Annual Spring Mojave Run 2011

i will bring my tamborine and james will bring his triangle...

 

Lol. I'll bring my cow bell.

 

ok I'll bring my accordion...LOL

 

Ed-

Don't worry about bringing any instruments. You'll be asleep by 7pm.

 

OK. Sounds good. Im running the ome kit with top plate spacer. Some more questions, (for the wife), what is the toilet situation like at the campsite, and this may be a stupid question, but there's no problem with just the plastic 5 gal gas cans, or do I need the metal jerry cans? Thanks, I just don't want to assume anything.

 

The toilet at camp is clean and comes with TP. the campground also has clean water that you pump at your camp. I also carry a portable toilet to use when we're driving in the desert...just in case. anyone is welcomed to use it.

 

what Johnnie said... they are your typical enclosed outhouses... i suggest bringing a bright lantern with you when using it at night...

its essentially a hole in the ground with a toilet seat over it... the campgrounds are maintained by the county and very clean.. i always bring my own toilet paper and wipes... the campgrounds host a lot of families, so its safe...

my snoring typically keeps the wild animals at bay except for any mule deer in heat....

oh, and as official notice, we will have our resident sheriff deputy and Johnnie's kids with us, so please try to leave the MEDICAL marijuana at home... plus, the rangers have a way of popping up out of nowhere...

 

as for the gas cans, the plastic ones at Target are fine... they include the safety valve spout too...

i think Target sells the 5 gallon red plastic can for $12

if you want the ATV style plastic cans, i may order a couple... $20 or $25 each...

 

Thanks for the responses. As for the gas cans, im good but thanks. Im no stranger to camping but the wife has only been once so im just putting her at ease.

 

cool... i think this time im taking 10 extra gallons instead of 5... gonna pick up another dump can on thursday...

 

I always take 10 extra gallons with me and I can make it back to Barstow without refilling at stateline.

 

i wish i could do that... my guzzler has me filling me up 3times during this trip and that's WITH the extra 5 gallon dump can... hahahaha

 

Damn! I guess my 4 cyl. has it benefits. I just wish I could pack lighter but I have my family with me.

 

Yeah im bringing 10 gal also and a case of water remember how thirsty everyone was for that one run, crazy. You never know.

man I need to get out of LA for a bit.

 

James- I hear you. I'm dying to get out of here.

 

Hey Johnnie Im going to buy a single seat kit with headset and push to talk for the radio. Dont know how much yet going to check at PCI either tommorow or thurs.

 

that's cool. you should get a helmet too!

 

i have always wanted an intercom system too... cant afford it though..

 

not getting an intercom. pci puts together a single seat kit that attaches right to radio. takes place of mic. I have a helmet but only time ive worn it was for night runs in Ocotillo.
