Me, Eddie, Solid, Garrett, Grant and 10 others went on a ride from soggy dry lake bed that wasnt so dry and was supposed to end up at slash X cafe.
Well with a google map and a gps we got all turned around and almost ended up in calico :shock: not to mention our ride support rhino they brought couldnt go past 20mph....kinda sucked but still had fun
made it to slash x way late and was going to run late on daylight
a few of us took the street plated bikes back to camp to get the trucks and back to slash x to grab everyone else.

ended up at 54 miles of dirt for the whole group and 41 miles of pavement for myself and 3 others.

the guy with a gps just sent me a layout of our ride via google earth.

the bottom right of the blue tracking was where we started and the top left of the blue tracking is where we originally wanted to end up at.
you can see our "OH, we went too far North" turn around spike at the top middle

we were out riding so it wasnt all that bad.

RM60!?! Holy Crap! :shock: :shock:

You'll need to tour the usual spots: Burro Schmidt tunnel, Husky, Randsburg, etc...the only thing I havent found yet is the F18 crash site...working on it tho..

Yep on my RM 60. I would love to go back to all those places. It's been way to long since I have seen them. Is the tunnel still open and who runs it now?

My buddy had it on GPS a while ago - I'll ask and see if I can get coordinates. And its not an F18 (DUH)....its the X-15...heres a link:
