Hi Herb, I have a small House

in the desert @ the far South end of Johnson Valley near Yucca Valley. Dual Sports friends are always welcome to stop by.
I personally Try and Ride about every other weekend. This weekend I was thinking of a trip to Big Bear, have some lunch, top off the Gas and return. SNOW Fall Levels "TBD" could have just changed those Plans! Lucerne is good. Last NNH I passed some dual sport Riders and someone was on a 2012 bike. Cannot miss the new graphics! I have been looking at a trail's north of Flamingo Heights (NONE OHV- Lic only) that runs into the Big Bear OHV trail Routes. We like Ocotillo Wells. Might try the routes over @ superstition mt next trip.

You might already be aware sorry If i am echo....
Many Forums, different Webs sites promoting organized and none organized rides. To many for me to surf! As you will read, The BLM and California LAWS make it harder and harder to organize events. Now it appears to be posted as a FYI such and such have trip planed to...... you can get GPS @ ....... or roll charts, Welcome to stop by!
I will be trying to support the District 37 events
