Wife and my anniversary weekend and we want to have some fun on the side by side and want to plan a couple days of riding. Looking for some people to join us. We are clueless noobs when it comes to this stuff but just want to have fun and plan some cool stuff out. I went on google maps which i can import into the lowrance unit and get after it.

Anyone interested in joining us or leading us on an adventure? Was even thinking of driving all the way to the desert bar possibly one day haha. As with anything its always better with a group.

Let me know.

Check this little map out

Desert Bar is a long ride for a day trip. If you plan on taking refreshment breaks with a group it's too far to ride in a day. I find I have a better time riding when I'm less concerned about the destination, and more concerned about what's in the cooler.

i agree 100% which is why i like rolling out with RD. I dont know the best places to go. Have been to a waterfall, a chair, and for the most part put around bison. Havent been to any mines or anything like that yet and I know the wife would love it. The Cooler will be packed with ice cold beverages of course.

The trip to the desert bar is 80 miles round trip?

There's always Mohave Cabin and the plane crash. Plane crash is another 20 minutes pass the Falls. Take the road to the Falls and go up and past it. Follow the road and it will fork. Stay left and the trail dead ends at a trail marking. Follow the trail head and look for the left over here plane debris. The engine block was still there a past year.

Google Mohave Cabin for a general location. I've been there many times and it's fun. Directions there would be hard to put into words. They have a shitter, couches, and charcoal BBQ there.

From another thread when I google search
These are the Google Earth coordinates. 34* 20' 55.6" N 114* 00' 06.6 W.

I don't really know destinations in the desert but I've been all over the southside and you can enter the trails right by human bean and zig zag south and east. If you feel your lost just follow the wash back to the road. If I'm out that weekend I'm totally down to go for a ride.

If I can get my rig up and running by then we are in for one of the days. I will have the whole family with me though so I don't know about an 80 mile trip. I'd do one of the cabin to BBQ and hang out though!

I wouldn't be embarrassed about watching my 88 year grandmother (or in-law), I'd be more embarrassed if I was caught hanging out with G.Fruitloop this weekend.

There will be plenty of other rides! :thumbsup

I hope to get a boat ride on Saturday. But if the wind is blowing, we will be in the dirt someplace near the airport to see if there is any action goin on. Timeline is kinda short for a long ride this weekend. Too many chores!

Oh really? Shit. I'm down for whatever.

That's what it said on the bathroom wall at the "X".

Ha ha ha


Is the Cabin 50 miles each way, or total? I'll need to find out if my car is done.
