I am sure somebody already posted this but what day does everyone plan on getting up there? I plan on being there Thursday afternoon. That place seemed to me like it would be a nightmare if you got there any later than that.

 

some time thursday, plan on leaving bend early thursday morning and it looks to be about 8 hrs away. think gary is leaving early friday morning.

 

Thrusday morn.6am ish 12-14 hr drive save me a spot guy's[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

talked to gary late yesterday and he said he will be there thursday also. hey can you have a camp fire there or is it a no burn area? looks like friday should be a good day everyone should have a camp site and set up. is there anything special to know about getting there? i see on the map it is east of fallon, is it marked well or do you need a better map. what area does everyone try to camp? come on duneme take charge and get the game plan set up[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Uh oh. . . pressure is on [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

As you get into Fallon. . . first obey the speed limit signs - don't want anyone to start their weekend off with a ticket. Fill up here as it will be your last chance at fuel. Fallon is a good 20 minutes from the Mt. so . . get ice, beer, gas, etc. before you leave town. (We suggest anywhere but the last gas station on the left as it is a Indian owned gas station and the tribe is pushing for the closure of Sand Mt. - not saying all of the tribe is pushing but, the gas station is obviously a source of income for the tribe and they should want to keep the Mt. open!)

If you need to fill your trailer up with water, I have had good luck filling up at the Chevron (free). Some people will say don't drink the Fallon water so, if you are concerned plan accordingly (higher than average Child Lukemia!) I'm sure for showers, etc. it doesn't matter.

About 10 to 15 minutes out of Fallon there is a ***** house on the right. . . you are headed the correct direction!

You will go around two more turns (I think) after a couple long straight a-ways and there will be a sign telling you about the recreation area on the left. You should be able to see some lights out there (if you are arriving at night.) From the highway you will probably say, "That's It!" But, as you get closer and ride over the back of the Mt. you will realize the riding area is bigger than it looks.

As for the camping. . . I would think Sean - Jetsnow would be one of the first to arrive and would have a pretty big circle. We usually try to get a circle down towards the first bathroom (on the left just past the ranger / camping permit area.)

I'll try to get a feel for who in my group is going and when they are going and post something describing their vehicles so you can look for them.

I'll get you my mobile # so you can call me. It will all work out.

 

sounds easy enough, but that water for a shower is a bad joke. went to fallon in 85 with the military and that was a real learning experience. but hey it was funny then and would be again

 

Duneme i will be leaving hopefully friday night and getting ther late,i will have a grey 02 Dodge ram1500 on 20"rims with a black and red raptor in the back that is bad looking,it will be my first time there so all the help is appreciated..thanks guy's...and tony i am going to call you tonight...

 

Sam,

Do you plan to sleep through Saturday? I'm thinking if you leave LATE Friday you wont get there till early Saturday morning, considering it is a 8 - 10 hour drive.
