Ridecamp: Re: [RC] Coso Junction

Hi Melanie,

I probably can give you some info about the ride.
It is held at Coso Junction, Hwy 395. I would guess 
about 5-6 hours from Poway depending on traffic. Ride 
camp is behind the Coso Junction store. Yes, there is a 
Taco Bell there besides food at the Coso Store. We are 
also offering dinner Friday, Saturday and Sunday. 
Parking is flat with access to people and horse water. 
There is a gas station and for those of you with 
facilities, a free dumping station at the rest stop 
across the street from the store.
The trail is desert hills and does have sand and some 
rocks. You might see some wild horses as they do travel 
to Haiwee reservoir to get water.
On the first day, you will travel over the mountain 
range you can see from camp and back down beside Haiwee 
Reservoir. I'm told there should be pelicans? on the 
reservoir. The trip down the mountain should be 
interesting as there is a lot of geology to see plus a 
nice view of the sierras to the west. There will 
probably still be water in the natural stream you will 
cross as you head back to Coso Junction. The afternoon 
loop the 50's do heads north towards Haiwee. There are 
rocks on this loop as the trail follows some of the old 
train tracks.
The second days loop will use loop 1 and 2 of Geo Bun 
Buster which is good footing with some sand and rocks 
and head north again in the afternoon for the 50's. 
Lunch both days is at base camp.

We've worked hard to provide riders with a couple of 
days to ride. Please come.
