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?

We will be ending in Palo Verde, CA.
depending on where your home is ??

San Diego is 78 to I-8 for me

FYI...in 2015 we departed the campsite off of Gas Line Road and headed east on The Bradshaw Trail (it was raining, we left early) until we reached Wiley Well Road.

From there we headed north on Wiley Well Road, past the correctional facility and to I-10.

The campsite area as mentioned is 100% primitive, with some creosote bushes, but not a lot. Privacy for bathroom purposes can be found a short walk from camp. Some of us pack Luggable-Loo style products with Wag Bags. REI and Big 5 sell both, or a shovel "if you know how to use it"

This is a two day/one night pretty simple Xcursion, hopefully not too complex to prepare for.

Looking forward to seeing everyone on Saturday morning.

Thanks for the clarification. I am afraid I will have to back out of this trip... I was already going to be on a bit of time crunch getting home on Sunday due to assignment deadlines and midterm exams. The drive home from Palo Verde is going to be just a bit too long for me to get all my responsibilities handled.

June cannot come soon enough... I will graduate and be free to finally make one of these excursions! Have fun, be safe, and take tons of pictures so I can weep over them when you return.

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?

Hey Jeff, I'm in Fallbrook, so I will be going North on 15 to 10 east.  I doubt that is the way Jake will be going, but I wanted to give you a free bump here, just in case someone else missed your post...

I was also assuming that we would be taking the same route as two years ago - taking Wiley's Well Road north to the 10, and hitting I-10 around lunch time (or sooner even... I think we started airing up right around noon last time). The additional travel along Bradshaw Trail is about 10 miles further. Doubling back on I-10 to Wiley's Well Road is not much time at all, but I'm kind of in a similar situation as CVXTERRA in terms of needing to get home as soon as possible, since the wife works early in the AM on Monday. I promised her we'd be home in the late afternoon on Sunday.

Jay - do you have an estimate or plan as to when the day will end and everyone will head back home? I think if we're wrapping up by 2:00 pm or so, I can still have her home by 5:00 and avoid becoming a liar. Worst case scenario, me and my clan can just peel off from the group at Wiley's Well and head home earlier, if necessary. I can also offer to lead anyone else back to the 10 via this same route if they need to leave earlier as well.

This made me smile...Jay we are up for "whatever."  You lead, we follow.

There a lots of exits along TBT (to I-10) so it makes for flexibility to peel off (like Joe said) for everyone.

I had to peel off last year...and lemme tell ya...while it was easy to find the 10 and head west, it was not easy to anticipate the ruts in the road....I saw my cooler catch about a foot of air in my rear-view after I mis-judged a whoop or two and caught some legit air on the way out...

Being home in the early to mid afternoon would be ideal for me, too.

Why is your gas pedal sideways?

Is that a custom Toyota thing having duct tape on pedal shaft?
