 2008 Craig, Yes, the Google Map confirms this is the connection shown on Mapsource. The wash is as I saw it. Thanks, Dave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sandiegoland 0 Posted May 22, 2008 Craig, Yes, the Google Map confirms this is the connection shown on Mapsource. The wash is as I saw it. Thanks, Dave I haven't been out the the camp in over 30 years. Do you suppose there is a gate along that main road these days, or do you think it would go through? Would love to take a look out there sometime. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Craig, Re Gates: The Tom Harrison Map shows two locked gates going in and out of ABSP just north of the Scout Camp. At the easterm most boundary of ABSP, there was an open gate Wednesday (SDSU Research Center) I'd guess on Memorial Weekend all the gate will be open. I have posted a ride over @ http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=344155 for Saturday. You are more than welcome to join me in exploring points north of Warners Springs. Could go as far as Toro Peak. Dave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dirt dame 561 Posted May 23, 2008 Boy oh boy! Those pictures look wonderful. Wish I could go,but I gotta work. :clapping: Maybe next weekend I will have a chance to check that stuff out. Might be some weird weather this weekend, after what we got today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagstr 288 Posted May 23, 2008 Explore?? What time? Carguy, You've probably seen the other post but for any others: Depart from ample parking across the street from Lost Valley and Hwy79 0900 Saturday, May 24. Gas available in Warners Springs. Anyone else? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sandiegoland 0 Posted May 23, 2008 Can't do Saturday. Santa Rosa Truck Trail looks like a good explore!! Look forward to seeing some photos...

Hmmm, will have to give that a shot sometime when I'm up that way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagstr 288 Posted May 24, 2008 Carguy, Are you there? What do you think? I am trying to decide whether to join Spaugh in the Dez or stick with my plan.(Because of the possible rain) I am happy to show up at Lost Valley and ride the route if you are in. Talk to me.

carguy 1 Posted May 24, 2008 Yo Bagstr, go with Spaugh. I'll play local. Conditions don't get much better than this. Little dirt before the long street ride. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
