Nevada Backroaders

FYI, I was at Frys yesterday and they had a really neat (UP-SCALE) set of radio's for $59.99. I almost bought them but brad said the small ones that I had acquired for "Motor-home" "directions from WIFE" (while parking) is the ones that are ok. I didn't find the ones that I have, have a lot of range..................?
For Scuba Steve I may get in Ash Springs late morning/early afternoon Saturday - I hope this is a full 2 day event - Saturday will almost be shot for me unless things change??? Let me know where to find you???
And if I understood correctly you will be working on Channel one LSB????? (Pardon my ignorance!)

Depending on the weather Friday, I might be going up Friday afternoon too. They keep changing their mind on what day it might rain, or snow.

So far they say 50 for the highs and mid 20's for the lows.

At least dust shouldn't be an issue

The directions for the turnoff are as follows: Drive like you're heading to Caliente/ Pioche (U.S.93), then approx. 7 miles past Alamo (give or take) you will see a sign that says " river ranch road". You should be driving slow by now and watching for this sign. About 100 feet past that sign is a turn off to the right (east). There are a couple of white markers there with red stripes on them. This is where you turn and you should be able to see a group of motorhomes parked about a half mile up on the left. I'll try to put some surveyors tape up for those who are coming up Saturday morning. Try to make it there by 8:00 am. or come up Friday and camp with the rest of us. It's about a 2 hour drive from Las Vegas. We'll be monitoring CB channel 4. If you miss the turn, you'll end up in Ash Springs about a mile and a half down the road and will have to turn around. We'll be doing this Sat. and Sun. and will be out most of the day so make sure to bring supplies. It'll be alot of fun.

what kind of turn out do you think we will have????????????????

Mostly Vegas Valley members. Maybe around 10? Just a guess, probably more.

Approx.... GPS co-ords for the right turn off from US 93 are N37 26.592 W115 11.101. Then 3/4 of a mile up the dirt road make a left turn towards the motorhomes.

10 people total or 10 from NB? BTW when you headed up Steve?

at least 10 from vegas valley. maybe 4 from nb. These are just guesses. I don't have a set time for leaving yet. Sometime before 1:00

Thanks Gary, Art, Stan and Andy S. for helping with this new trail ( scuba gap ). I had fun breaking a new trail, hope you guys did too. See you next trip.

Steve

Wait a minute, Scuba Gap? I for one shall remember it as Ram's Head, in honor of my new pet. The dog's like him, the cats hate him, and the wife thinks he's cool. Plus he doesn't eat much, so I think we'll keep him

An it was a fun outing.

Glad your new pet is working out so well although he was a little loosely connnected at first. I like the ones that stay put where you leave them.

Here's a note from Dean @ Vegas Valley. All of you that were with me might like to read how they made out.

All,

We now have an upper entrance to Pebble Creek. Credits listed below!

Not for the faint hearted or those that have a fear of sliding uncontrollably down a 400ft drop

Many thanks to Scuba Steve and his gang (Nevada Backroaders/VV4W) for finding and cutting a path about 2/3rds of the way there!!!!!

Next to our own (insane) (that looks easy) (let Mikey do it) (Toy roller) Dave for cutting a path up the next ridge. One NASTY ridge!

Next to Doc for guiding and spotting us through some "interesting" boulder areas.

We wheeled all except the last .9 miles (and about 1,000 ft down) bit of it. Walking sucks!

We need about 3 extra strong (strapping) gents with breaker bars to move a 'few' rocks. We're thinking an early start 3/12 (Sunday). Leave camp about 7:30 ish am. If we take the highway, we can be to the 'issue' part in about 45 minutes.

The loop in the middle of the map is Pebble Creek.It drops into the wash about 400 ft. above where we normally drop in.

Many thanks to everyone!... Dean
