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.
