Truck Haven 2011 January 15-16 MLK Weekend

[Maniak]

ill have to look for some rough high speed stuff to give some rides in. probably a bit too wide to get in the trenches and some of the other areas out there.

You should run the ditches, following Ted. That way there can be someone with more turning issues than him

Should we camp on the bluffs this time, since last time was Marina Dr? And there's a lot of flat land south of SR22 in Ocotillo Wells for us 2wd guys who like going fast.

Wash is easy to get to with a trailer.. Last time wasn't that bad, even with the mud on the dirt road. I trailer our X out too, that way I can get home if I break something (long drive).

I don't know how hard the bluff is with a trailer. The one time I was there (not sure if it was the typical bluff, was on top) it didn't seem like a trailer would have any issues.

the bluffs are nice BUT are bad bad bad for those of us towing especially if towing with a motorhome! The road/bike path out there is very motorhome unfriendly, and I for one prefer to keep my undercarriage under the motorhome and intact!

...But it's a 20 minute longer drive for BKennedy...:

Ah, Ha....but the bluffs west of "The Bluff" are very nice, and easy to get a RV into.....and it would save me 20 minutes of drive time. Alrighty then, its decided.:

I think its about three minutes farther than the spot with the bike path access, since it is two miles down the road,

It is very easy to get into the area I was discussing. Its pretty flat, and you can see the camp spots from the road. It is west of the little dirt track you are hmmmmmm'ing about.

I really don't care where we camp, Marina Drive would be fine with me. I haven't camped down there since last year, so it might be fun. It is closer to the Truckhaven hills, but more noise from other campers since the quad crowd has discovered the area.

Getting excited about this since I don't have any other trips planned between now and this. And a friend and his dad might be coming in their early 60s unibody F100.
