Alamo Lake Ride 2020

[DWC]

Where are the cabins in relation to the Alamo State Park Campground? That is where the Milne family will be staying.

The cabins have 4 bunks in the back and a large floor space in the front. Wide open for cots or air mattress. Let me know if you need the space.

Thinking about getting an RV spot close by and heading out stop off trailer then back to havasu to jeep out.

Where does everybody stage their vehicles and trailers while on the ride?

Is this worth getting a pumper and helmet for? Or fine without?

A helmet with fresh air and intercoms / radios makes every ride better, trust me it's worth it.

Current plan is to slum it on my parents couch while they are camped at the state park. If that falls through, we might take you up on that.

We'll also need a place to stash the truck and trailer in Havasu if any of you have available parking room.

A lot of people have parked at Daves house. A lot of the members have room at their house. Dlc does I know that. I will be at LOF or DLC house for sure.

The ride pretty much begins at “the short stop” gas station S. McCulloch and 95. 4 miles of pavement and we hit the dirt.

Talking to the wife about renting a bumper pull trailer and glamping for the weekend at Alamo.

We don’t have a SXS, it might be fun to do something different and just hang out.

Pics from inside the cabin. It’s a 2 room cabin, frt room has room for floor sleepers
And back room has 4 bunks 2 each side. Bring a sleeping bag and they have a mat/pad on the bunks.

The cabin outside space has a fire pit and a picnic table and a parking space we didn’t have a problem parking 3 sxs’ And Dave parked his trailer and truck

They do have outlets heat and AC lights and showers & bathroom is close by.

@RiverDave do you know if there was power dump and water? I can’t remember?

Yea I believe there will be. I’m running solo, I’ll have at least 1 front seat.. I may or may not have back seats available.

@Bpracing1127 may have the same deal.

I'd like to go, depends on how it works with truck and trailer staging. If I do, I'll have an extra seat available as well.

I think we will be able to work the staging out at various houses.

I'm all about Sunday Funday, but I don't ever drink and drive my truck. Don't want to be a burden on anybody, so need to figure out something convenient for all.

@Bpracing1127 what radio are you running?

 

[Bpracing1127]

@Bpracing1127 what radio are you running?

Rugged

 

[LargeOrangeFont]

@Bpracing1127 what radio are you running?

If you are looking for a smaller or cheaper radio option, this 25 watt radio works great. It is about half the width of the Rugged radio and $125 cheaper than the Rugged RM 60, 60 watt radio. It will work with Rugged RM 25 radio mounts and adapters.

If you get the offroad version the case is black.

Where can RV's park in relation to the cabins?

The RV spots are located in between two cabins if I remember right. Pretty much center of the party last year.

Google Maps shows a RV camp area up Cholla rd.

Cholla Road, "C" loop is the shit. There is a trail access road to the thousands and thousands of mile of trails and drive-able sand washes. They have 30A power and water. There is a dump at the exit. You're fine with off-road non-DOT stuff at Cholla. They only "tolerate" that at the camp where the cabins are.

There are rv spots all within the park, the cabins have rv sites next to them too.

There is always wayside rv Park as well.

Pm me your email. I have the gps rides

We already rented the cabins so no need to reserve anything. We will just park them next to the cabins

It’s still very much on! Ian rented the cabins for that weekend..

I am going to tow my toyhauler out a little before and put it at wayside I think and leave it out there for a week.

 

[Bpracing1127]

Yep still on. Big group this year!

was thinking we are getting close to figuring out logistics

we need to plan for the following

food and firewood.

chairs and sleeping bags and what not can be brought by most people.

@RiverDave

let’s talk and see what your plan is and maybe you can help us out again

 

[teded]

When is this going to happen?

Yes, I will tow my trailer out there again.. I'd like to possibly get the supplies before hand so I can haul the trailer out there ahead of time and drop it off.

Someone asked about electricity and water.. Next to the cabins there was 110V electricity and there was a water hose. There was no dumps.

I would expect (don't know for sure) that there would be dumps somewhere in the park. Last time mine was dumped at Windsor when we got home.

Mine didn't have any problem sitting next to one of the cabins with plenty of room behind it to open the tail gate etc.. If someone like @TPC is gonna bring the Taj Mahal I think he'd have to back up further and not be able to open the tail gate on a whim.

Mine is 23'.. I don't suspect it would be a huge issue to put a 35-40 in there, but this is all of memory. If for some reason it doesn't fit, traditional campsites are plentiful literally right next door and cheap. Or Wayside is right up the road a few miles.

Personally in the future I'd like to see this whole trip get moved to the wayside campground. While it isn't on the lake, they are a little more friendly towards night time activities than the state park.

Does the wayside have public bathrooms /showers beside in the restaurant area? I don’t mind tenting it, just need to S&S comfortably and hope they have warm water.

the only problem I see is the cabin offers a place to stay while being logistically easy. But yes nighttime adventures would be better at wayside lol.

Yes you pay them for a shower.. that’s what I did the year we did it in a tent

 

[DLC]

I did also,
but
the shower was kinda funky

@DLC
@LargeOrangeFont @01erionracing @DWC @Shortdeck @ArizonaKevin @RiverDave

and anyone else I missed


We are about a 2 months away from this ride. I want to start planning some of the logistics regarding the food and firewood.

we have to think about food for

Friday night
Saturday breakfast, lunch and dinner
Sunday breakfast

I am leaving breakfast and lunch to each person for Friday and lunch and dinner to each person for Sunday. Last year we had group dinners and breakfast and one person bought all of the food and we were able to keep in daves trailer which he had onsite. I know Dave is unsure about his trailer this year so we possibly need to bring food and cooking equipment for our trip. Don’t stress it’s not that big of a deal.

so I am opening up the discussion to see what ideas people have on the subject

I know we can eat at wayside too (we usually have breakfast there Sunday morning )

To sum up we need to think of food, cooking equipment and firewood for the days we are going.

 

[DLC]

Does beer, jerky & peanuts count as food?

if so then we have that part covered!

lol

firewood is a much bigger
Problem. But if we all carry a bundle, 2 or 3 of that store bought shrink wrapped stuff then we should be good... or shrink wrap your own bundle....

what’s anybody else think?

I have my whole backseat available. I can carry a back seat of wood or coolers. I’m good either way
