I've uploaded a kml and pdf file to the Round-Up Page (Locations tab), and added the following tentative schedule to the Notes section:
THU (12/31/2020)
3pm Cougar Buttes & Skull of Johnson Valley
5pm Cougar Buttes/Lucerne Valley Camp
FRI (1/1/2021)
8am Bronco Coordinates
11am Mine Tour Loop through Fry Mountains
2pm Cross Mountain Route and/or Upper Shaft Canyon Trails
5pm Rockpile Camp
SAT (1/1/2021)
8am Sand Dunes (South of Melville Dry Lake)
9am Means Dry Lake
10am Fissure Mountain Trail (through Hartwell Hills, Hammers area)
2pm Los Padres Mine & Giant Rock
Trail difficulties:
A lot of the driving will be on dirt roads and/or open flat desert terrain. Any 4x4 will handle it fine.
The Mine Tour Loop through Fry Mountains is the easiest trail section we're planning to do.
Cross Mountain/Upper Shaft is rated moderate, but should be doable in most stock 4x4 vehicles. If it looks to difficult, we can reroute as needed.
Fissure Mountain Trail is mostly rated moderate, with one short difficult section. It might be too difficult for me. If needed, we'll take another route around the Hammers area.
The approximate route and coordinates for most of those locations are in the kml file. Times are approximate, and sections may need to be skipped based on conditions and other unforeseen factors, so if you're planning to come, let me know so we can share contact info. I'll provide real-time updates here if cell service allows.
[/RP]Spend New Year's Eve and/or New Years Day exploring the desert trails around Lucerne Valley and Johnson Valley. We will also attempt to unravel the mystery around the coordinates hidden on the roll bar of the 21MY Bronco.[FCLINK]View Round Up Event[/FCLINK]
