GPS Way Points: OK, got most of the GPS way points ready to post or include into a PM & flier for all attendees. I'll be running these waypoints in my Nat Geo Topo California software (hi res topo maps).

The way points are in the Charles Wells Guide to S. Cal. There is one other reference I found with way points (not as many) and I'll be comparing them hopefully in the next day or two.

FWIW, the other well known and recommended book for this trail (Dennis Casebier's Mojave Road Guide) doesn't even have any way points but is a good read. I hope he updates it with the waypoints and then publishes a new version/issue.

There are a number of neat sights we'll be seeing who's location and information I'm reading about for the trip.

Who's Going? So for the maybe or can't go's... how can we change your mind & get you to get out of what you've got conflicting this trip yet? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

What To Bring: I'll also be posting what you should have for this trip soon so you can prepare. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Other Groups On The Trail: OK, as I'm sure may of you have already read, there will be another group of 4x4's on this trail. Fortunately they'll be moving in the opposite direction.

[b]A Park Recreation Permit[b] is also required for groups with 7 or more rigs or 15 participants which I noted briefly above. The permits is $50 & I'll be getting that permit a couple of weeks before the trip if required and will be happy to pay up front and everyone can just pay me once we meet up at camp.
