Nayther, you are worrying me when you said Gorman was like Hollister. We won't
go there as it has a high percentage of Poor/dangerous riders!
I was at Hollister once, MANY years ago for a Thanksgiving weekend. Long drive for us but had friends living in Prunedale at the time and they talked us into it. WAY different than our usual desert riding/camping. And similar to Gorman, where I've been for a lot of different riding/racing, etc. and on regular weekends, not holidays.
I'd really encourage you to go to the "real" desert. The closest "open" riding area for you would be Red Mountain, east/southeast of Ridgecrest. Wagon Wheel is a good staging area and not far from town in case you forgot something or need parts, etc. Weather is good through April and sometimes into May. With all the rain this year March should be spectacular for wildflowers. There's also another staging area for Red Mountain right off 395 about 5 miles south of the Ridgecrest turn off. We call it Dirt Digger camp because that club runs their race out of there. Both are short dirt roads off the pavement and good for any RV.
