I need a bed, or my back will not forgive me in the morning. What about at camp? Are we tenting it? I only have a BIG tent.

Not a problem on the bed. The room will be 25-35 a person depending on how many people we have going. We can do two rooms if needed.
As for camping yes on the tenting/sleep outside/ share a sleeping bag... Whatever. I am going to bring a tarp, attach it to the side of my truck and sleep under that.

The only hotel night is Friday, yes? Sat/Sun are tents/cot and we are home Monday night.

Yes

.....In.

WooooHooooo!

Two rooms 3 per room?

I should also state that Chelcee and Kaite will be riding with me.. They don't like missing out on adventures.


As for sleeping on the trail.. we will just be laying down a tarp and our pads on top of that.

I will be bringing 10-15 gal of fuel, and 5 gal of non-drinking water.

I'm assuming fires are okay? in which case I would assume we need to haul wood for these fires?


Found this on the official website..

1. Plan Ahead and Prepare

There is no permit or registration system for backcountry travel & camping at Mojave National Preserve; be sure to notify others of your travel itinerary.
Few established trails exist; carry a good map and familiarize yourself with desert travel and survival skills before beginning your trip.
2. Travel and Camp on Durable Surfaces

Reuse existing campsites (required for roadside camping).
Do not make camp in a dry wash—flash floods develop quickly in the desert.
Camping is limited to a maximum of 14 consecutive days per visit/stay and 30 total days per year.
Campsites must be more than 200 yards from any water source.
Camping is not permitted: within 1/4 mile of any paved road or the Zzyzx Road; within 1/2 mile of Fort Piute or Kelso Depot; within 1 mile north (i.e., the crest of the dunes) or 1/4 mile south of the Kelso Dunes access road.
3. Dispose of Waste Properly

Store all food and garbage in a manner that will prevent access by wildlife. Carry plastic bags and pack out all trash.
Bury human waste in catholes 6-8 inches deep, at least 200 feet from water, camp, and trails. Don't bury toilet paper or hygiene products - carry a plastic bag and pack it out.
Pet excrement must be collected and disposed of in garbage receptacles.
4. Leave What You Find

Disturbing, defacing, or collecting plants, animals, rocks, and historic or archeological objects is prohibited. As part of our national heritage, these resources should be left as they are found for all to enjoy. Metal detectors are not allowed.
5. Minimize Campfire Impacts

Campfires are allowed in established fire rings only, or with use of a portable firepan (be sure to pack out ashes). Do not leave fires smoldering or unattended.
Cutting or collecting any wood, including downed wood, is prohibited. All firewood must be brought into the preserve.
6. Respect Wildlife

7. Be Considerate of Other Visitors

Any idea if we will be by a fire ring every night? Or that we care? or I can bring a dryer tub... it counts I think lol

Avis I am going to let you book your own room since you have the girls. If you want to stay here cool. If not we can meet up at some place.

Its pulling up funny but if you hit search at the top it should show the $52 per night.

I have one room booked. 2 queen beds. They can also do a roll away bed. I'm good being on the floor.

As far as rooms go, girls can sleep in one bed and someone else can crash in my bed vs the floor. Doesn't matter to me, just throwing it out there.



Room is booked
