So we are leaving from Fresno Thursday night, going to Charlie's place/Wagon Wheel. My question is I am thinking about taking 14 to Redrock/Randburg rd then to Garlock rd to 395 to Serles Station to Trona to Charlie's place;Is this a good route with 40 Toy Hauler at night or should I just all the way up 14 to Ridgecrest and 178 to Randsburg wash to Trona road??? Thanks

that's the way to go, unless it's raining hard, they'll close Randsburg road just east of 14 due to water running over the road. If you do go that way and it's closed proceed north to Inyokern and cut across through Ridgecrest to Richmond, take that toward Trona and south on Trona road, all good solid roads.

I don't know what the weather has been like up there today, but it's been insane down here in Santa Clarita. I would expect Randsburg Wash Rd to be closed between the 14 and Garlock.

loaded up and ready - Michael I hope you made it safe to Charlie's place. Everyone have a safe trip and a great rainy weekend. Barstow weather shows rain all day tomorrow and scattered rain until noonish on Saturday - Clearing up Sunday and Monday.

Weather is going to be horrible for the entire SW region.... Ugh. Another weekend of rain and wind......

All us 2 wheel guys love this weather (we will be in Ocotillo Wells) but I have ridden quads/buggies in Glamis/Gordon's Well after rain, it sucks. Hoping the wind isn't crazy as the storm leaves, forecast says 10-15 which would be nice. I don't like the 25+ with gusts to 50+ where you start planning how to get out of the trailer after it blows over.:E Have fun everyone!

LOL. Yeah I know you 2 wheel guys love it.....

Wind is supposed to be crazy Friday night and Saturday. Gusts up to 40mph it is calling for. Sustained of 23mph.
That is "don't leave the trailer" wind right there.

I have sat in it. LOL

Thanks for the heads up on the roads if it rains. We normally get water at Sierra trailer park off 14 when going to Jaw Bone is there somewhere else to get water on that route or should I just water at the Trailer park? Thanks again

You can get water and dump at the Desert Empire Fairgrounds in Ridgecrest, it's just north of Richmond on Bowman, there are signs.

I agree, Garlock will shut down because of run off.
