The Santa Clarita Costco is right off the freeway (Hwy 14) at Via Princessa. There is also a Mobil & a Shell station very close by. Sam's Club is about 10 minutes off the freeway, for any Sam's Club members. There is also a MacDonalds at the corner of Via Princessa & Sierra Hwy. I suggest those of us coming up the 14 to the 395 should meet at the MacDonalds, at 8:00 AM, fueled up & ready to roll. Given the spiking gas prices, lines may be a little longer than usual, though Costco gas lines tend to move very quickly. In any event, please allow enough time for fueling up, grabbing a bite to eat, and using the restroom, to still be rolling at 8:00 AM.With the insanely high fuel prices and with most individuals having some type of club membership, I noticed that the COSTCO and SAMS clubs were in close proximity to each other just before crossing the Santa Clarita river on HWY 14. This could be a good spot to meet.
For any who want to come up the 15 to either 138 & 14 to Palmdale, or straight to the 395; we should be passing through Palmdale at about 8:45 AM, and through Lone Pine by about 10:45-11:00 AM. If all goes well, we should hit Big Pine by about noon for a lunch/comfort stop; and Eureka Dunes by about 3:00 PM, so plenty of time to set up camp & prepare dinner before dark.
Does that sound good to everyone?
