The 1st link has contact info for the hotels. By the way, the Ramada Inn in Barstow is almost sold out.
I'll be doing only Day 1 myself, but others are doing both days. If
you want to join me for day 1, let me know.
Sorry for not announcing this sooner. If you're subsribed to our message
board though, you've already more than you wanted to.
News heard from Paul Flanders (AMA D-37) about route changes:
Friday Day 1 route will have parts similiar to the 1998 route
in that it will now go to the El Mirage Dry Lake area. We will have to
bypass the San Bernardino National Forest. The route will work its way
up past Glen Helen on surface streets. Then we've got to get on the I-15
freeway for a mile or so to go past the truck scales. (Funny how's there's
no surface streets that bypass the scales!). Turn off right away on Hwy
138 to Highway 2 and pick up the1998 course just north of the forest there.
Then it's on to El Mirage, Silver Lakes for lunch, Stoddard Valley, Lucerne
Valley, and pick up the originally planned route (same as 1999) from there
to beautiful, downtown Barstow.
For Day 2, we'll have a little different route before and after
Afton Caynon. Afton Cyn. is so beautiful and every other way around there
is not, so we'll probably use it every year unless we can ever get back
into the Mojave Preserve area.
After Baker, we'll go to Sperry Wash, up next to Dumont Dunes, rather
than Kingston Wash. We're pretty much set on using Kingston or Sperry in
alternating years. Then into Sandy Valley for lunch at a different location.
Woods has lined up the Sandy Valley school PTA to do the lunch at the community
center as a fundraiser for them. From there we go to Red Rock via
the 1999 route. Red Rock and Afton Canyon are both so scenic that we will
probably want to have them every year! Then alternate between Kingston
and Sperry washes. If we can ever get the Mojave Preserve to open up to
us, that would give us a little more variety to chose from. Before 1995
the route went through that area almost every year.
