Hopefully it's not out there by Chiraco Summit. It's a nice location but man is that a long drive just to go camping.

I have no insider information on the location for this year.
My gut is that it will be in the same spot, or close to it, as last year.

I think the main issue was coordinating with the BLM and their permitting process due to the government shutdown.
But, I'd assume that they had the permit application and fee in long before that. 

The first DRV I went to, 2014, was off of Red Cloud Mine Road I think. 
Basically the same terrain as the one off Split Mountain Road, accept the mountain is in a different spot and it's more dry lake-y from what I recall.

They just let it slip, on the thread where they were looking for trip leaders:  https://americanadventurist.com/forum/threads/2019-drv-trail-run-leaders.6602/#post-122600

"Anza area in or around Fish Creek."

Nice catch

I just posted a trail run over there.  I will lead the run down Canyon Sin Nombre, up Arroyo Seco del Diablo, over the Diablo Dropoff, and back to Fish Creek Wash, Split Mountain, then back to camp.  This is the same run we did for CANVAZ last October.  I am going to have my son drive my Xterra and I will narrate about the geology.

Tony, I'm STILL putting my X together, but I would love to meet your son and hear your Tour Guide.  Way to step up.
Jayrat, .....you have let everyone down.  I want your guilt to match our pain

 I'm starting to get pretty excited. Four days of away from here and relaxation in the desert. With all of this rain we have been getting I expect it to start to get green down there. I'm pretty sure that we will mostly camp together in the SCCX compound. The weather is supposed to be high 30's to maybe 40 by night. Since we will have the obligatory fire please try and bring as much wood as possible so we can have a nice warm fire!

When is everyone planning on being there? We are leaving sometime Thursday. Not sure of time yet.
