I've used the Pirates Den ramp a couple times. It's great cause I can launch myself. They have nice slips and it's dead calm in there. And pretty much no one around.
I went the opposite way. Left Torrance at 10:30. Arrived in Havasu at 3:00. We stopped for lunch or else it would have been quicker. Only hiccup was a bad rollover on Rice road. Only had to slow down for a bit. Didn't look good.
Absolutely amazing. Holy shit.
Hey Bling, if you ever need a deckhand on a trip like that I'm for hire. I work for cheap, don't eat much, and I don't take up much room. Lol
