So far only seven confirmed, Brad. Miss Donna, Son Seth and Papa Chuy; my former in-laws John and Julie from Upstate New York and they will be riding street on my FJR; and two Canadian Snowbirds who are Winter Time AZ Beemers.
h34r: Herr Kommandante Uberkul, same question is being asked over at AZ Beemers by the GPS Goofballs in my Club. Throw them a bone, so they'll stop bugging me!It would appear that there are many people out there lusting after a couple of days of dual sport riding in Death Valley. I now have 6 in my party. None of us have ever ridden off road in Death Valley although we all spend a lot of time in the Sand Mountain area (NOT San Mountain itself). Given the number of possible rides, the different bikes and the various fuel ranges, are there any pre-routed GPS routes avialable for this weekeknd? I'd love to download into the Zumo, even if riding with a group, just because I can. Someone else mentioned spreading out on the rides to avoid too much dust.
I get the distinct impression Death Valley is not the place to bring your dirtbike with a license plate ziptied on. The park rangers down there are the kings of the kingdom. Just a heads up because while it may look like Nevada BLM down there it's more like Yosemite with law enforcement.It would appear that there are many people out there lusting after a couple of days of dual sport riding in Death Valley.

Brad, Richard is correct! Longstreet Inn has a full service general store: Sunscreen and bandages for the dirt bike guys; and Tampons and Kotex for those street pussies!
https://www.nps.gov/deva/index.htm My Friend Brad is being politically correct and extremely polite, but since it is a dog pile Friday and I am an incorrigible crabbyass old Irishman: Here is the rest of the story, as Paul Harvey always said. The Death Valley National Park Rangers were giant dumbass Nazi pricks! Honestly, they really were!I get the distinct impression Death Valley is not the place to bring your dirtbike with a license plate ziptied on.

https://www.nps.gov/pwr/customcf/apps/maps/showmap.cfm?alphacode=deva&parkname=Death%20Valley%20National%20Park Everything you need to know, you don't need GPS to ride Death Valley, is right here on the map. Just use the zoom feature to see the Echo Canyon and Titus connection. I print this out in a large scale format and it is placed on my tank bag map window! Moto riding Echo Canyon east to west:
That means I have all of ONE trip on a DS to DV over you. Experienced guide I am not! :lol: But I can go swiftly in the wrong direction with the best of 'em. Besides, it's never the wrong direction if the scenery or trail is good. :good:
