Panamint Valley Days / Nov. 7-9

[tjTerry]

Panamint Valley Days is coming up,
I think Nov7-9. Has anyone been to that event? It looks like it might be a good opportunity to see some new trails.
Also thanks to all for the the great trail ride up Rowher flats. I ran it again last weekend with a buddy. Sorry I missed the B-Que, it looked like fun.

I've heard it's a pretty packed event, like all of the others. I'd be interested in checking it out tho ... do we have to register?

I'm going!

I'll be there. Extremely beautiful and rich with history. I'm totally looking forward to it!

I went last year and it was sooooo windy I left after 1 full day. It was so windy that the port-o-potties blew over, my 10'x17' tent broke and it rained the entire time except during the raffle.

My advice is to bring a small low profile tent (2 man size) and bring extra fuel. I was driving to Trona after each trail ride to refuel. Aired down with a head wind I would return to camp with 3/4 of a tank left!

I'd love to meet fellow MJR wheelers out there!

Other than the weather, which I should've expected or at least prepared for, everything was cool! It wasn't very crowded as you might expect. The trail rides had roughly 1 dozen vehicles each.

I'm prepared for this year's PVD!

Death Valley is AWESOME one of my all-time favorite places in the world.

I hope to someday retire in the Owens Valley so i can make quick trips around the mojave and Death Valley.

This event looks good I am planning on attending, hopefully for the trail rides Friday and Saturaday. I will be camping with enclosed trailer " Miracle Motorsports". If anyone wants to get together and do some side runs.

rockin! i believe we're going to register!

Panamint Valley Days

We're planning on attending. That is if we can get the rear end back together in time. My wife was driving it before the Hi Desert Round Up and the rear bearings went out. She babied it home, good thing it was at the Victor Valley College and we live across from there.
I've got the pinion shaft seated and got to put the carrier back in along with the axles and I'm done. That should be an hour job. We plan on bringing the kids, it'll be Sean's (2yr old) first time four wheeling since he was born. We went to the Hi Desert Round Up while Sandy was pregnant with him. She rode the whole thing except the Rock Gardens. She got out and took some pics.
If we're there look for the 98 Chili Pepper Red Jeep with Marvin the Martian on all four corners and a dented front end on the driver's side.

I'm sending my money this week. It should be a fun weekend.

[sarah]

cool - i made a attendee list at the top.

I just got my confirmation last night. From reading the posts following yours, it looks like I will be packing the heavy duty gear for my slumber comfort and the Jeep will be buttoned up.

This will be my first organized run ever. I can't wait.
