We did another Cal City ride. four of us took a 119 mile trek from Borax Bills in Cal City. huskyjack, SteveO yz450, schmo, and myself. We headed over to Jawbone via cc10. got gas, and had to get a bolt and nut from the atv store there, as my Harbor freight bag fell off. The shop charged me 2 bucks for the bolt and nut. lolol. We then went up through Jawbone to Redrock. Took a gander at the Talc mines and the Burro Schmidt Tunnel, and a torn up cabin. on the way out EP15, I stopped and asked this lone rider if he was ok. asked twice before he answered with a NO. He got lost from his party. He was beat, wasn't lookin good. He didn't know where he staged, didn't know where he came from, didn't know where he was going. Not a good thing. We gave him water, energy bar, and kick started his bike for him. Had him hang with us until we found his friends. which happened to be quite a distance away. Guys and gals, have a plan when you ride. This could of been bad. After parting ways, we continued on ep 15 to ep 21 to Garlock road. then went to Randsburg for Lunch. it was pretty vacant. we did run into a few riders there, neversurfaced, hondalover, plus a few others, talked to them for a bit. I ate a 5 dollar burger and drank a pitcher of beer. We headed to Joeberg for gas after lunch. on the way back to Borax Bills, the sun was blinding. It was low in the sky and in the direction we were going. We still made it back in good time before the sun went down. it was a fun ride. just think, I'm gonna ride the forest tomorrow with a big group of riders.
