You got me damb it . First cold pitcher on me .

Tomorrow.  Great Escape,  Ocotillo.

When I first saw the opening pic on my phone I thought it was someplace else and that was what my reply was based on.  Later, saw it on the big screen PC monitor and knew I was way off, never been there or even a clue.  Then I saw the train tracks...narrowed it down.  Google Earth is my best friend.  What you doing way up there?

Why post something if you're not willing to say where it is?  Kind of a dick move. I thought the point was to share.

I prefer the term "big huge swinging ....".

Because i am one and it really is , just ask Kenny.  It is very impressive. He may even have a pic in his phone. I use it as a counterbalance  while riding technical terrain on the big thumpers.

First rule of dual sport . Cover your tracks and never ever tell someone where a hidden trail is. It's OK to show them if they are riding DS with you, but never ever tell them.

The reason you don't ever tell someone is because it will end up on line then every yahoo with a jeep or a 12 gauge will go out there and ruin it for everyone and it will be shut down by the tree hugging eco terrorists. ( above photo is proof, as you can see the whole place is burnt down).

Rule #2  always buy the first round of pitchers at the watering hole with your buddies to get the beer flowing from the tap, regardless of your financial situation.

Rule # 3 . There is no rule #3 just enjoy yourself

I don't agree with you rules at all. Beer and bike does not match.

This is a recurring theme.
Lets go for a ride, no details on where to meet at.
Went on a ride, no details on where you went.

Not everyone has the luxury of being able to get out when ever they want or know the areas well enough so posts like this are discouraging to new members on the forum that might want to go places but don't know where or how to get to them.

If you want to be just part of your clique then you are certainly managing to meet those expectation, if you want to help grow the site and members you need a different approach.

just my .02

Agreed.  If you want to share a ride report with the forum, then share the ride report.  If you don't want to share it with the general public or a majority of the members, then you can become a supporting member and share the report with a small audience in the "members only'" forum where there is a sub forum called "Special trails, Reports and Destinations".  I post some of my rides there, because the trails aren't frequented by other riders much, (or they may be on private land that I have been invited to ride on by the owner) and I'd like to keep it that way.

I would have to agree with the internet posting can ruin areas.

What was the original post?  " Good luck finding this spot buried in a CA forest"  Sounds like a challenge to me.  If you don't wanna play, don't.  But don't complain about us that do.

Because in a nutshell over the years this community of riders has become less communal, and more clique.
I would like to get out and ride more of the local stuff that is interesting but don't necessarily know where they are, so when a post is put up alluding to a good ride it is a disservice to everyone else that is on here that might want to experience it themselves.
