[QUOTE="brian, post: 45599, member: 116"] Well last weekend we had a big trip planned for a few months to camp out and ride Stonyford in the Mendocino NF. With snow being reported in the staging area the day (Thur.) we were scheduled to leave not to mention a whole weeks worth of wet weather and an already deep snow pack higher up,we thought the whole trip was off. I decided I was going to stay at work and get stuff done since I wasn't going out of town now. About 8-8:30 rolls around and the emails, txts, phone calls, IM's..just about any form of communication there was, was used. The natives were restless and we wanted to ride! We decided that we needed head South, so Jawbone was selected cause there was a place with maps and no research was needed. :thumb: I tear outta work and head home to finish packing and 3 of us staying in the trailer meet at the rally point. The loading begins and we are on the road about 11:30pm. We decided we would go as long as we could and drive the rest in the AM. The rest of the crew pushed on and arrived about 6 am. We stopped south of Coalinga about 3:30 am for some shuteye. Hit the road again at 8 am and arrive at camp about Noon.

I ended the first loop with about a cup of gas left in my tank after only 50 miles. :shocked: I guess holding it wide open in top gear across the sand and some of the hills climbs really drank some fuel. All and all interesting first trip for the desert, way different kind of riding. Next trip down south we will go somewhere with more technical riding but it was a good intro for sure.
