Had great time at Charlie's Place/Wagon wheel,rained Thursday night a little Friday morning rest weekend and Monday was great weather!!! Found out we camped right at Charlie's bar, cement pad, had someone come to camp and told us that we camped at the site of the bar had been, cool!!! The only bummer was lost rod bearing on RZR Saturday morning, but rode with friend to Randsburg and X-15 site. Great weekend with good friends.
do some research and you'll find photos of the old Wagon Wheel bar that was on that slab. I was racing/riding back when it was there but don't remember ever going there. Did hit quite a few other "desert bars" with Dad and his friends.
I never thought to Google it. I just found THIS PAGE with some photos and a brief description.
This reminds me of a biker dive bar that we used to ride to from El Mirage back in the 80s. It got harder and harder to find a legal route to that bar once the area started to get built out. I imagine the new homes we saw being built didn't survive the recessions.
Was that Zeldas? My dad's group had a 3 bar loop starting in Hi Vista, to El Mirage and back, don't remember the third but I know one was Zelda's and then Hi Vista. My grandparents lived about 5 miles from the Hi Vista store.
