This is UTV CRAZY style March madness. Each year we go someplace in Southern California for a few weeks and members come for some or all of the ride. In 2016 we are probably going to go to 3-4 for different places over a 3 week time span !! Stay tuned for more information to come in the following weeks.

Probably March...................... Just kidding. But we have had some hot weather in the past, so the earlier in March, the better!

I wouldn't mind seeing Johnson Valley (never been there, and have relatives in Big Bear), and Dove Springs is always a favorite.

Never been to Spangler, either. Rider Planet isn't very complimentary of it, though. Says it is mostly flat and somewhat boring?

If there was only one you could attend

What would it be?

Could you please provide a little more detail regarding these rides for us newbies?

1) Physical location (where on the map, I can Google map it.)
2) Type of Ride (terrain, so I know what tires I need)
3) Distance of rides (how many miles, and hour per day in our SXS)
4) Recommend supplies (what to take with while in our SXS)
5) Type of camping at each location (dry? hookups? water availably? dump stations? fuel?)
6) Camping restrictions (can they accommodate a large motorhome with a large trailer? 70ft. combined)

We would love to participate in one or all of these rides, but are kind of new at this. Our first ever trip with our SXS's away form the Oregon Dunes was Rally in the Pines and St. Anthony this July, so we got a basic idea.

I personally haven't been to the first 2 places but have been to Dove Springs area many times . For the most part the Dove Springs area is mainly dirt roads . We do go up some trails depending on where we go but nothing real bad. Every day will probably be different in how long the rides are . As for what to bring on the rides , we bring something to drink , lunch and snack depending on how long to ride is going to be . All the camp spots will be dry camp and no restrictions on size of vehicle. I have a 43' toyhauler and a Ford F350 crew cab and don't plan on having any problems

Looks like a good place to camp, all the times I been out to Johnson Valley I camped at either Soggy dry lake off Bessemer mind Rd /247 , or Anderson dry lake, off Camp rock road, I like Soggy better, it's close to where your going to camp, there is some small sand dunes out there, but you have to search them out[emoji106]🏽,
It's kind of a long ride from where you'll be camped, but try and make it to Slash X bar/grill.

Soggy dry lake , and Anderson dry lake are some popular places to camp , Soggy's much bigger dry lake, Anderson off Camp Rock Rd is more of just flat area.
From Soggy if you go East you'll get to King of Hammers, in between you'll find the sand dunes, small but fun.
SlashX is off of hwy247 north and little west of Soggy, starts getting more mountains on that side, all the riding is fun out there, if you go on the other side of 247 you'll be in Stoddard Valley, it cool over there too, if you explore around you'll fine some small dry lakes that have the moving rocks, anywhere you camp will be fine.

We'll keep in touch, Barb. We still don't know what our final timing will be, as we just sold a house and escrow is supposed to close just about the first of the month. We may also be going straight to Parker.

I got this info on the Web on how to get to Wagon Wheel campground, looks like it's off Trona Rd , it's been a while since I've been out there, we use to camp at Tegal Wash , or Searles Station, the riding is awesome out there, there are a few Military plane crash sites that they have marked out in this area, going to try and find some of them.
I will try and camp close to the bathrooms , I never been to this camp site, but that's what BLR said. Can't wait going to be fun. [emoji106]

There is a group of fairly local Maverick owners riding out from the Casino Saturday that can take us to, and describe more, hot points of interest and trails around Parker for to investigate later that week.

Getting ready for the Dove Springs trip. Got my side mirrors and spare tire rack mounted. Tire rack mounting holes needed a little adjustment up & down to align. Tie down straps work great!
