I think that everyone who is considering doing this should still save the date. We can’t camp in Ocotillo Wells (state park) right now, but Superstition (BLM land) is only a few minutes away, & has & always will be open. NO ONE CAN STOP US from going camping in the desert on BLM land.

I’ve organized meets in the past in this area & as long as we don’t have vendors, no one is going to say a damn thing!

Isn't Truckhaven BLM land? @BKennedy ?

In 2007 California State Parks acquired lands north of S-22 in Imperial County. This area has been known as Freeman, Desert Cahuilla and Truckhaven Hills. In 2010 a southern section of the land formally became part of Ocotillo Wells SVRA.

I think that's why this happened, right?

Oh no, going on a trail adventure is not fun because of this scenario.

Well, that's not why that happened, but that is why the State Park Ranger was there...

If the state park is still closed to camping next month, maybe we could move this over to Superstition Mountain area. Like TravisFab says, its nearby and BLM land so its open. I might be able to get out there for a day drive and look around after Christmas since I haven't been there since I was a kid on a motorcycle.

I am hoping to be able to make this trip, if it goes.

So are we doing this? Superstition/Plaster City is very close (10 miles) and wide open for camping.

I think at this point we need to call this a bunch of friends camping in the desert & not any sort of an "event"

 

[Travisfab]

I'm also putting some plans together to be in Plaster City with a few Explorers on the weekend of the 23rd (this month).

I wish I was at Truck Haven and not on my couch.

It would have been a beautiful day out there too. It was in the 80's
