Topic: How far is too far for a SCCX trip?

[AV Xterra]

I've been to Coyote Flats recently and I hear Silver Canyon in the White Mountains could be a good run.

Silver Canyon has some great features; last time up we saw Big Horn Sheep.  There are runs everywhere, so it's a matter of getting something planned and then I can do some route planning.  From technical runs to sight seeing, the Sierras have it all.
There are plenty of hotels, and a nice private campground on the south end of town near the golf course called "Browns Campground",  from tent to R.V., it's nice there. 
Say when........

After a hard day here in San Diego last Friday, the wife and I jumped into the X, headed East on Hwy 67, picked up sandwiches at Quizno's in Ramona, drove out to Ocotillo Wells SVRA to eat and play in the sand for a bit (no photos, man it was dark!), then headed towards Salton Sea, down to El Centro for a shake at DQ (it was closed) then back on I8 to home.  All in all about a 200 mile evening of R&R. 

Distance is obviously not so much of a concern as what kind of wheeling will be done and how long we will be out.  It's been a long, long time since we've done any tent camping and are kind of spoiled by the amenities of our Class A.

I took my first trip up to Lone Pine last March...  great area, with lots of picture taking opportunities!!  ; )

And for those of us that prefer indoor plumbing (), there are some quite reasonably priced motels in the area.   We stayed at the Dow Villa, which is less than a block from the turnoff to Whitney Portal and Alabama Hills.

That reminds me... I should post some of of my photos from that trip when I get a chance... got some cool panoramics, some with the old X in them, too!  ; D

I'm willing to go just about anywhere, given the funds and time.  Mexico, would love to, but it's OFF LIMITS to military folk like myself.  Camping is half the fun if you ask me.  The more around a campfire, the better!

Very true, campfires are very therapeutic
