Gold Point / Death Valley October Rally

You're welcome

Do I need to pay in advance for pitching a tent out there? If so, where?

Looking at the first post I don't see anything about it (other than donation there), but I'm feeble-minded and may be looking right over something and would like to pay if I owe thanks

I think you just have to RSVP..........but I forget where to send the e-mail. I still need to do so.

You can pay Herb upon arrival. He prefers cash as his ghost town isn't set up for credit/debit.
If you want to partake in his cooking, you need to call or email Herb to reserve your meals.
Looking forward to your report getting out here.

I sent the email, thanks guys. Peeked at post 1 again. My brain is feeble

I asked Herb if he accepts Floridians out there too

BTW, his email addy is reservations@goldpointghosttown.com

Update, Herb got my mail and CALLED me back and explained everything. Extremely nice gentleman and he too said crazy Floridians are welcome out there

Oh, and he said if i come in a few days early and he's not at the house by the 3 firetrucks, check in the "Saloon area"

Our group is coming up Thursday and we will start or first ride Friday morning

Excellent! See you at Gold Point!

Indeed

count me in as one of the "noobs", I'll be riding in from Tampa FL with a DSLR cam and cannot wait to meet and ride with you all, see that area and take just one or two pics (edit in) and eat Herb's vittles

There will be three main rides going out and in the evening there will be some events and giveaways...

There isa lot of planning behind the scene for this one so can't let the cat out of the bag....

I'm in. Sounds like a great time!

Plus one more, my son is coming too.

Some more teasers...







I know where the geodes are



A long hill climb I almost made...

Nice!

Tapatalk but there has to be a better way

great job jason in keeping this event moving along.

can't wait. we'll see you and the gang.

thanks for posting those cool pics.

Looks like I have a maybe from the fiance. I will be tenting with a car and open trailer. Is there room for me?

Looks like 10 bucks a night with showers and bathroom. Right?

Gah,, will have to buy 2 aftermarket big tanks for this! 110 mile range wont work!

Hi if you email Herb per post #1 he will call you with ALL details and then some. SUP NICE guy. I plan to ride in from FL and camp, and although my KLR holds it share of fuel I figure someone might run out and need some and I had the gas can in the garage anyway. Here's a simple solution for more fuel. The Rotopax gas cans are fairly cheap and simple to mount or just strap under your cargo on the rear seat.

I could have easily done another gallon the same way on the other side rack too.

Refused to pay $40-50 for the "factory plate" to mount my spare fuel tank onto the KLR. This project then went "KLR on the cheap" style

Instead I got $16 worth of parts/nuts/bolts and fab'd my own.

I usually shop Target, but Teressa finds this cutting board at the Wal-mart store


So under the knife it goes..... and the cut off pieces fall right into the recycle bin. Not that I'm all green like that....


Couple of dollars worth of Ace Hardware bolts and these weird rubberized straps that allowed us to bolt a flat object to a tube and we're there.


Added the part of the rotopax tank that gets mounted to a plate. Then I added some padding strips for no other reason than piece of mind. Plus i like it because the rotopax/wolfman plate didn't have such =)


Now I'm ready to throw over the wolfman soft panniers on and roll. With 50-60 miles, 1 gallon more gasoline for the desert (in addition to the KLR's already 6.1)

Finally remebered to email Herb on Friday night. Talked with him today. Now I need to get my sh!t together.

steveWFL I like the penny tech. My grandfather was a master at that kind of engineering. Fortunately for me I paid attention to his wisdoms.
