raptorgirl Posted October 10, 2007 Posted October 10, 2007 We haven't been to any of these places yet but hope to someday. Heck were taking our first trip to Gorman next weekend. We haven't been much for trail riding til now. Quote
Richard Cheese Posted October 10, 2007 Posted October 10, 2007 im pretty much strickly sand, but I hope you guys have fun and be safe!!! i think well do another meet and greet in a couple weekends!!! Quote
DigzDodge Posted October 10, 2007 Posted October 10, 2007 (edited) Looks like I will see ya in Gorman next weekend!! Dove is so cool. Always something new out there!! Hey Cheeze!! Get some knobies on those bikes and come out a time or two with us all. Your just down the mountain from Gorman!! I promise it will be a blast, or Raptorgirl will reimburse your gas!! :beer_bang: Edited October 10, 2007 by DigzDodge Quote
1BADYFZ Posted October 10, 2007 Posted October 10, 2007 Gorman is around the corner from me, been there so many times i just go know for a quick loop then get home, be carefull on the roads for people coming the other way, that place is notorious for slamming into people head on on the fire roads.. We should do a Dove springs trip soon here, i ride it all ,sand and desert and dove in the winter is real nice, i know some cool spots out there... Let me know..Sam. Quote
DigzDodge Posted October 10, 2007 Posted October 10, 2007 Theres a Dove trip this weekend I hope to make. Won't know till FRI. if for sure going though. I think ifwe do we are going to be back around by the third restroom by comp hill. I am just repeating what I heard. (From the main entrance) Quote
Big Red Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 been going out there for a couple seasons. love it there! might be heading out this weekend with the quads. just need to get my hauler back from the shop. Quote
Raptor661 Posted October 11, 2007 Author Posted October 11, 2007 We camp on jawbone canyon road just north of dove springs. You cant miss it, there is 4 bilboard signs that are the only ones on that road. Look for the fireworks or the VW blocks burning, thats usually us. Last time i was out there I found a road that goes straight to a bar in inyo kern. Im thinking Ill ahve to start a new tradition and ride the quad down there Quote
barneycar Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 been going to dove spring for years live just down the road. Quote
sand chick Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 We try to make a yearly trip there in the spring! Love the store and the hill climbs are awesome. Never saw the same thing twice. Place kicks a$$ Quote
cycoguy Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 been jeeping in dove springs creek, and at jawbone, been riding at gorman, but I really do hate ridding on dirt... I try to stick to the sand, most dirt riding I do is up in Isabella Quote
Raptor661 Posted October 11, 2007 Author Posted October 11, 2007 WHere in isabella do you ride at? Ive always wanted to go riding up there but I wouldnt know where to park. Ive rode up greenhorn area since I was a kid. We used to park at the bottom of rancheria road then ride all the way to tobias. I remember riding back in the snow one time...i had 5 inches of snow on my arms and couldnt hardly move I was so cold Quote
Xjman1 Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 Damn, you fellas got me thinking Dove springs instead of Dumont on the 26th. Can only go for a night so it is more attractive than paying $30 for a week and all the gas. Might wait and plan a longer Dumont trip and then buy an annual pass. Thanks for the new option as I have not been to either. Quote
DigzDodge Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 Mom has a place up there but I can never get a straight answer from anyone bouts where to ride in Isabella without gettin in trouble with ol JohnnyLaw. Where do ya go? Quote
Big Red Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 been going to dove spring for years live just down the road. well hot dang. we need to hook up for a ride!!!!! want to go out this weekend, but the hauler is in the shop. might head out there for a day trip. Quote
cycoguy Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 my buddies grandma lives up there, so we park there, ride off erskin creek (spelling?) trail, or we go up cooks peak, now thats a blast, and there is no other rush going 4/5 gear pinned, sideways around a corner with a thousand foot drop 3 inches away lol.... then we will go hit up the track that is over by the trap shooting range, thats fun, and we also ride right on the lake shore, over by where the river comes in, its sand over there with tiny tiny dunes lol, its pretty fun, wide open spaces for wheelies for ever! some jumps too Quote

Ive never actually camped at dove springs I hear theres alot of rangers there....we usually try to avoid those guys Quote
cycoguy Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 I want to go riding with you! that sounds like a blast. oh man, its crazy, one trip I mis-judged a corner, came in too fast, luckily I pulled through it, but I was on two wheels, inches from the edge lol, it was like straight down... I think it was about a year and a half ago some guys were up there in a jeep and drove off the side...they both passed away... Its crazy up there, but the view over the lake and town is just amazing, the wind is so loud, yet its very quiet... Its real cool up there Maybe we will have to orginize something sometime! Quote
