Topic: Winter Mojave Road 2020

I don't care which way we go, but I like the idea of everyone staying in Dale's room

I'm totally fine with this.  The door will be locked at bedtime, so no one will escape. 

FYI...my 2 year old wakes up EVERY NIGHT around 1am for about 2-3 hours.  ENJOY!

 Ok folks, check your PM inbox for the instructions on the discounted room rates. If you are on the waitlist and move up I'll make sure you get the code to get your room. Any questions just shoot me a PM, phone call, snail mail, smoke signal etc.

So the new plan would be
Friday 1/17 Stay in Laughlin

Saturday 1/18 hit Mojave Rd.

Monday 1/20 arrive Afton Canyon / Head home

Is this correct

 In looking at this, were staying in Laughlin the first night 1/16/19 start the trip on the 17th.

In looking at this, no stay in Laughlin the first night 1/16/19 start the trip on the 17th.

so 3 nights camping ??

 Yes

1/16: Arrive at Laughlin at your own time
1/17: Depart on trail, camp in NYM
1/18: Depart NYM, camp in Beale
1/19:Depart Beale, camp in Afton
1/20: Depart Afton, end of trip

This sound correct?

 What I am planning is arrive Laughlin 01/16.

 Start the trip 01/17 to New York Mtns.

 Depart New York Mtns morning of 01/19 (2 nights there).

 Head to Beale Mtn 01/19 possibly different location and weather dependent so were not getting blasted by winds but I'll post it.

Depart from final camp 01/20 to home.

 Because we are doing this from east to west it gives us a little more of a jump and able to do a relaxing two night stay over rather than jumping camp each day. In looking at the map it should be easy to get to the lava tubes and will be a good lunch spot. From there we can easily pick up Jackass canyon and on out so we won't have to split up the group. I know there has been a lot of changes but I'm trying to do things just a little bit different in order to see some new ground while still being able to see all the things everyone likes along the way.

OK Celt.....

   After months and months of arguing, negotiating, crying, making idle treats and finally succumbing to the will of check book 6....  I have been cleared to go. I know the lists are full at this point, but if I could be added to the super standby list, that would be great. Im pretty sure that you guys will be filled to capacity, However I will keep hope alive!

 If I am moved to the "GO" List, I will be staying in Laughlin the 16 and an extra night at Afton. Just to unwind and decompress and finish off what ever adult beverages are left over.

 I will put you on the waitlist list.

Hell yeah

I hate to do it but I have to. I'm dropping out. Work won't let me go. I took three weeks off to go to Australia to drive the Gibb last month and they're saying it's too soon to take more time off. Sad for me but good news for the next person on the waitlist. Enjoy.

That's unfortunate news, I was looking forward to having you along but I understand. Hopefully you will be able to make another run soon!

 Looks like everything is a go thus far and everyone that's goin is a-goin! (A-list folks if you ask me). I've got some fresh hard wood cut up and thought I'd mention for everyone to try and buy decent quality hard wood that will burn long and hot vs. the gas station pine bundles. Were out there an extra night so please bring as much as you possibly can. If you don't have room let me know and I will of course as always volunteer the selfless act to haul some of your beer along just to make that extra room. A quick reminder if you have not got your room time will be running short if you want to take advantage of our group rate. Some of you may be independently wealthy and wish to stay in the Ritz. If that's the case please five finger discount some towels from the bathroom and a few bottles of the complimentary champagne for us blue collar types. I'm really looking forward to this trip with everyone as were sure to hear a lot of laughs around the fire and good times with friends seen far too frequently and missing the ones who didn't get to go.
