100 Mph Dry Lake Bed Runs..

Where in DV did you get up to 100mph?

Have you ever been there, if not you should put it on your list

Was that McCullough pass you went through near 7 Magic Mountains? I was going to hit that trail this weekend but decided to explore the Kern River high pressure trail off of Blue Diamond. Super rocky but out there but managed to get up to 40 before ending up behind Summit Club.

It wasn’t the Pass but some Trails near there. Maybe next week I’ll run McCullough and Beer Bottle out to Stateline

Pre run! pre run! pre run! I am sure John has posted it as well. A fun place besides Bonneville is the playa in the Alvord desert in southern Oregon. Yes, it seems to take forever at ~30 mph to pre run what happens "fast" at 100 but it may save your butt. Bonneville, not so much but the playa of the Alvord will have random cracks from hell. Because it is so flat, you can't see them till within about 50 foot. Most are about 18" wide and 24" deep, some 3 foot by 3 foot. Hit one of those at 100? bye bye rig as you slide to a stop on the frame rails...and that is the good version of hitting one.

Something unexpected at Bonny ville. You camera girl disappears really fast. Now how do I find her in this vast "salt". No tracks you can see. land marks 30-40 miles away. Who would think you could get lost out there? Made the "drive by" quite a challenge. Sure did not want an "mistakes" at that speed. Pre run really helped.

John we are really fortunate that you have a love not just of Raptors, but also of photography. Especially since you use the pictures to post these great reports. Thanks so much!

I cant remember exactly how to get there but there's a decent high speed section between Jean and 7MM... I might go looking for it soon.

Use the GAIA App, and keep the camera girl well outside your Travel Line. I know she’s waiting for me to crash (life insurance on speed dial LOL) but Try explaining to the local Fuzzzz how you “Accidentally” ran over your Ace Photographer
