Yeah, I drive one of those BIG CTD powered Dodges. BUT I tow an even BIGGER 36ft 5th that weighs in at 10k DRY:p Let's see - 86 gal of water on the trailer plus an additional 30gal in containers multiplied by ~8lb/gal... My head hurts just thinking about it.

I will be towing my 24ft 5th wheel loaded with water and towing my m/c trailer behind my trailer that with a FORD

So what exactly is the requirement for towing doubles in CA?

We're planning on taking Friday off and being at Elkins around mid afternoon on Friday FWIW.

I have a postit marked "Elkins" & one marked "enduro" on the dart board.
As soon as I find the darts I will be able to make a resposible, educated decision. :p

I'm in the same boat but don't have a dart board to help with the decision making. Since the club I belong to (TWMC) is hosting the "Ghost rider enduro" I should help out. On the other hand it is always nice to meet up with DRNers and ride in a new place.

LT - when do you plan on leaving and returning? If we can truck-pool it might sway me to go.

I was wondering how I got subscribed to this thread. It sounds like fun, I'll see ifI can make it!!!

Maybe that also explains how my computer was logged on to BIG ONES, DOUBLE D's .com? Thumbs any Ideas? JK.

GSR re: that punk Tony comment. There is no recovery needed. If the shoe fits.... ;)

O.K. it's me

Where excactly is Elkins Flat? Which highway is it on? Any idea how far from Reno, or I can find the distance out myself.

Is it off of highway 88 beyond Kirkwood ski resort, and Silver Lake?

I might do a one day trip if I can.

I am not allergic to trees, but I am allergic to bark busters (broken finger).

So get off the "where's Strick", and "No show":silly:

Strick,

It's about a half hour west of Silver Lake, on Highway 88. I think Mr.WR has posted directions on page 1 of this thread.

Thumbs? Scar?

Don't know who I'm talking to about now, but I haven't figured out when I can leave yet. Truck pooling sounds great with either/both of you. We should see about recruiting some of the rest of our SoCal posse, too.

As to the speed thing: Now, Aimee, I noticed that the only, and I mean only :p , car/truck that was in the same hyperdrive as myself was a certain young lady driving a white pickup with a yellow-lookin' mx/enduro thingie in the back, no? :scream:

Green Sticker Question

I can get a nonresident green sticker here in Reno. I do not have an arrestor to go along with it. What do you think? Am I going to be O.K.? I sure don''t want my new bike impounded:eek:

Strick - Spark arrestors are required on all public lands in CA except for closed courses.

if your bike is registered in your home state and has a spark arrestor, you should be able to ride it in CA no problem. If your bike is NOT registered in another state, you are supposed to get a permit from the CA OHV Commission - call 916-324-4442 for more info.

Go to the OHV part of this link for the official low down. http://www.r5.fs.fed.us/tahoe/avalanche/tnftruckeerec.html

Hopefully someone can do a successful rain dance before 10/20. :)

Brian, last I heard from her was on the 2nd. She recently got back from England so I imagine she's pretty busy catching up. Although I know that as of yesterday Kevin is still without his bike. :( She did say she would be there Friday.
