Official Mojave Road “Toga” Run Thread
UPDATED 6/2/08
Based on the feeler thread it looks like we have some good interest in this run.
Thanks to FunJunkie for the theme. Togas are optional but encouraged. Just be sure to check your toga for snakes in the morning.
The dates are June 7 and 8
We will be running East to West starting off from the Avi Casino parking lot.
We should plan to be on the trail by 8:30 so allow time to gas up etc. so we can hit the road on time.
Obviously there is one night of camping involved so bring whatever you need to be comfortable for a night in the desert. Temps could be anywhere from freezing to broiling so be prepared.
Extra fuel and water is a necessity.
As for dinner Saturday night we can either go every man for themselves or go looks like we are going the potluck route. Chime in on your preference what you are bringing if you choose to participate.
Some wood from each rig for a community fire, or two, would be great.
Also, some input from those of you who have already made this run a time or two would be great.
I will contact the ranger station this week to get a permit for us.
Here is the interest list so far. Please PM me to solidify your spot or to drop if you need to. 15 rig max
This is a casual run so anything that anyone would like to add or suggest is welcome. I can’t wait to get out on the trail.
Current CONFIRMED List:
Ricoverde CONFIRMED
Funjunkie CONFIRMED
Kokopeli CONFIRMED
Mtnkraut CONFIRMED
FJ-Piper CONFIRMED
Eagle Scout CONFIRMED
spertierra CONFIRMED
FYI, the address for the AVI Casino, our jumping off point is:
10000 Aha Macav Pkwy
Laughlin, NV 89029
Whether you are coming from LA or OC, you basically want to get out to I-15 towards Barstow then grab I-40 east to Needles. Google the address to get the detailed map to the Casino itself.
The distance from central OC is 265 miles and should take just under 4 hours depending on traffic of course.
The return trip is around 175 miles, much shorter as Domininc pointed out.
Rooms at the casino for Friday night are currently available and running between 75 and 87 dollars including tax.
