This was our first time camping for new year after owning the trailer for 5 years. As usual it was just us heading out. Got a last minute text from our friends up in San fransico saying they were going to join us. They have a TT 5th wheel so they bring two trucks, his wife tows the flat bed with the Polaris and Kawasaki mule that the kids love to drive. They once tipped over.Camp all setup it was great weather partly cloudy with some sun - rain on New Year's Eve but we enjoyed it. We Layered up and had a ton of wood and kept the fire going for 4 days. Sunset on our way back from randsburg. Didn't get Any pics of our visit. Stock pic I pulled from the www but the girls loved this place. My youngest daughter loves antique shops. They got $3 grab bags with a bunch of cool surprises.Finally made it to the pinnacles in the RZR. Thanks to MPoulsen for getting my pinion nut fixed. When he took it Apart it was hand tight so it was a matter of time before my rear end blew out.The best we could do for our New Years 2017 pic. Good times in the TH.Our dog Mako too! trailer full of kids he probably wants out.

Looks like a great trip.How did you like the smell of Trona from the Pinnacles?

Trona - nice place to pass through, really fast.Sorry we didn't make it out to meet you guys on Friday. Was looking forward to it.

I really wanted to get to inscription canyon but owls head GPS web site is under construction plus my Garmin is not capable to download the ohv maps, go figure. Going to get a new GPS soon so we can navigate the DEZ. We navigated to Randsburg winging it off the friends of jawbone map. Kinda felt like the sticker they have on the wall at the general store "where the hell is randsburg".

I have converted a few of the Owlshead areas of tracks to actual maps for my Garmin. They are transparent maps. I typically display both my "road/highway" and owlshead map on the same time on my Garmin. Most of the tracks are good, some you can no longer ride on, there are some new trails that are not on owlshead. It is not routable. I can send you my map owls head map of the area and you can try to upload it to your Garmin.You can also download an app for your Smart Phone. Purchase the online Friends of Jawbone map that integrates with the App. You end up with a GPS using the Friends of Jawbone map. It works pretty well, not great, but pretty well - depending on how good the GPS is in your Smart Phone.

I did download the Avenza app and bought the FOJ map. I also keep one in the RZR . But my service sucks out there (t-mobile) and couldn't use it. The Garmin I have is the Drivesmart 60. The FOJ map doesn't have Inscription canyon on there.
