I will be happy to make my Dutch oven enchelada casserole for Saturday night.  I can make it the same (no-meat) as I did for CANVAZ2015 or I can add meat this time.  Let me know about your preferences over on the food thread.

Is anyone going to camp out the night before?  (28th)
I'm thinking of Staying in Joshua Tree's Cottonwood Camp. 

Open to other suggestions and locations.

    I'll have to live vicariously through the pictures.
    Drive fast, take chances, make poor choices.

Couple of quick questions,

the pictures from the book has the trail start at the eastern end of the trail and finishing on the west end, this means we are meeting at Patton and driving east for about an hour, get on the trail and head back west toward salton sea?

Also are there any bathrooms on this trial and/or campsite? my girl isn't the biggest fan of peeing behind a bush if it can be helped haha.


Thanks!

I am skiing this weekend for one last time this year.  Jake would like to join you for this trip as well.  Can he caravan with anyone leaving SD Sat. morning?

Across the freeway from Chiriaco Summit (south side) there is a dirt road that will connect us with the northern end of Red Canyon Jeep Trail.  We will follow this trail to the south and east until we drop down into a wide wash where we will intersect Summit Road.  Going southwest on Summit Road for 3.9 miles will take us to the train trestle discussed previously.  Going notheast on Summit Road from Red Canyon Jeep Trail for 2.6 miles will take us to the intersection with the Bradshaw Trail.  We will then continue east on Bradshaw Trail before turning toward our camping area.  There are no campgrounds, facilities or running water (potable) on this trip.  It is all primitive.  The bathrooms are what you bring with you.

Thanks for the reply. Figured it would be 100% primitive, but wasn't sure if there were any establishments along the route.

And to confirm, the trip is from West-ish, to East-ish, ending in Blyth-ish, and then driving back (for me) west on the 10 back toward the Patton museum?

I can't confirm how far east we are going.  That is Jay's call.  But based on the coordinates of the campsite listed previously, it looks like we are turning north on Gas Line Road which takes us up near Hwy 10.  From camp it wouldn't be very far back to the freeway.  I don't think the plan is to go all the way east to Blythe.
