Whadda bunch o wimps.. 
Sleeping bags only at Furnace Creek.
Sleeping bags only at Devils' RaceTrack
Sleeping bags only at some unknown location with lots of Peyote.
Hotels? We don't need no stinking hotels!
As an aside - last year met a German couple who 'illegally' camped at Dante's View.. and may I tell you they had the best campground in the entire park?

For me, Steve and anyone else from NorCal, it shaves 143 miles (2 1/2 hrs) off my trip home.
I guess it saves you guys about 30 miles (1 hr according to Garmin) from Lone Pine to 395/I-5 vs. coming from the Longstreet. That might be best left to each traveller.

It's all good, I can get rates for both locations for all nights and see where that leaves us.
All this will have to wait though until I get back from Vancouver on the 14th but I think we have time.......... :drinks: :drinks:

The dates are by no means fixed. I was thinking we could either do the Long Street again or Lone Pine, what does every one think?
We could probably get a deal again at the Casino, I for one vote for the Casino but will go with the majority.
Post up your thoughts.

P.S. i know this is way early but BeemerDon is not doing the BMW Death Valley ride next year so thought i would get started early to make sure we can get rooms.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
MM2, do you anticipate on any more grand kids showing up about that time?

Reading the old Casteneda books, again, DC? I once had a station wagon full of those nasty tasting little cacti. Could have written a cookbook on the various ways to prepare them so as not to hurl. It's been a long time since then, though....'course my perception of time might have been totally messed up.

March/April:
Potential for wildflowers if there's rain.
In Mar/Apr, SOME of the Sierra passes will be open (80 & 88) unlike Nov-Jan when they can ALL be closed or chains are required. NorCal members won't need to ride south to Bakersfield to Hwy 58 to 395.
Riding & bonding is always a good thing with FJR riders.
That isn't up to me....and it never was. I'm merely an invited attendee at arrivals, I'm not a member of the planning committee.
[SIZE=8pt]I think they're satisfied with one. The reality of the work involved, the monetary planning for advanced schooling, the current state of our economy and political climate, that "The Princess" was an only child (with 3 wicked step-sisters) and that they live 1 block from his brother who has 3 boys all weigh into their decision. I'm not involved....I raised her to pick well when looking for a potential mate & father for her children and invested many years teaching her the realities of being responsible for one's actions and decisions. Now I can watch them work through their own lives, but I'll let you know if things change![/SIZE]
What...now that you know it's being considered you aren't going to check the Ride Planning section? :blink:

Well, let's see?
FJR maintenance chart says;
Lube swing arm
Check head bearings & replace if needed
Check front seals
Check brake shoes and rotor run-out
No doubt will need an oil change by then?
Tires? Gotta make sure to drain Fall air and fill 'em with early Spring air "if" they still have tread, or replace? :angry2:
Also; need to re-build rear shock and re-spring to 800lbs.
Change out the ES Stator back to the stock one.
Weather report?
I "think" I'll be buying a Suzuki V-Strom DL 1000, and head to Baja with Papa Chuy at that time!
You guys/gals have a good ride!

If I remember correctly, an en-route meal made mincemeat of your digestive system so if history repeats itself, I would think the sleeping bag would be the thing stinking!

Aaaannnndddd....those of us who qualify for senior citizenship or have certain physical maladies (2 years ago: 2 cracked vertebrae, rt. scapula cracked in 2 places, nuymerous broken ribs and a separated shoulder) that don't suffer cold hard ground very well are grateful for a warm hotel room and a shower. :yahoo:
Plus...if Barb comes she will be staying in a room with a lock on the door.

I enjoyed last year at the Long Street Casino. What are the dates? I'm signed up for Cabo, but if DVD doesn't interfere, I'll do both.
