ADV Bum 205 Posted July 31, 2010 I am going to try and make this one. Are we all sleeping in the cabin or is it the meeting hall? If it is easy to get there, I will bring the toyhauler. Do you know if we can do green sticker as well as dualsport. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dsfox 0 Posted July 31, 2010 I am going to try and make this one. Are we all sleeping in the cabin or is it the meeting hall? If it is easy to get there, I will bring the toyhauler. Do you know if we can do green sticker as well as dualsport. Road is about 6 miles, dirt....not "terrible"...some water bars, etc....I've taken my motorhome over worse, but that is all relative,.....I'll call the Natl forest regarding the toyhauler onsite, but a vehicle should be a vehicle.... it would count as 2 vehicles (truck/hauler)..but that may not be an issue?..we can only have 14 max onsite..... also, Johnnybags will have his "yellow post" campsite down the road, so perhaps you could camp there, and just do meals with us?... No green sticker bikes - plated only (should have posted that, sorry).....this is true for all but small portions of big bear (Cactus flats area on East side) and Crab flats to pinnacles on Northwest side......lets stay in touch as plans progress....

curayjusdad 0 Posted July 31, 2010 I'll put it on the calendar, but that is the same weekend of the MX final at Pala . My son will most likely want me to take him to that instead . Sounds like a real blast and if I can't make this time, we will just have to do it again. Thanks for organizing some fun. Rob.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mistress of the dual 1 Posted July 31, 2010 Johnnybags has informed me that there are NO fires allowed at this time. I would guess that the bbq grills are still OK. BaldBeemer and I will also be bringing a propane grill for anyone to share. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crawdaddy 96 Posted July 31, 2010 My mother flys in on the 8th and Jarrett should be back in town by the 9th......I may drive up for a day with Jarrett and Caitlynn on Sat or Sun but we wouldn't be staying the night.......this will be the first time Jarrett's been home since he enlisted in December, he only has a couple of weeks, he'll be in high demand, and I'm not sure when he'll be back again (he reports to Scott AFB first week of Oct)......so we'lll likley be limited to a day ride......

dsfox 0 Posted July 31, 2010 Johnnybags has informed me that there are NO fires allowed at this time. I would guess that the bbq grills are still OK. BaldBeemer and I will also be bringing a propane grill for anyone to share. I spoke with the rangers info line yesterday, and she said YES to fires in the rings...but no worries either way...cooking with Propane would be MOST AWESOME ANYWAY!....So lets just plan on that...I also have a couple camp stoves for coffee...A MUST in my book.... And Trophy, thanks for the Pics inside...I didn't take any of those....a perfect set up in the cabin might be a cot, sleeping bag and mosquito net hung from the rafters.....don't know if mosquitos will be an issue, but I always plan for it, and take it from there....the back 2 cabins are dirt floors, but could even set a small tent up inside with air mattress ......many options....but put all the SNORERS....in the same area.... I think we could have unlimited people there during the day....because passers by can just ride in and park bikes....so only limit is the number sleeping.... Bob, you probably could just pull in at night no big deal....we'll work it all out.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
