    No no thats a different big Joshua tree. They are about 40 miles apart.

    This big Joshua tree is sort of 'behind' 4 corners, just a minute or two from the intersection. Makes it 30-40 minutes closer for guys driving up that morning. Plus its a longer ride, and away from some of the more 'busy' riding areas.

    George says its some good riding up that way, ive never gone in from 4 Corners to the Monument. But that entire area of desert has litterally endless trail riding in all directions.

    But yeah--that was funny. :)

    I'm planning on being there.... maybe riding up with Robertaccio if he calls me back and commits :cheers:..... I'm riding a TC450 with moto X gears and moto X tank packing one gallon of gas with me........ I don't want to run at 9000 RPM for 40 miles straight :eek::eek::eek::eek: and I don't wanna run outa gas !!

    by the way Mike.... the French Crepe Bistro was great yesterday at San Clemente Pier...... boogie boarding all afternoon on Capistrano Beach and ended the day at Sonny's Pizza and Pasta on El Camino.... amazing thin crust ......pizza ......washed down with a Negro Modelo

    Rode Wildomar OHV area today with my kids.... not a soul in site...

    Do I really have to go back to work on Tuesday?

    Mike,

    I'm in and bring the girlfriend along. My dad would be joining us on his DRZ, but him and my mom will be in Minneapolis for a wedding that weekend. Looking forward to seeing all you guys again.

    Too bad you won't be there... I plan to lay my og. bottle of Elvis cologne to rest at the site. It will be the Kings last tour!!! Been with me since the 80's!!! It'll be dramatic and emotional but I'll tough it out, feather dust my bike and ride off into the sunset...............

    A tribute fit for a king!


    Be careful whose bike you feather dust! That is a powerful piece of equipment! :D

    PS I wonder what would happen if I dusted the Monument bike???????? Uh, Uh, no, no, I don't want to go there now that I think about it

    Looks like a nice group. I counted 9 Huskys, with a couple of fence sitters.

    The core group, and a couple of special appearences too. :thumbsup:

    I'm one of the fence sitters. If I can get a break in the action at work I'll shoot up for Sunday but I seriously doubt that I can make a camping trip out it.:banghead: makes me sad because the group that makes this ride are some of my favorite people to hang with.

    Hey, because this is happening in CA. Do we get to bring our family (non Husky) riders? Just asking, I think it would be a fun ride for the kids. No, I don't expect "Baby Siters" They are 20 and 13, and I will be with them.

    Friendly FYI folks -- 4 corrners is at the HWY.58 and 395 Intersection --- I live not more than 10 miles from there.. If things go right, me and the wife will meet ya at gas station then more than likely trailer our bikes up the 395 more and catch everybody at the monument --wife is newer m/c rider and i'll be on a 78 390 and not sure if the 2smoker will do 80 mile round trip on gas --but very sure the wife will not sounds like fun ..............see ya there.......todd
