I know my neighbor Chuck was there, he told me Teagel wash.

I won't mention any last names but Luke and Mandy's father?

Yup, they live next door to me. Small world huh.

Rode in Dove Springs as a kid and had amazing memories but don't remember much about the size of the riding area. Is there much riding for RZR?

Thanks

small "open area" for blasting in circles and going crazy whereever you want, but 99% of it is "limited use" on marked trails only. "Trails" by FOJ (Friends of Jawbone) standard are wide enough for a 4x4. You can go for miles and miles on fire roads or "trails" but personally I'd be bored to tears unless there was a destination with beverages.

Garlock Road is another area to stage from as well.

I am bummed, I think this is the first year in 11 years we won't be in the dez for thanksgiving....still hoping though.

We usually go out Sunday or Monday and stay until Friday, that way we leave as it gets crowded. Son has classes mon-wed this year, this is a first for us, in high school the kids always had it off. Life changes.

Great info, still up in the air where we will be going. Might have friends coming down from SF with their TH so we will see where they want to go. We are stoked! I think it's one of our favorite trips we look forward every year.

Dove Springs. Doesn't the Inyo County Sheriff's stage there for Thanksgiving Weekend?

I prefer Cal City for a few reasons. Easy to get to. Very open, so typically not hard to find a decent spot to camp. Cell Coverage in some areas (not all). I have no problem with a $15/year OHV fee - plus I pay for the RV permit (which allows 150 gal of fresh water per day, and dump station, although that dump station will be packed on that Sunday). I fill my water tank when I get there. Is it all flat? No. Rolling hills mostly, a few small hills to climb. Easy to get to Boron, Randsburg, El Paso Mountains, Husky site, B1-B crash site, X-15 crash site, etc

The crazies are more spread out in Cal City. About the only thing you have to watch for are the crazies in the trophy trucks in a couple of areas.

Spangler is decent area as well. Closer to the Pinnacles.

I prefer Jawbone Cyn over Dove Springs - but only on quieter weekends.
