oh I forgot about that one :D . SO lance did you end up selling your crusier?

I will be there. I am trying to buy a tow vehicle and camper before then but you may just see me in the El Monte Rv rental cause its gonna be cold! See you guys out there

I'll try to make it, but I'm not doing the hard trails because they scare me:goofball:
So are you thinking Thur. thru Sat. and hang-over on Sun.?

Same plan for us;)

I'm gonna try to make it, hopefully I can find the place.

Anyone else?

anyone want to give me directions coming from the east? :D :D
GPS Co-ordinates for the campsite/trailheads... anything?

If you're coming from westbound on 1-10, Exit at "CA-62E/ Twenty Nine Palms" toward 29 Palms/Yucca Valley.

You'll go through the town of Yucca Valley, then Turn Left onto Hwy 247 Old Woman Springs Rd. (There's a Kragen auto parts near the corner)

Go ~25 miles and turn right onto dirt road marked with orange + brown "Johnson Valley OHV area" sign. If you get to Lucerne valley you've gone too far.

Then follow the sandy road towards the dry lakebed and look for all the ugly toyotas and a few campers and trailers.

Then of course you may not be coming from the I-10.

Thanks Spank... if I make it, that'll be the way I'm coming in. Hopefully I'll get my junk together in time, & get some work done I need to do to the tow rig.

On 247, you'll go through Landers. There's a long downhill with a left sweeper after Landers, right after you get in to the sweeper, look for "Last Chance" or "Last Mile" road, it's something like that. That's the braking point because you're about a 150 yards from the right turn. The BLM sign is on the left side of the road.

Darn it RE:Todd, I thought you agreed to stop telling people
that. It's much more fun to watch them blow by the turn-off
and see them have to stop and turn around.:evil: :evil: :flipoff2:

That's not really funny at all. :confused: The first time I went to JV I went all the way to Lucerne before I realized I fawked up. So it's not real easy to find. :flipoff2: But then again, we dont' need millions of people out there anyway right?

BTW: Todd, you'd be proud to know that when I mentioned "look for all the ugly toyotas..." yours was the first to come to mind. :flipoff2:

Geeesh, maybe I should have put "j/k" in there.:rolleyes:


BTW, Toad's Yota is lookin prettier now- a- days. :flipoff2:

I have never been to Johnson Valley. Is it good for buggys and quads too?

Nope, there are no sand dunes, no wide open dirt roads and no huge dry lakebed, no bomb crators, no fun. No wonder the General Lee was such a failure. ;)

In other words, it's not similar to Barstow in any way. :flipoff2:

hint: The above should be read as sarcasm.

You mean it actually has body panels now? Wow! Is it still urban camo/rockrash? And yes that is quite comforting that you can still park on my hood. I was worried about that those fenders might get in the way of your flex. :D

I've seen the front fenders and they're held on by 4 - 5 bolts
each. Should take less than 5 mins to get both of them off. :evil: :evil:

And it does have rear fenders and a new hood. Painted just like the roof, wonder where they cam from :D :D :D .

Looks like most of the Ridgecrest Benders will be there !!!!!! (even Krusty).:flipoff2:

Drive to the Boone Rd Exit N34 22' 08.2" W116 32' 44.1"

This is the dirt road that leads to the lake bed at N34 24' 42.2" W116 30' 58.1"

One thing that I might throw in----- the word for the Hammers this time of year- WOOD !! If everyone brought a little, we would have a lot !!!! (maybe enough for Bender to really set himself ablaze this time !!):eek:

You've had wood for most everyone since the first time I met you. Then you even gave me a blow..tires :D Thanks by the way.

Re-Todd- from what I understand, you can't carry enough wood to last any time !!---:flipoff2: You just don't have it in you !!
(not a 5min. wonder I understand, --but-----------)

(not a 5min. wonder I understand, --but-----------) I can't believe this. The only complaint I've ever had was about the size of the wood, nothing about how long it lasts!! Hell, my wood lasts ten times longer then you Ridgecrest Benders. We go to the Hammers, I got enough wood to go around, I come up to the original home of Benderville and we have to send a wannabe's wife to Albertson's to get wood for all of you Ridgecrest Benders :D :D Like I said, Bite me :flipoff2: :flipoff2:


Spank, go sit in the corner and Spank !!!!

hehehe...........:flipoff2:

BWAHAHAHAHA, you're fawkin killin me here:D :D :D

sure it's just hearsay, but--- from what I hear, you are not known for the duration Nor the size of your wood !!!! Just that you ALWAYS have wood for the Benders !! (and I hope that doesn't change !):flipoff2: :rolleyes:

Was just out to the Bender Barn--- Mustard Dog and Bender are working at a fever pace (REALLY Rose), and hope to have the new and improved MD rig ready for next weekend !!!!!

Stomper just MIGHT go !!!!!!!!!
Flash has his toy street legal now-,-- but won't drive it- wants to tow--
Desert Heep is still cut in half--------
Re:Todd-- well, if he can get over his wood fetish, he just might show up-
Bender should have his 'new' trans installed- maybe he WILL wheel---- (camp queen !!)
Krusty- shittt, I'm ready now !!!!
-- MD even has on his 'Bender' shoes !!!!!!!!!!! (talk about devout fanatic !!!)
Haven't heard from the Fresberg area --
or the Coastal contingent !!
