    I'd love to join this trip, if I get my truck in. Should be delivered around this time or a little before.

    Just spent a week in Death Valley for Thanksgiving. Deep fried a turkey and camped in the Geologist Cabin on Thanksgiving day. We camped at a few other spots as well. We did Titus Canyon, Lippencott, Ballarat, Barker Ranch (made most popular by Charles Manson), Saline Valley, Mengal Pass, Goler Canyon wash, and Racetrack. Wish I could go back and join you guys. Have a great trip! Looking forward to seeing your photos.

    Bless any of you that attempts Chicken Rock. haha

    Few weeks to go. Things still look good. I will prob be cutting out of the bay around noon on thursday to get to camp around 9 or so. Not sure if going north or south yet, will depend on the weather. Will make that decision the week of. I will start a group chat next week so we can finalize everything together.

    What all are we planning on hitting? Tea kettle crossing? Baker ranch? That crater place?

    we will hit tea kettle. Eureka, saline hot springs, lippincott, racetrack, lost burro mine, camp on a protected ridge that may have snow (if we are lucky).

    Baker is the south entrance, and then you get a bunch of pavement mid trip.

    Is anyone passing by Benicia on or before the trip next week? Was hoping someone could pick something up for me at Jerry's shop.

    90% a go for this trip (manager approved my PTO request but said he would give me a final answer wednesday in case they need me to stay local/available).

    Have you sent out the details for the trip yet, @jAndyMendo ?

    Looks like snow in Tahoe during the planned travel time. 8 - 12" during the day. Maybe go south, around the horn instead? It does add 2 hours to the route, so maybe it's worth it to go through south lake?
