I was just wondering what everyone was planning (Dirt riding related) for the Thanksgiving holiday. I'm still up in the air of where to go camping. I may go to Ocotillo but also was thinking of trying someplace new. Any ideas?

I was either going to Ocotillo or Jawbone. Haven't decided which. If the people who invited us to Ocotillo come through, we'll probrably be there with the family.

It looks like I'm 80% sure we're going to go to Ocotillo Wells. I plan on heading down Weds. morning and staying through Sun. If anyone else is planning on going there let me know so we can get together. I plan on&nbsp;staying at&nbsp;hidden valley camp, its less crowded and there is some pretty good riding to the east and north. :thumb:

Heck Im not sure what the plan is at this point. I was thinking either Red Mountain (Trona) or Stoddard Wells. Depending on the work schedule and the famaily plans I might be up to trying something new.

I just got finished preping the bikes and the motorhome is halfway loaded. I'm heading out as early as possible on Tues. (4:00pm most likely). If anyone decides to go just stop by Hidden valley camp and look for the 32' winnebego light tan and gold, and a KTM525 Exc and KX100. :yeehaw:

I'll look for ya Tree. There is supposed to be now 75+ RV's and 200 people in the group. I'll be in a (suprise) white Silverado diesel, with a YZ450F and TTR125 next to it. I guess we will be past the cabanas over the second ridge.


Wednesday afternoon, I can't wait.

I'll be there Friday AM with the Family in tow. Look for my Blue van and custom pop up tent trailer. KTM 300MXC with #28 on it. Tree I'll try and meet you and Rex at you camp. Do you know the name of the road your turning off the 78 onto? If not we'll use the force. See you Friday.

scar tissue, If i'm right it's just past the bluInn going east. Look for the turnoff to the left and follow the road out to the outhouses and the palapas (sp?). I think the road is called hidden Valley rd, but can't be sure. I haven't been there in a year. I use to camp on down the road (north) of the camp area just south of the mud hills. When you get to OW, just drive east past the airstrip and the countyline, on east to the bluInn area and look for the turn to the north left side of the road. You can run some good 50 plus mile loops out of that place on down south into the Flat-tailed horn lizard managment area, just stay clear of the military lands.

I don't know if I can ride this weekend, got to check with the family and all. I was thinking the Cahuilla creek track. Haven't been there in longtime, but OW is always fun and close too. I may head out that way Friday or Sat, and look for you guys.

If not I'm off to the track if I'm lucky.

I was thinking about Ocotillo Thursday afternoon also, but I've been so flakey lately - who knows? ;)

According to the maps I have (I need more than one to figure it out) Hidden Valley camp should be just off Cahuilla Trail. I can't say for sure what the turnoff name would be. Approximate GPS coordinates would be N 33º 08.5’ and W 116º 02.5’. Desert Ironwoods is already booked, so I’d have to sleep in the truck (no way I would go just for one day).

Here’s the maps-

and

The force never works for me, I have to fly by instrument. I’ll give myself about a 65% chance of making it. :thumb:

Turn left on the Cahuilla trail dirt road. Take the road a ways. You'll crest the first hill and going down the other side will drop you down into the hidden valley camp area. I believe you'll see a bathroom there.
