Ocotillo Wells Camping Trip round 3! April 4-6

[goathearder]

Damn I am stoked for this weekend. Can't wait to finally get the Raptor dirty!

Could someone PM me a cell number if I can't find you guys? Planning on getting out there between 8 and 9 Saturday morning.

Also, do you need a flag out there or no?

Don't need a flag unless your on a quad.

Phones don't really work out there. Look for Homes camp ground on a map we are closer to 78 then the camp ground.

There is a hill between the 78 and Holmes Camp where I've gotten decent AT&T Cell service. But yeah...it's sketchy. If you have a VHF Radio...dial in Weatherman. Someone from our group will be on the net and can provide guidance.

If Sonoma is there....she receives and transmits across all radio freqs and spectrums.

You'll thank me for it later. But its off of 78 right by the Quad rental place. The road is barely discernable.

That weather looks perfect! It basically translates to: low pressure system moving in Friday afternoon, pace will pick up during the day mainly clear with no precipitation. Incredibly high chance of drunk later in the day and a disturbance moving in after midnight. Expect damages to occur on Saturday late morning, afternoon and in to early evening. This can be expected until Sunday mid day where things will start to veer back to "normal" in most cases. 100% probability.

If it makes you guys feel better... In 5 days we've had 36+ inches of snow, 10 inches of rain, twi ice storms and the wind has been at a steady 50mph with gusts of 70+. You guys had better make the best of your. "ok" weather this weekend lol.

I have a friend from Ottawa CA who would kill me if I complained to him about it being too hot. I agree with you, it may be hot as hell but everyones different.

I hope I don't have trouble finding this spot as well. I haven't been out to the area in a few years. Crossing my fingers my VHF Handheld I ordered comes in on time. Otherwise hopefully Sonoma can receive smoke signals as well. haha

Maybe Landfill still has those billboard signs to put up?
