It looks like the date that works best for everyone is the Nov. 14, 15, and 16th date. This will be an outing that pretty much anyone with a well maintained 4 wheel drive can do.

On day one we were planning on doing the Swansea to Cerro Gordo ridge route. It travels from Lone Pine to over 10,000 ft in elevation and on to Cerro Gordo, which is basically a high mountain ghost town. Lots to see with a trail rating of moderate.

On day 2 we have several options to choose from. We can split into groups and do anything from sight seeing runs to extreme. Last year we visited Charlie Mansons hide out up Golar Wash and stopped in the ghost town of Balarat. Lots to see around that area.

We are planning on staying at the Panamint Spring Resort which is located between the runs that we have planned. The resort has a campground with hookups, a restaurant, motel rooms, a small general store and gas. We stayed there last year and it worked out nicely. I’m told the motel rooms are not the greatest, but what can I say. There better then nothing.

Please note. If there is not adequate interest in this outing, it could be canceled or the date changed. I will keep you informed. As of right now though, I am hoping for a good turn out.

Please let me know if you are interested in attending. I’d like to compile a list and call Panamint Springs and see what their bookings look like for that weekend.

That’s it for now. Hope to hear from you.
