El Mirage or Superior Mar.4 ???

Bladerunner - 28-1-2009 at 05:13 PM

I will be traveling from Primm to Palm Springs Mar 4.

Does anybody want to meet up at El mirage or Superior ?

I have never been to either. Of the 2, what one is easiest to get to and from for a quick 2 hours or so stop along the road that day ?

Elmers would be better. It is right off the highway. Superior you drive down a dirt road for 20 miles. Elmers you just have to deal with fast cars and whoever else can go fast in a motor vehicle and there also is a charge to go onto the lake bed now.

Anybody want to meet up at Elmer's ?

I have just realized I don't know where Elmers is ?

When I search it on Google earth it looks like it's up near Sacramento ???

Can someone please give me directions to Elmers ?

Also, once you enter the lakebed, type in these coordinates on your gps and it will take you straight to Walt's Cove...nice little 'tracS-P-A-M-L-I-N-K- there...you'll see what I mean when you get there...

I plan to be at Ivanpah March 1,2,3

I drive from Primm to P.S. on March 4 and can meet up along the way!


Of course I'll return Mar 29 for NABX

I have a non-kiting friend who will act as a spotter for me if I'm riding alone but company to ride with would be the Shiz'!!
