Death Valley National Park Info and Guide

Like all national parks, entering Death Valley NP we are subject to the same National Parks Rules and Regulations

National Park FEES


please read.

first, there's no cell service at PSR, then we can't rely on the spotty wifi to connect to the outside. there are cell services at furnace creek (not sure if stovepipe has signal). we are pretty much unplugged for most of the time.

yes....i will have a sat phone for emergency use (2 others are bringing theirs)....


if you want the #, send me an email at advsprinter at gmail.com

please include

name - advhandle - phone #

share the # with your family members to contact you in case of an emergency at home. you may also use the phone on a limited basis; for emergency or special case.


"2013 noobs death valley rally" is also known as the march madness dv rally. death valley has so much to offer, all kinds of terrain, from too easy to very challenging. so many places to ride, some are less than 3 miles from camp, and some are far enough that your limit is your fuel range.

happy to say, this will be our 8th event, and just keep on getting better

past RR:

1st noob's rally, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th

if you have the time, please check out the RRs.

this is an event that is focused to get noobs and returning adv riders to come out and meet like minded people. taking care of the noobs has been our tradition, however, the rest of the year - you're on your own........... j/k

not just for noobs, the truth is all skill levels are welcome;and had participated in the past. as always, many helped out and provided support.

another objective of this event is to raise money for charitable organizations dedicated protecting our cause - the enjoyment of the outdoors and sharing of the trails and public lands. donations had been made to california off-road vehicle association (corva), blue ribbon society (brc) and stewards of the sequioas (sos). couple of years ago, we raised a good amount of $ and were sent to "rider down foundation" through jimmy lewis. we plan to do the same thing again this time.

donation summary

$1K to blue ribbon coalition

$1k to corva

$800 to stewards of the sequoia

$200 to rider down foundation

the amount is not much. please check out their website and be a member, give donations and volunteer.

they need our help.


hope to see you many of you there...


PLEASE do not PM me asking for details or making inquiry, POST THEM UP!

others and i will try to answer your question. many could benefit from the answers too. thank you.

EVENT DETAILS AND INFORMATION

1. the event is from thursday to sunday

2. come in earlier or leave later...you're on your own, including camping.

3. when you arrived at the campground, please check in at site #46. marcia or me or another person will help you. if no is one there, there will be a note with a direction.

4. pick up your name badge (it will have your first name and adv handle below), and we suggest you wear it while in the campground. it's good to know people by their first name - good beginning.

5. your name badge will have your dinner code. DT = thursday dinner, DF = friday dinner and DS = saturday dinner or D3 - 3 nights dinner. that is your pass for whatever dinner you paid.

6. you also get a raffle ticket. make sure you write your adv handle on the back of the ticket. we won't be calling ticket # but your adv handle. put ticket in the raffle jar.

7. you could also inquire at the reception for your campsite # if you don't know or just to verify.

8. if you made a donation via paypal, you should get 1 raffle ticket for every $10 you donated. do the same, write your adv handle in the back of the ticket. see me if you need to clarify something.

9. extra raffle tickets are available, $10 each. there will be someone in charge - tbd.

10. there will be a collection jar for trash disposal - it's all voluntary. the cost for the weekend is $500. yes folks, disposing trash in the desert is expensive. it's always a good practice - bring it, use it and take it home or pack it in - pack it out. if we only all take responsibility of our action this won't be needed.

DINNER will be at site #46 - BRING YOUR OWN FORK, SPOON, SPORK AND CUP. ONCE YOU'RE DONE WITH YOUR PAPER PLATE - WE WILL HAVE AN AREA TO BURN THOSE PAPER PLATES. NO PLASTICS PLEASE!

if you could not get there on time, prearrange with someone to pick your food, but you have to give your name badge to this person. no badge - no dinner

after everyone get their portion (no more line) and if there are still extra food, feel free to go for your second.

11. thursday dinner @ 6 pm is a fund raising event for Stewards of the Sequoia. only those who prepaid can participate in the dinner. please show your name badge with the dinner code to avoid any embarrassment. others are welcome to hang out.

thursday dinner menu - cheeseburger, chili, etc. bob aka lonestar is the master chef. please offer your help.

12. jimmy lewis demo @ 4 - 6 pm

13. friday dinner @ 6 pm - shrimps and scallop pasta, salad, etc.

COMMEMORATIVE GLASSES WILL BE GIVEN AWAY ON FRIDAY @ DINNER TIME, THEY ARE YOURS TO KEEP. TRAVELTOAD IS DONATING THESE WITH THE SUPPORT OF JEFF (JAB).

14. saturday dinner @ 6 pm - carne asado and chicken taco, salad, beans or rice, lemonade

15. sopascat will be baking the adv famous brownies and will get passed around the campfire on saturday night

RAFFLES ARE ON BOTH FRIDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHTS @ site #46. jimmy (1224r), todd (big todd) and bill (conteacher) will be the emcees. other volunteers - marcia, nicole, and more volunteers.

it is not necessary you be there to win as long you leave your badge with someone to pick your prize.

you are entitled to 1 raffle ticket if you present your national park fee stub or annual pass.

I have an EZ-Up that anyone here can use, provided you come and get it. I'm riding in and have no way to haul it. It is a 10x10 with the angled legs for slightly better stability.

Let me know...

The Changing Mat is a lightweight folding mat that will keep your wheel out of the dirt when changing a flat. The pocket it packs into becomes a temporary storage place to keep all the small parts, like your axle nut, value stem or tools when doing a tire change. It will keep your socks clean when changing out of your riding gear. It serves as a door mat when getting in and out of your tent. Use it for a food prep station when you don't have a picnic Mat. Only your imagination will limit the many ways you can use The Changing Mat.

Hey Joel,
No sign of my payment yet? I personally dropped it in a mail box on the 4th. I mailed it from Key West and it was a mo for $212 for me and Berolina #104 and #105. If you haven't received it by tomorrow I will paypal you and I'll see what I can do about a lost mo. Maybe I can get my money back from the post office.

SAR List and GPS Tracks:

The tracks we have to date for DV can be downloaded from here:
File Name: DVTracks.gpx
Blue = Beginner - Maintained or graded dirt or rough old pavement.
Red = Intermediate - Unmaintained dirt, 4x4 recommended.
Tan = Advanced - Never been maintained, 4x4 req, possible single-track.
Black = Expert - Gnarly single-track.

Color code is approximate, not exact. Conditions can change year to year.

http://dsm8.crazytrend.com/


SAR Input form:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...UHhfV1otRmc6MQ

What to Bring List:
There have been a lot of great examples of what to bring, in DV prepare for the worst. This is a list of what you should have on your person for each days ride.
You might not need it but be glad it is there in case you do.

• Food and water - in case you spend the night on the trail.
• emergency space blanket (they pack small)
• OTC Pain Meds - Asprin, Aleve etc
• Flash light/head light
• Spot - Good idea to have
• Duct Tape - This can be used as a bandaid, splint etc

On the bike you should have at a min 2 tubes, hand pump and what ever tools and extra fasteners your brand of bike is prone to losing.


And most important use common sense. If you are at Tea Kettle, a new rider and it is getting dark.
Take the easy way home, Lippencott is not the right choice.
Pride cometh before the fall (and fall and fall and fall...you get the idea).

Sometimes it is better to wait for help than to keep going. If you are with a group and one person is broke down wait with the broken down person while the faster riders (if present) go for help. They will tell the people coming to get you there are two bikes not just one for example. Just use your best judgement, that is by far the most important tool you have.

thanks dave for your help and sharing your knowledge of the area. FOLKS, GO TO PAGE 1 TO SEE THE ORIGINAL POST.

use these tracks to check out the routes and view them on google earth, which i use all the time when i plan my routes. of course the terrain can vary after a storm.

those with different or similar tracks please send them to dave.

good chance weeks before the event, the ride leaders will post their tracks too.

if you're planning to do more riding in strange and remote places, get a gps and be familiar with it while we have plenty of time.

if you want an advise on a gps, post up here or at the other threads.
