Anyone know directions coming from the south on 395? Do we exit at Searles rd? Not sure where we are going.
Yes, it's off Searles Station Road east of 395. Right after you cross the RR tracks turn right, then left at the first main dirt road.
Have fun everyone, we'll be in Cal City for the Checker's races this weekend.
That's right.
As you're coming up 395 from the south, you'll pass Trona Road on your right just before you get to Johannesburg. Keep going north on 395.
Then after you pass through Johannesburg you'll pass the road to Randsburg on your left, and then another road called Garlock Road on your left.
The next paved turnoff you come to is the Searles Road. This is the one you want, but it isn't marked. It doesn't say Searles though; it says "Trona".
That's the confusing part. The "Trona" sign is your landmark, but you don't want to take the first road to the south called "Trona Road".
Once you turn off at Searles, you'll see the RR tracks pretty soon. Technically that RR crossing is the town of Searles. W00t.
After you cross the tracks, turn right on the dirt road and then turn left on the bigger dirt road that leads to all the camps.
