If you take I8 across then come up 86 then it is probably about even. Especially now with all the houses on north marina. Now you have to do 25 through there instead of 50.

I'm good with bluffs just because thats the only one ive been to... but im fine with either. and it would be dryer if it decides to rain on us....

*zukman* · 10-14-2010, 11:09 AM

The wash is easier for the big motorhomes. If we should encounter inclimate weather the motorhome will have a very rough go with the bluffs. That said we do wash camp. Oh yeah and its 20 minutes closer for us

John_Rock · 10-14-2010, 11:36 AM

I know where the wash is, but I have no clue where the bluffs are.

*mounty71* · 10-14-2010, 12:10 PM

My vote is for the wash.

*carlover* · 10-14-2010, 04:11 PM

i wish i could make it out. I might try to stop by just saturday. Explorer wont be done, but it would be nice to get out there for a bit.

It's a few miles up S-22 a mile or 2 before the big red transmission tower.

I'm good with the wash too then.

Heres a picture of the general location of the two sites I just found from our January run:

John_Rock · 10-14-2010, 08:05 PM

So what's so great about Bluff camp?

From what I remember, Wash camp is fun for night runs.

**Tbars4** · 10-14-2010, 08:14 PM

...Bluff camp is more funner as you have to head out over the nasty stuff in the dark, just to get to the wash..

**Rick** · 10-14-2010, 08:38 PM

Zukman, youll have at least one neighbor

1. For those coming from San Diego it is 20 min closer.
2. There are bathrooms about 1/4mile away that are easy to get to for the ladies that do not have a RV.
3. On really busy weekends you usually do not have a bunch of neighbors up there so it is a bit more peaceful.

Sounds like wash location it is though.

*zukman* · 10-14-2010, 08:59 PM

besides we have the movies the popcorn machine and the ladies room!

Hi guy's. I get home Saturday 23rd from a work trip and might be able to make it on Sunday. Depending how I'm feeling.

Is anyone staying over till Monday? I don't think I'm taking the MH and would probably stay in a Hotel but it depends.
