So far so good for getting across Soda Lake. As much as I want more rain and lots of it this year maybe it could hold off until we get across that lakebed....

I'm down for the Soda Lake route... Nice change of scenery!

As long as our fearless leader doesn't deviate us into the mud, I don't mind the railroad trail

The lake bed is fun. Just got to watch out for the giant rut in the middle. You see broken parts there all the time.

There was one year where I did the lake bed in the rain and my truck double it’s weight in mud.

 A few thoughts before we take off. It looks like soda lake is still passable so plan on that route. I was thinking about bypassing the lava tubes as most of us has been there numerous times. I wanted to leave about 11 because we have people travelling from distances that morning. Those of us already there can sleep in a little and not be in a rush to pack up that morning. Bring a frog, gnome or a matchbox car for the garden at the mailbox and a penny for the can. Whoever has the banner please bring it so we can get a group photo out there. Bring as much wood as you can reasonably haul to help keep the large group warm. It looks like the weather should be clear and cold for us. Doesn't thus far look like any big winds predicted but we all know how that goes. Gas prices in Yermo seem to be at an all time high for this time of year as they seem to be about $3.29 to $3.50 or more. Barstow is slightly cheaper so hopefully they will drop a little right after new years (You suck Gov Moonbeam). I'm looking forward to this trip with everyone and think were going to have another great time.

I would be willing to lead a group to the lava tubes and meet at the camp if people want to go.  Fire Ninja has his son, nephew, and cousin with him, and I'll have my father and brother in law with me that have never seen them.  I don't want to make the entire group stop for just a few of us.

Everyone is on there own with food?

  Yes, it seems to work out best for the winter run.

 I would definitely support that. I have a few ideas that could work and not have the two groups too far apart from each other time wise at any given point. Do you have a 2M repeater that should roughly cover that area to Beale Mtn in mind?

Here are the 2 repeaters that would, I THINK.  The one in Baker would be best, Ludlow would be alternate.  Let me know your thoughts.
