Well looks like walmart is going to be raided of it's 5 gallon gas cans this week. I also got my air compressor at walmart. The slime one for $60. Bobby and I are using that one. It works pretty good and zips up nicely and holds a tire repair kit.

IDK if I'm a few steps ahead of packing, but been talking about maps. DUDE, WHERE YOU GET MAPS FOR THIS PLACE???!!!! I'm going to bring 2 gps with me, but need a paper map for this trail with gps coordinates. It seems like these days paper dont exist.

 

I got my gas cans at pepboys and they are way better. I looked for maps too and found nothing.

I found this for my gps, but still looking for something paper wise. I'll PM Mike and see if he could tell me where I can find a map.

 

Thanks man

 

Sweet man thanks I'll probably pick up another gas can to use. I'm gonna try and pick up a spare Friday.

 

Will a tom tom be ok as far as Gps and a paper map?

 

I got my paper folding map from Amazon. Made by rand mcnally or some other national brand. I can see its use in an emergency but I didn't look at it once the whole trip.

 

Can a bone stock 07 prerunner handle this??? If so I'm down

 

I think you will be ok just go around the hard stuff or try it. we can always tow you out. Come on out and have some fun.

 

I'm easily convinced Dennys at 7 am off main st in hesperia saterday morning

 

Cool, see you at the Denny's

 

For those who are looking for maps, barnes and Nobel might have something or maybe even a AAA travel place. Just guessing tho. I'm gonna stop by there tonight and check. I'll report back.

 

Ok some good news. I went to a small shop called nomad ventures here in temecula and they had a map if mojave national preserve. I'm not too sure if that's exactly where we're going since the actual mojave desert is huge lol

 

hmm that is pretty sweet. Did you get a map Adam? Mike got back to me about a map and I got some gps coordinates to work with. Oh not trying to kick anyone off the list, but I heard from Mike that if me have a group of 7 or more we need a permit to be out there. It's more like dont let the rangers see a big group of us or worst case we split up in 2 groups if this trip gets pretty big. My race radio will go 50 miles so we can split up a pretty good distance.

 

if you got some offroad experience that would be good, but make sure you can put up this list. Some of the stuff you'll be fine without because there is a pretty large group going

- Race radio
- GPS
- Map of Mojave Desert
- 10 gallons extra gas
- Firewood
- Matches/lighters
- Tent
- Sleeping bag
- Lanterns/flashlights
- Food/drink to last 3 days
- Toilet paper
- Camera
- Spare parts
- Full size spare tire (at least 1)
- Set of wrenches in Standard and Metric
- At least $20 in cash in small denominations (for campgrounds)
- First aid kit

 

Ya man I picked one up at nomad ventures of Ynez here in temecula. It's only of mojave national preserve tho.

 

Been going out to ocotillo wells sinse I was 6. I have all but a race radio, and maps I have a magelin gps

 

That's good to know. Where do we go to get a permit? If we can let's try to get one if not let them try to catch us.
