Annual Spring Mojave Run May 4-6, 2012

IM HERE!

 

Here are some coordintates from the last run.


These are coordinates from Barstow to Stateline. This year we're planning to run it from Laughlin to Barstow so we might hit up these locations in the opposite order.

Lava tubes which is after Soda Dry Lake. If I remember correctly these Lava Tube coordinates are not exact but they get us in the general area. I remember how to get there so we should be able to find this without a problem.

35.155319,-115.790627 - Kelbaker Rd/Aiken Mine Rd.

Aiken Mine Rd will take us to the Lava Tubes.

mmmmmmm Tava Lubes

 

At least this time we wont be searching for them for a half an hour! haha.

 

LOL We went right by them didn't we? Ah good times will be revisited... I better have new tires by this time

 

Ah! I cant wait til I can do that first day run, because i missed it last time

 

it was only an hour and a half and 20 miles of driving to find the under ground tube. lol You know it was a good time and we walked by it 3 times

 

Yup. We even hopped in our trucks to looks for the tubes but it was right under our noses. I think Matt drive about a 1 mile too far.

 

I'm pretty sure we looked at the sign 4 times too and dismissed it! Haha!

 

Hahahahahahaha This shit was funny! Cant wait to get back out there

Gonna be even more fun this time around, if ya know what i mean!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

No i dont know what you mean, Please explain further

 

he has LT

 

Hahahahaha You got it sir!

 

Ill have LT too. I cant believe you got it before me! Lil bitch!

 

Plus we're planning on running from Laughlin to Barstow so it will definitely be different. I'm studying coordinates as we speak trying to keep us on the right paths. It's a bitch.

 

For those that went to Fort Piute on the last run...when we left the canyon after Daniel got water in his engine we had to climb up and down that rocky mountain after that big canyon we discovered. Unfortunately it looks like we're going to have to go up that mountain again to get to the other side.

On the straight away between A and B is where James flew threw the wash and had to pull over and check his chonies.

Point A is Fort Piute, point B is where we have to turn to head up the hill, point C is where we should level out. Last year started at point C and went down the mountain. This year we'll have to go up the mountain.




I think I have our coordinates set up for Laughlin to Fort Piute. After that it's a pretty easy route which we did last year.

 

What is the distance between those points?
Got to make sure everyone will have enough gas hahah.

 

i would love to go with you guys... but i need to save my money for LT.

if any one needs a co pilot. I would be down!!!

 

the distance between those points are about 6 or 7 miles. we'll do a gas check when we get to our first camp site. if we have to we'll run to state line and gas up and head back to camp.

you don't need LT for this trip. I'm not LT and I've done this trip about 5 times. one year we had one do the run on stock dunlop tires but I don't recommend doing that.

 

Well still if I go then I will spend money on gas then I can't save..
