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! grin.gif

Soooo...I guess it would be futile to suggest a camping alternative, right?

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. dopeslap.gifdopeslap.gif

Not to worry. greg's not to be taken too seriously. Isn't that the standard around here for most of us. grin.gif

That's one, buddy! crazy.gif

 

He does have a point, since it is called Death Valley Daze, why not have in Death Valley?

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.

Remember Jamie, NO good deed shall go unpunished!!!! lmao.gif

Where is that "I fart in your general direction" emoticon?

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!

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. grin.gif

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 wink.gif

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

Greg - please add me to the list - riding down and staying with JoeG.

 

By the way - are we doing the Motel 6 thing again on Thursday evening with dinner somewhere in Bakersfield?

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! clap.gif

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! blush.gifdopeslap.giflmao.gif

 

(sorry Greg, I just could help the comment or the emoticons)

Reservations made. I am looking forward to seeing some old friends and making new ones.

 

Cheers!

 

Now we are in trouble!!! dopeslap.gif

 

Ah yes, but the question is, what kind of trouble?

 

Cheers!

 

P.S. Hint: Only the good kind! grin.gif

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.

Yeah...

 

At least it left me with a story to tell, and I got to personally rave about how helpful folks from the board are.

If you're gonna behave, we might just as well stay home. dopeslap.gif or not. We'll be riding them there roads, so we should meet up. We don't need no stinkinig slabs! This ain't no HD or GW shindig. grin.gif

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.

No worries Bob, not with this crowd!

 

And Greg,

 

 

The mystery guest will be Jacqueline. She promises she'll get the day(s) off to play that weekend.

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).

You a funny guy, lunch in St. George. lmao.gif OK, I'm IN!

 

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. thumbsup.gif

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! wave.gif

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.

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! wink.gif 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.

Got a room but she says they are about down to smoking only.

 

I wouldn't stay in a smoking room. Feel the door knob. If not warm, stay low and exit the room. If the door is hot, stay inside and wait to be rescued.
