My GF and I were there on that same trail over thanksgiving weekend a couple of years ago. She was having trouble riding in the sand on the tw, so I parked my ttr250 and rode her around that loop two up on the tw. A real kick in the pants. Trailering back to my mom's place in Indian Wells we stopped and took a another ride up into "Painted Canyon" out by the salt and sea I think. Good times.
That looked like a great camp trip. I do a lot of desert riding as well with a certain beauty all to its own. I love the rocks around camp, reminds me of the Flintstones for some reason. Ok, so I'm not so tech minded as too bring out the computer on a camp trip, but hey, what else do you do besides sleep when the sun goes down. My guess is your camping and riding solo, so no one should care!
I loved your pictures of the moon, stars and night sky. Those are wonderful!
I'll probably never get to that area in my lifetime, so thanks for sharing your video and pictures.
No one ever improved with only himself as an example. Just sayin'. The right people with the right attitude can teach you lot. Like you I generally prefer to ride alone, but I'd drop everything to ride with certain people.
JS5owner puts on a very nice ride in the area, with really great people. Since you seem to be a bit concerned with your riding skills, I'd highly recomend going on one of these rides. The pace is moderate, no one gets hurt or left in the dust, and you'll get nothing but help from this crowd. One weekend with these folks totally changed my S.O.'s view of dirt.

Hey here's an idea if you're around this thanksgiving I'll probably be in indian wells again. Maybe we can hook up for a desert ride.
