Ok guys I don't know how this thread never got started, but I'm seeing christmas adds on TV, which to means a christmas tree I get to buy and throw in a huge bon fire in a few months!
So when do we want to do the run here, I'd like to see the run get moved back closer to MLK so we can go back to burning the christmas trees, this is really a highlight of this run I think...besides, we have a recored of 14 to beat
Seeing as how I'm having a kid in late Jan. it will be hard for me to make this run, however! I plan to still plan to make a apperence, even if it's just to join in a awsome as always potluck and a nice little campfire

Information about Truck Haven
Truck Haven is a huge playground for off-road vehicles. There are trails for everyone, from mild, to wild. This is a great place to test your driving abilities as well as the capabilities of your Explorer. You can see the kind of fun we've had during previous events by checking out a Trip Report from a previous run
Vehicle damage: There is always a possibility of vehicle damage any time you go offroading. Damage could be to the body, or mechanical.
Normally, the majority of participants camp at our Truck Haven base camp.
There are NO facilities available at Truck Haven. Camping is primitive with no water, toilets or showers available. If you have a porta potty bring it. A 5 gallon bucket with a plastic bag will work well
Bring everything you will need. Everyone is also requested to bring firewoodto add to our traditional BIG campfire. If you can't bring any don't worry about it, but the more we have, the bigger the fire
Bring your own cooking supplies. If you don't have any you can probably share someone else's grill.
There is a small grocery store, a Mexican Restaurant, and a burger shop (Superburger) in Salton City. Both restaurants are very good.
There is gas in Salton City and also at a new truck stop just West of North Marina Drive.
Weather conditions in October usually consist of hot days and cool to cold nights, rain could be present. High winds, and driving dust storms are always possible. Come prepared!
Hotel Accommodations
Here is a list of hotels in Indio, Salton Sea and Borrego Springs.
Sandy and I stayed at the Dead Link Removed before and thought is was adequate and the price was reasonable.
If you want Class and you have the cash, the La Casa Del Zorro is the place to go.
Here is a site for Borrego Springs where you can also check out the prices and what the other places look like.
One other thing I'd like to mention is October thru June is the peak season around there and alot of "Snow Birds" frequent this area, so don't wait too long if you are looking for a room.
