Fall Camp Dirtbag

[hole]

Jim, yes, but I'm looking for a more defined map. I tried the site that was suggested above , but wasnt able to get what I'm looking for. I know that the roads are state/county roads with names and all, I just need a map from the I15 freeway exit to camp. If anyone can help a technologically challenged oldie, I'd be most gratefull

Here is the best I can do for now. This might help a little.

Off the I-15, Take Stoddard Wells Road East for about 12.4 miles, all the way to Lucerne Valley Cutoff, turn right for about 1.2 miles to Camp DB. If you have Google earth, locate this area from "Start" pin to "CAMP DIRT BAG" pin, follow marked path as indicated. It shows 13.59 +/- miles from I-15 with the path feature. There may other routes that are closer for you if you are familiar with this area. look for fun times.

hey hole, i can load anyone up with a pallet or 2 of firewood at the lumber yard if needed. i don't think i'll be buying a trailer before that. look forward to spending some time with you guys.

I have some wood but no way of getting it out there. My dad might be comming along, and if he does, we'll have our FJ cruiser, but there would be no room in the thing fer the wood. Would somebody like to come pick the wood up?? PM me, I'll give ya my phone number!

Here is a map link that should work:
34°40'44.02"N, 117° 4'47.85"W - Google Maps

This is the destination. Use the "get directions" option to get driving directions from your house.

Pallets: resist the temptation to throw these in the fire. Each pallet leaves behind something like 36 nails in the desert, and we all know how much fun these can be!

 

[hole]

Matt, thanks for the map link, and pallet info. I'm pretty sure mrlippy was using the "pallet" as a reference for the amount
of wood he can donate. Sadly, every trip one of us lucky souls "finds" said nails. Not to mention it's a pretty big fine if caught
burning one. Besides, we have much more entertaining things to burn

 

[WillWagner]

And explode!

 

[duffman1993]

OK, I just got confirmation from m dad, we are going!!! I will have some fire wood, but Not much. We are driving a yellow 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser. I would like to request that any update info be sent to me through PM or E-mail. It's ,my first time going on the trip so I don't want to screw anything up! See you guys there!!!!!

(P.S.) the RC car is my entertainment I'm bringing along. Really nice Rock crawler and the other pic is my mom standing behind the FJ we will be driving. It will be m dad and I coming along. ad two people to the roster!!!!

 

[duffman1993]

Is there any gear we will need to bring besides our camping stuff? CB walki talkie ETC I have a bunch of recovery straps, ropes, and chain. And I think I can dig out our dirt bike in time. I have to get it running but I think it's doable!

 

[offroadrunner]

I should be ready by then. At least my deuce is registered and (I think as of today) insured now. Don't know if I'll have it painted by that time (still wearing it's Indiana-Jones paint scheme), but it should be operational. See everybody then.

Cheers,

Well, let's hope we don't need any tow straps or winches or anchor vehicles, or shovels...except for the shovel weenies!...this trip. I hope to make it to Slash-X this trip to partake of the glorious grease laden chili fries and

Bob, it will be good to see ya!

 

[hole]

Duffman, you guys probably wont need to bring recovery gear,unless your planning on getting stuck . I'd focus on your camping gear and supplies. Prepare for dry camping ,theres no running water, no bathrooms, ect. Also, that time of year out there can be somewhat unpredictable concerning weather. It can be 80 during the day and 40 at night, plan accordingly.

 

[DUG]

Bout **** time dates got picked and the thread got started!!

I'm in.

 

[duffman1993]

We don't have much in the way of camping gear so we are going to be sleepig in our FJ. But We'll work things out. and A NUMBER 1 RULE OF THUMB FOR OFFROADING I have learned the hard way, ALWAYS BRING RECOVERY GEAR!!

Forgive a city boy...but Slash-X? What's that?

 

[offroadrunner]

Ah, the Slash-X (the local watering-hole and grill); I haven't been inside there since I used to ride (and regularly fall off of) my dual-sport bikes. It's a good destination for the mid-point of any desert exploration journey.

Cheers,
