Mojave Road (NV/CA area) March 17-19 or 16/17th??
Just to see if anyone is interested in this. I have been wanting to do the Mojave Road for a few months now and I am thinking about going March 16 - March 19th or 20th. Camp somewhere that Sunday night and then do the trail starting Monday morning (Mar.17).
-------------------------------------------------------------------
This Trip is a go! Updated Itinerary as follows:
Monday, 17th: Old mine ruins outside of Laughlin, NV. Meet at 9:30 at the Laughlin visitors center (map pg 4 of thread). Drive to Cerbat mountains/mine and visit Mineral Park area. Also do the Chloride Mines trail (pg 61, Wells AZ guide book). If time do Secret Pass trail. Return to Laughlin area that night.
Tuesday, 18th: Start the Mojave Road. Meet at the AVI casino parking lot/ gas station just south of Laughlin. See attached maps. Primitive camping on the trail overnight. Meeting time 8:30-ish
Wednesday, 19th: Finish the Mojave Road. Camping place to be determined that evening, probably in the Calico area.
Thursday, 20th: Various trails in the Calico Mountain area, just North of Barstow. I return to Laughlin in the late afternoon-early evening to leave for home the next day
CB channel 3. Bring alot of water and enough gas to go approx 200 miles. Also be prepared for 2 nights of primitive camping.

back to original thread:
The Mojave Road is located between Laughlin, NV and Barstow, CA and takes 2 days to complete at a leisurely pace. Camping 1 night on the trail. This trail should be suitable for stock 4x4 Explorers/Rangers.

After finishing the trail I would like to do a few more trails while out in the area. There are a few more easy/moderate trails close to that part of California that are a possibility - Calico area. Also there are a few remote ghost towns near Laughlin I would definitely like to check out.
So who is in?
