GS_George Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Didn't someone say it was warmer in the park? Why don't we move the event there? We could stay at Panamint Springs. I believe they can accomodate over 8 people! And they have premium gas for $4.00 per liter! Link to comment
barryNmarin Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 I'm in! Friday thru Sunday nights. Looking forward to seeing everyone there and I hope it will be warmer than last year. Barry Link to comment

flyingreg Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 Soooo...I guess it would be futile to suggest a camping alternative, right? Didn't someone say it was warmer in the park? Why don't we move the event there? If Greg would only use an emoticon every once in a while I could tell if he was joking here or not. If not, oh boy, here we go again. Not to worry. greg's not to be taken too seriously. Isn't that the standard around here for most of us. Link to comment

JerryMather Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Didn't someone say it was warmer in the park? Why don't we move the event there? That's one, buddy! He does have a point, since it is called Death Valley Daze, why not have in Death Valley? I'm ducking and running for cover now... That would be logical and besides, Jamie won't have an excuse to have his recon ride up there in Nov. any more if we went back to the way it was when we first starting going to Death Valley as a group and stayed at the Ranch. And YES, the Ranch has camping spots. Link to comment

Well, since this will be the second consecutive year that I've gone on the pre-run but been unable to go on the _real_ ride, I hope the need for pre-runs continues! Darn it, I have to go skiing in Colorado with my brother-in-law. The sacrifices we make for family! Link to comment

steve404 Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Greg, Add another to your list. It would be nice to return to the valley sometime. Some of Gleno’s last words to me were that he was going to have a talk with Jamie and Leslie about bringing this event back to where it belongs. I think I’ve been the lone camper from this group the last three years the event was in the valley, so I’m sure Greg’s suggestion has been shunned by all. Perhaps those who find the valley cabin and room arrangements too primitive could join Richard up the hill in the luxury hotel. Link to comment
onedae Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Add me to the list - room booked and ready to go. Nothing like Death Valley in the winter. Looking forward to this ride and seeing everyone. Link to comment
Bill_Walker Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Mr Olson and AZkaisr are in if I have to pick em up and drag to Beatty.... That's gonna add a lot of miles to your trip! And dragging bodies are really bad for your fuel economy. DAMHIK Link to comment
ghaverkamp Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 If someone's trying to keep track, I've got reservations for Fri/Sat/Sun. Not sure if I'll be riding or driving, though. I'll have to see how things shape up. Link to comment

Tony_K Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 I just want to state that this is shaping up to be a AWESOME weekend. It will be great to see everyone who is coming out either again or for the first time! Link to comment

Mulepick Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Glad I checked the forum. Don't come here much after getting all the info to get the bike running. Many of the people that have been so helpful appear to be coming to this gathering. Also, it's so close to home. I've got a buddy who is an old fart (like me) but fairly new to biking. Anyone going to jump him if she shows on his Yamaha "Harley wannabe"? I'm assuming that this is a paved road endeavour? Although there is a great loop that starts W of Beatty, loops through the site of Leadville, and spits you out at the end of the day fm a steep canyon into Death Valley. Heroic dirt riding though. Gotta start a TIG welding class at the CC on Tuesday so we'd just stay for a couple of days. Bob Link to comment
ghaverkamp Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Either way, please don't do any work on the chosen vehicle before you leave, and if you MUST... go find a professional to do it!

I have just one question since this is my first time going to DV in January. Sooo...we're meeting for breakfast in Beatty on Friday. Where are we having lunch, St. George or ? Hmmmm...I haven't seen anything in this thread on St. George. Maybe I'm thinking of a different event. Link to comment

Crazy_Canuck Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 By the way - are we doing the Motel 6 thing again on Thursday evening with dinner somewhere in Bakersfield? How many people want to get together for dinner on Thursday night in Bakersfield? I am sure we can set something up, in the past we met up at Hodels (just off 99). Link to comment

OK, seriously, I don't recall a mention of B-fast in Beatty. However, I'm sure if you propose it, someone(s) will show up. If for no other reason than to keep you from having to dine alone.

Thanks Rich, I didn't want to guess, that always gets me in trouble. I'll add her on next update in a couple of days. Hi Jacqueline! Link to comment
johnlt Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 [quote Sooo...we're meeting for breakfast in Beatty on Friday. There's only a couple places to eat breakfast and it would be tough to seat the size of crowd we have so my guess is that smaller groups will plan their own. Nothing formal that I am aware of.

Effjay Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Here's the latest list. This is shaping up pretty good! I hope this little ghost town will be ready for us all. Six weeks away and already quite a large group "condemned"! I suspect rooms at the Exchange Club are getting scarce (I booked mine 25-Nov). There won't be many cages in their parking lot that weekend! Coming from Ventura County, I'll route myself through Mojave and Trona and hope to hook up with some of you for the run through DV.
