Crawdaddy 96 Posted May 12, 2009 This sounds great I will be camping in my van somewhere in the area(any other campers out there?) and bringing a dual sport Just as in years past, there's a ADVRider/camping event going on the same weekend just outside of Bishop.....I think SDLand has participated in this "un-rally" before.....looks like a fun crowd..... 5th Annual WMRS Ride: http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=458787 I've never paid much attention to it because I've always taken my road bike not my dual sport or ADV bike......Mammoth is only ~40 miles of slab away.......there are also some fun "dirty" ways to get between Bishop and Mammoth.....

Is there any chance you know any of the locals? It would be great to hook up with them I have friends who live full time in Lake Tahoe but not Mammoth Lakes........any/all are welcome to camp with the ADV crowd in Bishop........that might be your best bet.......there are also a few campgrounds in Mammoth Lakes right as you enter town if you want a more organized/less primitive setting......I'm pretty sure the one adjacent to the McDonalds has a pool/spa/showers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

don johnson 0 Posted July 12, 2009 I would love to go this year. Does anyone campout or does everyone stay in hotels? I'm new to this whole thing:) I camp out at Mammoth quite often there are campgrounds on the right just as you come into town. I like New shady rest best for location Old shady rest is also good. you can reserve at WWW.RECURATION.GOV or try first come grab a spot. for more premitive camping there are quit a few camp sites on the road down by devels post pile you can usualy get a spot there if everythimg else is taken. I plan to be there someware but will be riding DH bike on slopes mostly and hope to hook up for some MC riding 450 EXC type. things_go_bad.bmp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
