I've been to Coyote Flats recently and I hear Silver Canyon in the White Mountains could be a good run.

Silver Canyon has some great features; last time up we saw Big Horn Sheep.  There are runs everywhere, so it's a matter of getting something planned and then I can do some route planning.  From technical runs to sight seeing, the Sierras have it all.
There are plenty of hotels, and a nice private campground on the south end of town near the golf course called "Browns Campground",  from tent to R.V., it's nice there. 
Say when........

After a hard day here in San Diego last Friday, the wife and I jumped into the X, headed East on Hwy 67, picked up sandwiches at Quizno's in Ramona, drove out to Ocotillo Wells SVRA to eat and play in the sand for a bit (no photos, man it was dark!), then headed towards Salton Sea, down to El Centro for a shake at DQ (it was closed) then back on I8 to home.  All in all about a 200 mile evening of R&R. 

Distance is obviously not so much of a concern as what kind of wheeling will be done and how long we will be out.  It's been a long, long time since we've done any tent camping and are kind of spoiled by the amenities of our Class A.   Grin

I took my first trip up to Lone Pine last March...  great area, with lots of picture taking opportunities!!  ; )

And for those of us that prefer indoor plumbing (lol), there are some quite reasonably priced motels in the area.   We stayed at the Dow Villa, which is less than a block from the turnoff to Whitney Portal and Alabama Hills.

That reminds me... I should post some of of my photos from that trip when I get a chance... got some cool panoramics, some with the old X in them, too!  ; D
