Phil Winsryg will lead a trip out of Searchlight into the Mojave to visit the old Hart Mine and the ghost town of Juan Nevada. This is an all day trip so bring lunch. This trail has a couple sections that could rate a level 2/2.5 tops. We’ll meet in Searchlight at the Searchlight Nugget Casino at 0800 and roll at 0830. For more info call Brad at 702/497-9154. 8)

phil and i, and a couple of other folks, just got done pre-running the trail for the upcoming february 25th club run. i need to let everyone know a few things. the majority of this trail rates about a hard 1.5 but there are a couple sections that push real close to a level 2 rating. the trail is also tight with plant growth, especially mesquite and acacia which both have thorns, and if you value the paint on your vehicle you may want to not go on this run. you will get some serious major and deep desert pinstripe. even the cholla cactus is very close to the trail and the chance of getting a cactus spine flat exists but most of all this trail is not full size long wheel base friendly. there are a number of gullies and washouts that will most likely cause a long wheel base vehicle to high-center or drag bumpers possibly bad enough to cause vehicle damage. sorry to be the barer of bad news to our long wheel base members but we really don't want someone tearing up there vehicle and having no fun because of it. if you have any questions please call me at 702/497-9154 or e-mail me at wbcozart@aol.com 8)

I was feeling bad 'cos we can't go - I have to go to Magic Mtn. with a group of high school kids on a big bus. Trust me - I'd rather be wheelin'
However, now that I know about the risk of serious scratches on this run, I feel slightly better. We do like our electric lime green jeep!
Have fun, everyone. See ya next time!

Theres no way we'll miss this one now, besides desert pinstripings not damage it's character. Can't wait see you all there!

Just in case you didn't see the new post. :D

This "Club Run" has been changed to a "fun run" due to the trail not being long wheelbase friendly. :(

Check here for details. This run is still on.
