Poofighter, the knocked down & buried American flats mill about a year or so ago. We rode up on them as they were in the process. I have some great pics of it, with all of the Graffiti all over it. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...f44d9614f3.jpgQuote:

If enough people want to do VC on the second day, I'm totally up for that.

Ride Johnson Lane Area on the 9th, Leave staging area 9:30AM sharp
Ride Virginia City on the 10th Like that right Jeff?
Great, so I have a basic route that is about 90 miles that the ones that don't want to continue, can go back to the trailer and the die hards, I have another 30 miles that we can do to top it off. Last weekend, me, Manny and Bill, each used 6 gallons to do the 90 miles. I don't know what mark used an David ran out of gas, two miles from the truck. It's only because he has a 900 4 w/ 1000 motor and a 7 gallon tank. I have another 50 or 60 miles that we can do in VC for the following day.Quote:

Mike, there is huge flat area that is about 1/4 mile in and the road is fairly smooth. I'm still up in the air about taking the TH. Depends on what everyone else is doing. Usually, we just ge a hotel room, especially if we're doing two locations. It's not much of a move. About 30 to 40 min.Quote:

I really prefer my trailer over a hotel room, but then VC on the second day is a problem. I also have granddaughter #3 scheduled to be born April 6, so that has to all go according to plan. This is always one of my favorite rides!
I hope it all falls into place Barry, Family always comes first. Some may choose to stay and ride Johnson ln. Just throwing it out there.

No big deal for me, I can go with the hotel , if that's what most are doing, would be easier with having two staging areas.
Congrats BarryQuote:

Hello everybody, I'm new to the site and look forward to some rides.
I'm obviously way behind but I'm wondering if somebody could sum up the trip for me so I don't have to go through 10 pages :-)
Is the trip wife friendly or we just hanging with the guys?
How do I get an adress of the meet up?
What's the deal for lodging?
Or should I go read through the 10 pages?

I can't think of a single ride that isn't wife friendly! This is a family oriented group, and that includes wives, kids, grandkids and dogs!
The assembly site (meet up) for this ride is really simple: south of Carson City on US 395, in the Minden area, is a well marked, east west road called Johnson Lane. Go east about 4 miles and the pavement will end. That is the assembly area!
Lodging is available in several casinos/hotels in Carson City. I personally hate hotels, and love my trailer. My wife and the dog and I will be camping right at the end of Johnson Lane at the assembly area. It's all BLM, so totally legal and acceptable. This will be about our 4th or 5th time there.
Leo and I started this ride many years ago, and one of the best parts is the BBQ/potluck at Neal and Debbie's house. They live about 5 minutes from the assembly area, and you can drive your sXs from "camp" right to their house!
Hope to see you there!
I'm heading up to VC tomorrow to map out a route. If anyone wants to join in, I'll be there tomorrow and Saturday.

Damn! I'm in Shingle Springs and won't be back home until Saturday, otherwise I'd join you. Installed the Bandit shocks. Big difference.

Sorry for the short notice Manny, i was able to free up my schedule at the last minute and the weather is supposed to be good. If your plans change , let me know. We can break in those new shocks.Quote:

Really looking forward to the whole trip, Leo. Great riding, great scenery (we always see wild horses, and have seen Golden Eagles, Rainbow clouds, and so on!) and great food! See you soon, my friend.Quote:

Leo, sorry I wasn't able to give more notice, the opportunity came and I acted. Should have a really cool route, different than the VC ride, planned for the apr 10th. We'll see what Russell thinks today.Quote:
