Mojave Road Run 11/10-11/13/17
Scouts West is looking to make the run. Plan would be to do it in 3 days, I would like to leave on Friday morning from either River or Hwy 95. camping at Government Holes mile 52, or Mid-hills camp. Day 2, Veteran's day, drive until 11:00 a.m. stopping to observe 11:11:11 on 11/11. Camping to be determined. Then Sunday, finish out the drive. Any thoughts? suggestions? I am open for help.
Upon further research, the road is running 14.2 miles longer, about 152 miles. Sunrise is 6:15ish to sunset around 4:35ish.
I figure 7 hours of travel, leaving around 8 a.m. and stops to sight see, lunch or repair. would put us in camp by 3 p.m.
It would be possible to meet on Sat. morning if you could not get off on Friday. My guess would be at the Kelso/Cima rd (my guess is about 20+ miles off of the fwy taking Cima exit) and Mojave road crossing. We should be camped just east about 15-20 miles from there.
Who's IN?
Fritz I hope in Ol' Blue
