I think this is the case. I have always ridden between the Slash X and the 15. I went up once to join Bolt's group and they took me on a ride that consisted of rocks, rocks and then some more rocks. Same thing I have always experienced up there.
I need some better guides indeed. Like the last time Rack and CDA took me on a "launch ride". WTF did I do to them. Seriously, I hear about the good stuff down in Ocotillo and out in Johnson Valley and I would like to check it out in person sometime.
I didn't know I ever met you in person. Thats what sucks about these vague login names you guys all make up. I can never connect them to the faces and names of the guys I meet and ride with,
The only time I have ridden the rocks between Slash & 15 was a couple years ago when Mike and his son Jesse took us north looking for single track. Maybe that was the ride you came on. It had it's interesting points but was typical Stoddard stuff. Actually there is more interesting waterfalls a few hundred yards from camp.
