The man way to the desert bar is 73 miles one way. We would have to leave desert bar and head into Parker to get gas to be able to make it back on fuel.

we would leave desert bar to get fuel about 10 miles and then return to cienega springs road to do our return trip home.

overall mileage is ~160 miles round trip.

some things to note.
1. This is starting and stopping from daves house. And offroading from top of mcculoch vs starting std wash area
2. Planet ranch is a water crossing and depending how much rain havasu gets could turn the trip around.
3. This is all day and has the real possibility of return at night. People need to be prepared as you need spare tires, belts, and misc tools.
4. Not a race and we will be stopping for quick breaks but not Loose Nuts aka river daves types of breaks lol

There would be no reason to go back to Cienega Springs. Get gas and hit Shea RD then head to Planet Ranch.

Maybe we can meet you guys at Planet ranch and do that part of the run with you guys Friday. How long will it take you guys to get there leaving Havasu at 8? 2 hours?

we’re supposed to do that run on sat. Yea I think about two hours. We have race radios too do you? Do you know if crossing planet ranch is feasible with all the rain?

Yes on radios. Ok on Saturday.

On Planet Ranch I really have no clue. We’ve gone across to go to the cabin from Parker but never when or after it’s rained.

I’m still cleaning @DLC seat from our almost roll over lol. That was a lot of fun and a big group!

I’ll be back out for the poker run in a couple of weeks.

@LargeOrangeFont you down for another night ride then?

oh I need a damn windshield. It was cold once we got on the highway.

I think we will be whipped after 75 miles of riding on the poker run personally.

Haha i wish you coulda heard me on the comms....OH NO OHHHHH SHIT Fuck ME He pulled it off....haha i was ready to go tip you back over. Wife had no idea what was going on lol.

Also it was so damn cold. I literally hauled ass the whole way into the garage...was super low on gas but i was not stopping....pulled the general into the garage and parked it....took it back out of the garage next morning to clean it and it stalled right there out of gas....told the wife on the way home that we ran out of gas....She read me the riot act. Was so pissed lol....i was like what you made it home fine! I guess she wasnt interested in the possibility of a 2am uber to the house to pick up the truck and a gas can to pick me up on the side of the road lol

I was standing there next to Billy and saw Ian up on two wheels and said. "That was fast.." guy looks at me and says "what?" I responded "One broke and one crashed" and he finally turned right and brought back onto 4 wheels.. LOL. :D

Needless to say I didn't think he was gonna save it, but he did.
