2019 Marine Corps Birthday and Veterans day M&G

[OMoaC]

Well for 2 years now we have been throwing these. We've done Prescott AZ and Lone Pine CA and had a great time. This year I would like to propose Boreggo Springs CA. If there is interest I will get jiggy with it. What say you SWCOG?

 

[Motomaniac]

I am interested along with others in the SW!

 

[jwh360]

I'm in!!

 

[OMoaC]

I shall pursue.  :beerchug:

 

[The Doctor]

Definitely interested

 

[Charby]

Yuppers!

 

[CaffeineMan]

Went through there just a couple weeks ago.  It was fun.  Where do the non-RV people stay?

 

[OMoaC]

Gonna try to set up some civilized lodging. Porcelain and such. Will post up.

 

[OMoaC]

So me thinks I've found a place to negotiate with weekend of Nov 9 to 11. Fri, Sat, Sun night head home Monday 11th. Borrego Springs CA. 95 to 110 a night double occupancy but I'll see if I can get some dollars knocked off. Maybe get Archer to drag out his smoker and cook some bu%%'s for dins. Easy 3 days of vigorous riding to be done here. Palomar, Julian, Palm Springs, Mountain Center. All joined by Banner Grade back into Borrego. You could spend all day doing Montezuma/Banner grade just going up and down. Sculpture's across the desert landscape for you artist lovers (come see the dragon worm that goes under the road). Wear a piece of your old uniform for extra credit. What say you SW?

 

[Motomaniac]

I'm in! and ready to support too!

:motonoises:  :motonoises:  :great:

What, you can't wear your entire old uniform?  ;-)

Any updates on this?

Is having served a requirement? I just picked up a 91 Concours 2 days ago I live close enough to ride out on Sunday. Maybe this will help... I can't go Sat because I do volunteer work on the SS Lane Victory in San Pedro. Let me know please, thx. ( And thanks to all who served.)

OK folks here it is. 3rd annual Marine Corps Birthday and Veterans day Meet and Greet. Rides and routes are under construction. Here is lodging https://stanlunds.com/  Attached are the rates a room availability. Get them quick as they only have 22 rooms. Most will sleep 2 to 3. Info on the town of Borrego Springs here https://www.visitcalifornia.com/attraction/borrego-springs  This little town is surrounded by butler silver and gold roads, Pie in Historic Julian and the awesome sculptures in the middle of the desert. Not to mention Montezuma Grade! A member has very generously offered to drag his smoker out and prepare some smoked pork butt for us. I shall bring some of my world famous slaw. If you have a side you would like to throw in let me know. We will work on getting this on the calendar soon. Come join us for what it is really about. Not the forum, Not Face Book, The people and events that you will claim as life long Friends  :beerchug: :motonoises:

 

[mxhead69]

Me and Tillman will be there. He’s booking the room as I type this.

 

[troymba]

It’s on! This is going to be the best one yet.

 

[The Doctor]

I'm down for at least a bit of this. Girlfriend is in Costa Mesa, so I might peel off to go spend some time with her (LDR...). Do we know what days we're doing what?

 

[OMoaC]

Ride eat drink sleep repeat. I'll be riding out prolly on Friday if you wanna hook up. BS'ing on Fri night, ride all day Sat with dinner at Chez Archer and home on Sun for me.I know others are planning to come in earlier/Stay later.

This is my proposed route to Mecca:

https://goo.gl/maps/y2vMKTX3jCFncbMw5

Gas up in Baker and Twentynine Palms.  Not sure about the Mecca to Stanlunds part.

What say you?

 

[OMoaC]

This is what I'm looking at.

https://goo.gl/maps/rckncSE2CPY2Kxn48

 

[CaffeineMan]

We should meet for lunch in Twentynine Palms.

 

[troymba]

This is what I'm looking at.

https://goo.gl/maps/rckncSE2CPY2Kxn48

From Mecca go south about 25 miles to Marina/Salton Sea Way and go another 25 roughly all the way to the traffic circle in Borrego and take the outlet that’s at 9 o’clock when first looking at the circle- about 1 mile out Stanlunds is on the left.

[56taskforce]

You guys have a great time and Semper Fi. I sure would love to join you but crossing the Siskiyou's on a bike in November would be a ba, ba, bad idea fo sure...

 

[CaffeineMan]

We should meet for lunch in Twentynine Palms.

In

Know of any good places?  Working off Yelp there’s a burger place called Andreas and a place called the Mojave Moon.

Yucca Valley a bit down the road probably have more options. Where did you end up with your panier?

 

[CaffeineMan]

Will explain in person in Jamestown

[troymba]

Does anyone have a time/date set for when the Pork Butt Sammiches will need to be ready for? I’m also bringing two big coolers with ice and beverages .... Coke, Coors Light, Samuel Adams and maybe a couple others if no suggestions cause me to do otherwise so speak up!

Call it between 5 and 6p? Depends on how long it takes me to hobble there. Calculations are still being done for the stagger back. Google maps does not have a stagger app. 

 

[troymba]

I’ll have my truck there. I gather there will be a person there who doesn’t partake and we could likely shuttle. Some may have to continue to partake as the shuttle makes runs

 

[troymba]

I gather the IceMan is coming so he can drive!!!!

 

[OMoaC]

This alarms me.

 

[troymba]

As does it me. Dibs on the first available helmet.

I was feeling pretty good about him just answering half the question. The attention span shortens as time goes on.

[Motomaniac]

I will help any way Troy! Looking forward to anything you BBQ!!

 

[troymba]

You know the rules Rusty- gotta call dibs but yeah,  your skills have it to where I’d be glad to have your assistance. I’m thinkin it’s going to be pretty pretty good! People are bringing some great sides and the riding is going to be what we already know it is. Those who haven’t been are going to be loving it!

I suspect for the gathering of group it will be Sat night. Let Friday and Sunday fly willy nilly. You can call those out.  Group pic in front of the smoker on Sat? Looks like the Counterweight may also be attending to break up the sausage fest. Seems the group of fine young women that gathered in Springerville are in a conspiracy amongst themselves.  :beerchug:

 

[OMoaC]

Well, the counterweight has committed. You scalawags shall be respectful. She has also committed to staying Fri night through Sunday night departing Monday. Hope to C many other SO's shall be arriving. Working on routes now. This is gonna be a hoot! Devils hwy M&G, Sierra Sampler M&G, Borrego Springs M&G  The SW is Rockin".

 

[OMoaC]

Git registered! How we supposed to get a dinner count! C'mon folks!

 

[ping jockey]

We're in, 2up, don't know where we're staying yet

 

[jay kurtz]

I’ve already booked my room,  ( Saturday and Sunday ) and my wife is staying home.
Let the shenanigans begin.
The navy is in the house

 

[mxhead69]

I’m going I’m going! There, I registered! I think....
