How cool is that?!?!?! :ninja: Hopefully we won't be too shot out from LA-B-V the weekend before.... I WAS worried about that... If I'm still sore from LA-B-V and your "after LA-B-V" ride, then I'll just play "pit tootsie" for Mickey on Sunday... If not, want to do the "team race"?????

Crawdaddy 96 Posted November 19, 2008 Erick - No need to worry about getting back to the camping spot with your truck.......a friend of mine was out at our usual camping spot this past weekend.....see e-mail below: Chris, Just came back from Superstition this past weekend. Couple of things: the road in is in very good shape, all the way to the "dune." The Blue Angles were not out, but we got a first-hand look at active bombing (1st time I've seen this, picture attached). Also, the INS tower is back, but in a new location. The road to the Blu Inn is very rutted :-( Dave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ShocknAwe 0 Posted December 4, 2008 xxxinsd and I will probably ride from Plaster City to Crawdaddy Campground Friday night. Blame any and all missing food on desert animals. Chris, u got extra bunks? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TrophyHunter 15 Posted December 4, 2008 Spent T-giving at SS. Wheeler was 1/3 washboard on Sunday heading out. It also pooled with the rain and got pot-holed in a few spots so keep ur eyes open It deteriorated from Friday in to Sunday out. That is unless they grade it after heavy weekends. Either way, the things a freeway and there's plenty of room to go around. Wish I could come out but our niece has her 13th B-Day on Sat. Dirt will always be there, turnin' 13 won't. Enjoy!

It also pooled with the rain and got pot-holed in a few spots so keep ur eyes open It deteriorated from Friday in to Sunday out. I thought it was pretty amazing how quickly the road when to hell, it was really nice when we showed up and felt like the motorhome was going to disintegrate when we left. Wish I could make it back again this weekend, but I'm turning an IH into scrap metal. Have fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joliet 0 Posted December 10, 2008 How about a ride report? Did you get the radiator fixed to ride? Any pics of flaming household items (maybe in members section). Thanks again for hooking us up with water, gas and radio frequency programing. Ken Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
