Saturday and Sunday I’m light on pics. We came back down the canyon, we let the sons drive a bit on the graded road back to Ballarat. Some drunk on a stool at Ballarat told me my truck would be cooler with an LS in it….go figure 😂🫡 25 miles back up the pavement Saturday morning to Panamint...

Friday night the kids got rowdy, it warmed my heart. We finally put an end to the kids fun at 11:30PM when we all turned in. This pic turned out great, Fire pit down on the valley floor, and a fire pit on the patio deck Smiles and good times all around.

I enjoyed a lap around camp, “Dinner Safari” as I call it. (Walk around camp at dinner time and enjoy all the smells)

Ok, I’m home, unloaded and exhausted. Trip report: Walker and I left home at 3pm Thursday with Jordan and Jaxon. I had barely met Jordan before. His son Jaxon and my son Walker are friend at school and I knew Jordan had a newer jeep on 35s. I texted him an invite weeks ago with minimal...

I’m here with my dad, Brian and I brought another friend in a jeep. The cabin is cozy and doesn’t sleep very many people. Canyon is steep and rocky and we have to spread out a bit to find flat places to sleep. Weather is good though

Ok my dad just got there in his raptor. (2:30pm Thursday) Big cabin is taken, the stone cabin is ours. Sleeps 6 and room to tent camp around it. So we are good to go. Also if it’s raining and cold, the deck at brigs looking down the canyon with a steel roof is probably a nice place to be.

@Motiracer38 I’ll have a radio on BFGRLY 151.715 Bringing kids? My ETA at Briggs is 7:30/8 too so maybe I’ll see you on the road

Roll call Trip is basically split into 2 groups now, Brandon miller TJ runner Kevin bodj Will be bouncing around between Cal city and speed metal I will be at Briggs cabin tonight. What are your plans boys? @SByota @Ckuebert @Motiracer38

Like Brandon said, fuel in trona, and it’s not that many miles from trona to camp. Like 20-30 miles.

https://webmap.onxmaps.com/offroad/share/content?share_id=01JT2JH3Z7RH0GP0KCAKZRJ2GH It’s 12 miles of dirt from the turnoff near Ballarat to the cabin. Someone please lmk if this link works.

Plan as of right now is to camp at Briggs cabin in the Panamint Valley, Thursday night and Friday. I have a local guy, his kids go to school with my kids, (boys, 10 and 12) who is joining me, In a newer Jeep Rubicon. We will leave Ojai around three, with a target arrival time of 730. My dad...

Go for it! I know this whole trip is kind of effed at this point. Brandon might be into that.

Briggs cabin has a shooting range, and a good set up for shooting at sporting clays. So. Bring a BB gun, pellet gun, 22, I will bring one box of clays and a shotgun

Ok I’m about to scramble this whole trip. I feel like an idiot. Before I set the date, I looked back at my old pics and I have camped in Monachee in late April. And I didn’t think the snow pack was very serious so I figured early May would be safe. Wrong. Sherman pass and Monachee are still...
