[quote="Inverted Turtle"]Thanks for the warm welcome's we look forward to the meet and greet as well as the ball and chain run in gorman. And desert dog it's unfortunate that your not available this weekend, but quick question do you know much of the bonanza trail? And your right about the spot in the picture. That is the trip I saw the bonanza trail sign but didn't have time to explore it.[/quote]
that's "uncle cracker" to you
the official trail designation is "EP-15"
ep-15, east from hwy 14, will travel through the el paso
mountains to hwy 395. it may continue east of 395, i don't know
it is the main trail, which most of the designated trails cross at one time
or another. "bickle camp", "burro schmitt tunnel" and a few other destinations
are just off this trail, and they are marked by signage.
many "open" mines dot your path along the way.
any 4x4 will make it, but go prepared, water, food, spare tire, friends
my brother and i, would gladly show you around out there, but i just returned
from wheelin in st. george utah with some of our members, and have some
catchin-up to do.
also: we have a long weekend run in panamint coming up that your rig would
be perfect for
check out: up coming runs, proposed runs, and run reports> trust me,, we know how to have fun
you can contact me by PM if you like
P.S. when traveling north on hwy 14,a few miles past dove springs,
you'll see a group of billboards, and a fenced yard
on the west side of the road. there will be a handmade 2x3 sign on the east side
that says "burro schmitt tunnel". thats the begining of EP-15
HAVE FUN!
