Details

We'll be camping North of the of S22 at the Truckhaven Trail exit on the right (If coming from the 86), shortly after the 4X4 training area. The turn off is 3.7 miles from the intersection of 86 and 22. Approximate coordnates 33.269594, -116.020391 I'll update with exact coordinates once I've landed in a spot. The camping area is fairly wide open and will accomodate large motorhomes and trailer rigs.

I'll lead rides on Saturday and Sunday, staging from camp. Saturday we'll stage at 8:30, have a quick driver meeting and head out at 9:00. We'll head South and stop at Gas Domes and Artesian Well. From there, we'll head Southeast for a stop at Superstition Mountain, followed by a drive-by of the Airplane Junkyard and a stop at the Blue Inn for lunch. After lunch, we'll visit Blow Sand Hill, Devils Slide, Shell Reef, Little People Rock Formations, Pumpkin Patch and Techtonic Gorge on our way back to camp. I would rate this ride as Intermidiate covering around 100 miles.

Sunday's ride will be on the Truckhaven side. We'll stage at 9:00 and head out by 9:30. We'll continue our search for the Fire Hydrant, then head to the Phone Booth, Basketball Hoop, and over to the Arch Trails Notches.
I would rate this ride as intermediate covering around 25 miles.

☆☆☆Whips and flags now required on all SxS at Ocotillo Wells.
