Mitch and Alec hit the road early around about 9 and the rest of us left out about 12:30.. not bad considering I’m typically 4 hours late for trips like this.

(Peep the missing front fairing.. dumbass)

Arrived at camp around 4:30. Mitch had already broke a rocker and Alec had roasted a tire.

A pic for me?? How sweet!! Congrats buddy!
 
Day 1 continued

Headed out for a night ride. Left my dirtbike at camp because the LED headlight conversion I did still doesn’t put out enough light. That combined with the Trulys I had was a call for concern.

Hopped in the Heep with Austin and led the charge. Made it up to a mountain top when wouldn’t you know it, Alec had wasted yet another tire.

This is starting to become a trend.

Alec’s lugs are 13/16ths which low and behold nobody had on hand. So we patiently waited for Mitch to run Alec back to camp to get the appropriate toolage. It was fun watching them run around the desert lost and then finally find the correct path back to camp.

Took a leak and headed our way back home.BAF808A7-246B-46B8-91AD-8CEE49D236AF.jpeg
Ended the night back at camp with a fire and cocktail in hand

Beers drank: Well over half our stock
Tires wasted: 2 Falkens

End of day 1
 
Great report thus far! What’s going on with that swaybar link?
 
Day 2

Woke up around about 7. Slept like King on my Amazon queen memory foam mattress and surplus special sleeping bag. Sleeping in the dirt is still always the comfiest.

Today’s goals
-Randsburg Run
-Shoot Guns
-Party

Drivers meeting and coffee

Story time, decided I wanted to go for a rip while breakfast was being prepared and everyone was getting their bearings together. Headed south out of camp no more than a few miles. Put together a killer line and made the decision to head back. Could not find my line for the life of me. I probably climbed 4 hills and covered 30 miles before I decided directions were needed from the local populace. Bush whacked my way over to a semi sketchy compound and flagged down a good soul working on his Nissan hardbody. The dude was very helpful and pointed me in the direction of the main roads through the area. Still lost in my head I begin the bush wracking back to said mains. Out of nowhere Austin and CJ come blasting through on the Ranger SXS. Flagged them down and politely asked them to escort me back to camp. (Definitely putting a GPS on the XR)

Continuing on…
Everyone gearing up for the Randsburg run

Made it into Randsburg unharmed. Found out that the bike tops out at 65-70mph. I was searching for another gear, kind of glad I wasn’t able to find one.

Hard parked

Found a spot at “The Joint” and enjoyed ourselves a couple refreshments.

Love it dude. It's actually been a while since I actually went to Cal City. Miss that place.
