John Hoag and I are putting together a trip for the last weekend in April. We will leave L.A. very early Saturday morning the 28th for Bakersfield, where we will attend the Bakersfield Landcruiser Rally and swapmeet. This is a fun little event, and we both picked up some cheap goodies last year and made a couple of new friends.
In the afternoon we will head East on Hwy 58 thru Mojave and up to Jawbone Canyon to join CORVA and the Friends of Jawbone in their annual Moose Anderson Days event. They will be sponsoring a clean up earlier in the day [which we will miss] but will have dinner, campfire, and a couple of four wheel drive runs on Sunday. We will hopefully be putting something together for the Friends of Bickel Camp between now and then, and going out with whichever group ends up going to Bickel.
Then we will probably be staying Sunday night in one of the refurbished cabins in Bonanza Gulch. Weather depending, it may be nicer to sleep out of doors. But the winds in that area are fickle, so it's nice to have options.
If the ambition strikes deep enough, we will get up VERY EARLY Monday morning to take on the 12 mile hile up and back from Black Mountain, an ancient Indian gathering place with a lot of rumoured petroglyphs and artifacts.
If you're interested, you can call or e-mail John [calico kid] or CALL me [please, NO MORE PM's!]
