Anybody up for a night run over Bitter Springs? Meet at 7PM @ Moapa Trible Shop (I-15 and Valley of fire exit). Roll at 7:30PM. 8)

I'm up for it if, and that's a big if, I get ready for Ely by then.



Not to hijack, but what do you think about doing Arrow Canyon as a night run later on Bob? Other than Dead Bug Butte giving some folks a challenge, I think it'd be doable. Going through the slot canyon at night might be quite an experience 8)

Arrow Canyon and Wheelers would make for good runs. Mormon could also be good.

I was looking for something to do. Maybe I'll go play with the kayak at the lake during the day and go for a nite run later that evening with you all. That sounds great!!! I'll most likely be there. I don't think I have anything else pressing :D

we would like to join you on that one, if that run is something we can do. Any camping after the run?? But have to ask the wife first before commiting. :P

Hey Mike, I believe it is all stock friendly. At least the last time I was on it anyway. We did the last part of the trail when we did the run for Lola. The rest of the trail isn't much different terrain. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong. :wink:

Bitter Spring and Morman Well are very stock friendly and Arrow Canyon is not very hard unless you want to tackle Pinch Rock :twisted: and it pinches quite hard too :shock: .

If we show up, we will be there. :twisted:

Not sure yet.

Murhpy's Law always applies to me- If you wheel right before Ely trip you will break something :roll:
Maybe I will show up- I like the night runs but I am just worried I will break something right before Ely.

Now you sound like me Craig!! It's Bitter Springs for crying out loud. Nothing hard about that. What could go...I'd finish that statement but I don't want to be jinxed. :P :D (as I knock on my wooden dresser). Wait a minute...I was born on Friday the 13th, what am I worried about???? :wink:

Bitter Springs is an easy trail. There is really only on tricky spot. That is Dickies exit. Lockers in that spot are definately helpful, unless your name is Justin, then you just put your foot to the floor and go. Don't worry Mike, that is just an extra on the trail. If you stay on the main road you will be fine.

I need to tag along just to learn the names and places. Only thing I remember about the ride is the big petrified rabbit, I hope it's visible at night.
