Gold Point / Death Valley October Rally

Took about 30 minutes on Mapsource and bouncing it off google maps and my Butler Map. Hardest part was finding fuel stops.

I think the San Diego crew should move our meetup time in Ramona to 0600 find a gas station burrito or something and head out so we can get headed north and get to Gold Point in time for dinner

I second the motion.

Hell, let's just leave after work tuesday, night ride for Herb's Biscuits n Gravy Wed a.m.

For that matter, let's leave now and get there via COBDR. ?

I'd be down for that except for the leave issue. Haha.

I'm in with a KLR 650. Got an RV spot reserved.

A few more teaser pics....







Another GREAT Dinner



View from Racetrack






Big Dunes

I HAVE to check out the area that the racetrack photo is from. I have always wanted to see a view like that in person.

In! At least Friday to Sunday (have to verify those parent conference days...)

Conteacher, looking forward to trying out the bike if I don't see you earlier!

My days off have been approved.

Leaving Long Beach Thursday early morning, before dawn.

Looking forward to meeting you all and exploring the area.

Nice guys, this is really shaping up to a great event! How many folks are riding a big bike? I am, as it's my only one. I will be on the easier stuff out there for sure!

Cool Beans. I'll bring the WR for you to try.

coolio!

I will be either on a GSA or 640A... There is plenty big bike riding, I've been going twice a year (April and October) for 8 years and still am amazed that I haven't seen it all.

Ill be on my Weestrom.

Ok, the one time I was at the Racetrack we walked out to the Grandstand. We got there and there were like 8 naked chicks sunbathing on the rocks. They were not too pleased that three crusty moto riders invaded their space. Hey, I'm sorry that I couldn't see from a quarter mile away that you all were naked. Had I seen you were naked, I would not have walked out here. I would have run out here.

For the record the 8 naked chicks were mid-20s.

I will expect more naked chicks if we go out to the Racetrack.

Some go to ride and some go to ride and eat...but if you dont RSVP with Herb for meals you may be missing some of this...

Guess his screen name and i will buy you at beer at Gold Point!



Wait is this BigAl?



















BigAl again?





I think this says it all about Herbs cooking and BigAls smile...

It's on the ride....plus we know where the rocks are the first time I was there I walked all over looking for them and finally found them.

The best sliders are at the south end of the lake.
The hike into the rock pile is worth it. Great place to lunch in the shade.

I found this little fellow in the brush at Race Track a few years back, I was amazed at how well he blended in...




This is a shot from Hunter Mountain down towards race track..This is very easy big bike ride .

that story about the girls, hilarious. too bad you did get any pics, so far it's just pictures of dudes and food! what the heck were they doing out there anyway!? so random.

this is awesome. reminds me that with all the "pain in assness" of living in California at times, we have access to rides like this.

for you guys on bigger bikes, do you really think a skidplate is worth the investment as insurance for the type of riding out here?

That there is a Panamint Rattlesnake (Crotalus Stephensi). Saw one back in March near Goler Wash. Very cool coloration.
