Hey everybody!
As some of you may remember, two years ago my dad and I made the trek down to Ocotillo Wells to go riding for a few days. We managed to cover a good chunk of ground, but felt the need to come back to experience it again. We will be staying at the Desert Ironwood Resort in Borrego Springs (again).
So we have a few questions. First, we are heading down the 5 right now and are trying to decide what route would be the quickest, factoring in traffic. Starting at the grapevine/happy valley area, what would be the best route to take? As of 9:30ish we have 300-something miles till we hit LA if we stay on I-5.
Second, where should we try to ride to while we are out there? We went to a lot of cool places the last time we went, like the pumpkin patch, tether ball, arch, blowsand hill, the gas domes, devils slide, fire hydrant and a few other places. We love having a destination to our rides, so what other points of interest are out here? We are thinking of trying to ride out to a missile test site by the salton sea, and want to head out to superstition mountain. Any other recommendations? Good places to stop for lunch? Cool places in town?
Thanks guys!
