Very familiar territory. We've driven many of the back roads in that part of California (but in 4x4 SUVs, not a motorhome!). How was the washboarding in the southern end of the Saline Valley? Some of worst washboard road we've driven on was along the Saline Valley Road.

Any washboard roads are miserable. I take my time, and I do mean taking the time. The other trick I have learned, is to have it in 4 hi...makes for a smoother ride, but really, the trick is..crawl.

I was also with a buddy, Off-Pavement, from RV Net and his Jepp is set-up for those roads and we were with him into the Saline Valley and up to the Baker Ranch.
