Hey Bosco. How are ya? Early planning stages. Just trying to gauge interest. March or April?Sparkie said:What month are you thinking of Mark? I've been visiting Death Valley for almost 50 yrs now. They're trying to make it upscale now with the recent renovations at the ranch. Mark
Old Man on a Connie said:Interesting Thanks for the offer CMan. What is the R/T to DV from Pahrump? 50 each way?
Get your tires mounted! :beerchug:Eddie-FL said:Hmmm, only 2200+ miles each way from South Carolina... :truce:
Let me see if I can get some dates set up for ya.Nottacop said:Good evening everyone, I hope you’re well. Not to be selfish or anything but I’m trying to organize my spring. Anybody have any additional information about this ride? I’m planning on riding from the Dallas-Fort Worth area to death Valley because I can and because the SW COG group is awesome and I’d like to hangout with you people again.
Lets look at the month of April. I think that gives us some time between the Bun Cooler and the Nats. Weather should be sweet.Nottacop said:Awesome. Let me know if you need any remote help.
Old Man on a Connie said:This is what 'm looking at. Truly vintage. Local BBQ and hot springs baths. Thoughts? https://www.delightshotspringsresort.com/en-
Well that is truly rustic! If most are in favor then I am a go! That 3 bedroom house looks cool...along with the other rooms!
Nottacop said:Yes! That way I can do the horseshoe mountain rendezvous in Arkansas at the end of April as well.

Water? We don't need no steenking water.SantaCruzRider said:Resort looks awesome -- nice find Old Man.
Nearby restaurant looks good too!
Noticed that you have to bring in your own drinking water. Maybe anyone coming in on a trailer can mule in some 1-5 gallons jugs.

With all the interesting locations for this next summer, I'm estimating 14,400 miles for just road trips. It'll be a good year.

It will be. Once I get the lodging nailed we'll post it up :great:Nottacop said:Will this be an official COG event? If so could you post a link to the calendar? I looked on the calendar and didn't see anything.
That's good, i can use the track time. I did a quick search and didn't see any sanctioned strips listed for the area, will it be an outlaw style event? All bs aside, I'm really excited to see this area, hopeful we'll get enough precipitation to make it scenic.Cali Cruiser said:Rumor has it there will be a drag racing school held for some feller from up North
Cali Cruiser said:Question: is anyone into the idea of me bringing truck and trailer to allow for a smoked pork dinner of some sort again? I’d need to plan for that so simply let me know your level of interest, thanks.
Gumby said:Did somebody saybeerpork?
I'm in. :beerchug:
Your a good man. Curve ball. Beef ribs. nummers.Cali Cruiser said:So...... what pork are we thinkin?
Here ya go folks. ALA Borrego Springs M&E&G start posting your sides to help out. Me thinks a nice pickled cucumber salad from me. May be a full gazpacho cold soup.Cali Cruiser said:Consider it done- added to the pork game. Maybe pork spare ribs and beef ribs, some sort of massive baked taters and of course cole slaw (slightly spicy)
Ink it. We're in good shape. I'll ask to get posted on the calendar this weekend. Lots of places to stay for fallback but 99% confidence in what we have now.Nottacop said:Anyone have a link to this event? I can’t find it in the calendar. Also, how are negotiations going with lodging? I’m getting a little nervous.
Copy. I know they have full hook ups in walking distance but will.Cali Cruiser said:Hey Mark- when talking with the Motel ask them if the Archer Mobil Meal Wagon can stay in their lot.
Daboo said:I think I need some advice. Any recommendations on a route for getting there at that time of year.
Taking I-80 over from the coast, means crossing Donner Pass. Google Maps shows a ski area there. Oops!
Any suggestions suitable for two wheels?

Hi Chris I am with Troy on getting there anyway you can....But looking at the map it looks like the best way if you cannot get across on the 80 in early April, might be going south to Bakersfield and then cross over to get to the Shoshone area. Probably the warmest way. Others will chime in but there is no easy way to get there from the North that time of year. Though you could get lucky and cross over and work your way south through Nevada. Looks like you could take the 5 to the 20 and then south on the 395...but the elevation might make things rough too. Let's see what others think? Hope you can make it!
