Trail Run: Sunday, September 3rd, 2006 at 7 p.m. (Note: New Time)
Meeting Location: Whitewater, CA - Eastbound reststop - Interstate 10 at 7 p.m. Departure time will be at 7:30 p.m. promptly.
Meeting Map
Difficulty Rating: 2+
After meeting up on Sunday night at 7 p.m., we will have a brief driver's meeting, and travel down Interstate 10 until the I-10 and Hwy 86 interchange where we will exit at Dillon Road and gas up at Love's Truck stop. Good news - they have a Carl's Jr. where we can grab a quick bite to eat and load up on sodas to keep us awake. From there, we will drive up Dillon Rd., to Berdoo Canyon Road where we will play on the mildly-difficult entrance to the Joshua Tree National Park, and travel along the Geology Tour road. At Jumbo Rocks, we will set up our telescopes and look at whatever stars are present in the early evening sky. If my friend Chris Glass shows up, he has a neat set of night-vision goggles which detect coyotes, people, etc. and are a blast to play around with.
From there, we will drive the length of the Joshua Tree National Park until we reach the Old Dale Road turnoff. From there, the possibilities are endless. From lower Brooklyn Mine Jeep Trail to "The Bowl" to Iron Age Mine Road - we will have hours of fun trails which will last up until midnight. From there, we will exit Iron Age Mine Road and travel approximately 14 miles back into Twentynine Palms where we can grab breakfast and coffee at Denny's Restaurant, a full tank of gas, and call it a night.
There is a Motel 6 in the city of Twentynine Palms, CA for those who wish to stay in Twentynine Palms rather than try and drive home late at night.
A CB Radio is absolutely required. Plan ahead, and get yours installed today.
Stock headlights will work fine for the trails we will encounter. Auxillary ligthing is not required.
A Telescope kit is optional - I will be glad to share time on mine as we scour the cosmos in between running trails.
RSVP (so we know to wait for you): thedesertoutlaw@yahoo.com or (951) 255-1589 cell
See you there!
