Mffoster Posted December 1, 2019 Report Share Posted December 1, 2019 Booked a room at Harrah’s for the 6th since they would allow our dog. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SplurGn Posted December 1, 2019 Report Share Posted December 1, 2019 How safe is keeping the gear in the rig for that night? Also - on the trial - what do you guys use for #2’s - sorry, super noob questions... there will be plenty more I am sure.... Shovel and hole, or the bucket?

Andrew Wood Posted December 1, 2019 Report Share Posted December 1, 2019 I will be bringing a bathroom tent and full sized toilet seat that we can all share, just bring your own toilet bags. See attached files. As for security I'm not sure. I imagine being a casino/hotel it will well have good lighting and cameras. Maybe give them a call and ask. I myself have lowJack and a alarm.😎 kultur and Andrew Wood 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulD Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 Sorry to miss this one -- but I will be doing the Mojave Road from Dec. 28th to Jan. 1st with the AZLRO people. If anyone needs a trail update, Lutzi has my cell #. I am planning on taking the slow way home to Cen Cal, heading North outta Baker and re-visiting some spots that Chuck, Nick, Alan and i did last Spring. I lost a key component of one of my coveted grille badges somewhere between Bob & Ward's cabin and Ashford Mill. Want to try my luck finding it...! Another hint: River Valley Inn, Needles, CA -- about $50, 20 minutes from Avi Casino. You can park your rig 20 feet from where you are sleeping.

kultur Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 (edited) Hey, I couldnt help but notice that the GPS Track that was posted is going in the reverse route, Starting at Afton Canyon and ending at Fort Mojave, I presume since the meet point is Avi Casino that will not be the intended direction for the trip.... I posted the file to my google maps...see below... https://drive.google.com/open?id=1rwF9bYF4oQCZ9yXtQhUnpXkUbRr0k9d_&usp=sharing Edited December 5, 2019 by kultur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
