According to a previous trip log, this seems to be the best for the western side.

Western part of the Mojave National Preserve: WA6TST Rodman Peak 147.885(+) PL 151.4 - linked to Barstow 147.180(+) PL 151.4

I have the Ludlow repeater locked in so let's give that one a go.

I would be willing to lead a group to the lava tubes and meet at the camp if people want to go.  Fire Ninja has his son, nephew, and cousin with him, and I'll have my father and brother in law with me that have never seen them.  I don't want to make the entire group stop for just a few of us.

It's only 11 minutes off the Mojave Rd.

Anyone have an SCCX sticker for the mailbox? I was thinking if I can find a frog, gnome or maybe a Xterra matchbox car to add them to the collection.

 I spoke with the manager again at the hotel and she said even though our group rate window is closed you can call her direct and she will make sure you can still get the group rate should you change your mind and decide not to head back that afternoon/early evening when we head back. PM me and I'll get you her phone number.

We are excited for the trip!  We will be rolling in Saturday morning and will be rolling back to Vegas instead of staying in Laughlin at the finish of the trail.

Rain is in the forecast for this week in the Mojave...looks like the rail line passage is in the running!

  I've been watching that and it seems about 1/4" is called for between Mo/Tu with some moderate winds. The rainfall is supposed to be intermittent so it will be able to soak up. I'm going to evaluate it when we get out there but by Saturday morning it should have tightened up enough that it shouldn't be a worry and we can still cross the lake bed.

From what I'm seeing is Barstow had .40 of rain over Mo-Tu. It was fairly windy out there during the day yesterday and today/tomorrow calls for sun so I'm thinkin it's on for the lake bed route finally.

Looks like AJ and I will be rolling in on Saturday morning.  My goal is to be there between 9-930.  I will keep the Ludlow repeater on when i get closer so if you need to reach out, you can.
