If anyone can make this run, please try to do so.
I will probably be out of town on Sat., but if I'm able to change thins, then I'll be there Saturday only.
Here is some additional information that I just received:
Directions to the camp and project site. The project description is shown below.
>From Barstow: Take I 40 east to the Goffs Road exit. I think that it is Exit 107. Turn left at the bottom of the offramp and go under the highway. (Look for the CA4WDC sign) In about a quarter of a mile you will pass the most expensive gas station in California, $5.29 for Regular, so I hope that you topped off in town, as this is the last gas before the Mojave Road. The convenience store is 'reasonably' priced. Continue on Goffs Road for about 10 miles and turn left at Lanfair Road. (Look for the CA4WDC sign) If you miss Lanfair Road and cross the railroad tracks, turn around, you've gone too far. [FYI: The Goffs Schoolhouse is at the corner of Goffs Road and Lanfair Road] Continue north on Lanfair Road for about 17 miles. Look for Cedar Canyon Road on the left. Just past Cedar Canyon Road, turn right on to the AT&T Cable Route. (Look for the CA4WDC sign) Continue east about 6 miles to the campsite. The road is good for high clearance vehicles with a couple of sandy washes.
>From Twentynine Palms: Take Highway 62 to National Trails Highway/Route 66, turn right. Continue on through Amboy, Danby and Essex. Just past Essex, turn left on Goffs Road. Go under I 40 and follow same directions as above.
Be alert on the drive out and back. There will be a lot of bikes on the road, as our project coincides with the Laughlin River Run. It will be a Hog Heaven.
The nearest motel is in Needles. There is no specific site for motorhome parking, and the Cable Route IS NOT motorhome accessible. Camping rules in the Mojave Preserve prevail.
Camping at the work site is primitive, pack it in pack it out. A porta-potti will be on site. Campfire each night, bring wood.
Tools helpful: Shovels, picks, pry bars, wheelbarrows, small trailers, pickup trucks, gloves, eye protection, hats, sunscreen, water. Drinking water will be available on site too.
We're gonna be throwing a lot of rocks!
Dinner will be provided for all volunteers on Saturday, April 26.
