  Off Grid Camping Event
  

  This trip is an off-grid camping event, with no facilities what-so-ever. There are numerous campgrounds on CA 38; the closest being Oso/Lobo group camps about 2.5 miles away with water and toilets. This campground is ad-hoc with no specific sites, parking pads, etc. We will arrive in the morning and select a site which should accommodate several campers. The club banner will be visible to help find where the group will be camping. Cell service is spotty in the area. The 1N84 road is rustic and rough, but almost any vehicle can access any part of the campground at a slow pace. Both tent campers and RVs access this campground regularly. It is fairly quiet on weekdays.

  There are lots of trails in the general area, and a trail to the Santa Ana River from the campground. There are also 4x4 trails available, if there is a demand.

  The campground is about 1 1/2 hours from Palm Springs, and it's about 1/2 hour drive to Big Bear City. There is a small restaurant and over-priced gas in Angelus Oaks, about 25 minutes to the west.

  Location: East Flats campground is on 1N84 dirt road, off of East Jenks Lake Rd., south of CA 38 (map link click here).  East Jenks Lake Rd is halfway between Barton Flats campground and Heartbar campground. The elevation is just under 7000' so the weather is much cooler than Palm Springs. It will be spring there, so screen tents might be useful. There could be deer, foxes, coyotes, bobcats, and bears - though none is very likely.

  Schedule: TBD

  Weather:  The weather will be similar to Big Bear area, forecast click here.  June averages are 45-65f.

  Note: No fires, unless fire rings have been installed recently.

  Trip leader: Joey Duhon email click here

  What to bring:  All the food and water you might need. Clothing for both warm and cold weather. Bathroom facilities. Camp chair. Ten essentials click here

  Health Problems/allergies:   Discuss any medical concerns with the hike leader that may affect your ability to complete the hike. 

  Local Emergency Contact Information:  Dial 9-1-1 To report all other activities Call the Local Ranger Station at:  (909) 855-8550 during business hours or (909) 382-2600.  After hours call (909) 383-5654.

  Conference is held once every year in October (as required in the by-laws) where delegates from each of the five chapters and the Corp board come together to:

  • Nominate and elect a new Corp board for the upcoming year.
  • Vote and amend any by-law changes that may occur.
  • Schedule and coordinate the next year's camping trips.
  • Special awards and recognition will be presented.

  Who puts on the Conference?

  • Hosting conference is by one of the five chapters on a rotational basis.
  • This year is hosted by the Los Angeles Chapter
  • Next year will be hosted by another Chapter and so on.

  Do I need to attend any of these business meetings?

  • Only if you are a chapter delegate, a Corp committee chair or Corp board member; however, all are welcome to attend.

  Can I come to any of these meetings if I am not on the Corp board or a delegate?

  • Yes! We encourage anyone who is interested in how our organizational leadership works to come and observe our meetings!

  What if I am not part of the Corp board or a delegate, can I still attend the conference?

  • Yes! There will be other planned activities and events you can take part in.
  • This is a great opportunity to hang out and get acquainted with other GO members that you would not normally meet outside your chapter designated area!

  Can I attend the day activities without camping?

  • Yes, register for day use only.

  Volunteer?

  • Each Chapter elects or appoints a Board Representative to represent your Chapter at all GO Corp. meetings (usually four per year). 
  • The GO Board also consists of the following appointed committees or positions:  Archives, Awards, Bylaws, Outings, Outdoors Experience and Webmaster

  BICYCLE CAMPING NOTES

  _____________________________________

  WILLIAM HEISE REGIONAL PARK, SAN DIEGO COUNTY

  Ample bicycling opportunities exist in this regional park located a half-dozen miles from the unincorporated Julian community (famous for its pies). It includes more than 12 miles of multi-use non-motorized trails. Situated 4,200 feet above sea level in a forest of pines and oaks along the northern extremity of the Cuyamaca Mountain Range.  The day-use and camping park spans over 1,000 acres. Camping trip bicycle use is recommended.

  _____________________________________

  BORREGO SPRINGS CAMPING

  An active bicycling community exists in the Borrego Springs community. Smack in the middle of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, and unpretentious, the town of Borrego Springs, population 3,429. is the only California town that is completely surrounded by a state park. It’s also an official International Dark Sky Community—the first and only one in California—dedicated to protecting the night sky from light pollution

  The downtown area has a passel of ice cream shops, restaurants, and lodgings, but the local art scene evokes the most community pride. First, there are the supersize prehistoric and fantastical beasts that both line area roads and are  sometimes seemingly dropped randomly in the middle of nowhere, far from any road or foot traffic. The meticulously crafted metal creatures, rust-colored and featuring such details as curling eyelashes and “fur” of shaved iron, are the work of metal sculptor Ricardo Breceda. Visitors to Borrego Springs who would like to camp have it especially good—you are allowed to camp for free anywhere in the surrounding Anza-Borrego State Park.

  The lightly traveled roads, including the 9 mile route from town to park, are all Bicycle friendly. Expect to encounter bicycling families and riding groups on the excellently maintained paths.  Camping trip bicycle use is recommended.

  _____________________________________

  HURKEY CREEK HIGHWAY 74 CAMPING 

  Last year Hurkey Creek proved excellent for bicycling. In addition to extensive paved roads within the park, there’s also a specially designated paved hiking/walking path.

  Adjacent to the park’s Highway 74 entrance is the paved Apple Canyon Road which is an excellent lightly-traveled eBike gradual climb leading to the  Zen Center. Camping trip bicycle use is recommended.

  This Riverside County Idyllwild regional camping park has a single entrance/exit road devoid of vehicle traffic.

Restaurants, shopping options and tourist attractions exist.  The area’s hilly terrain limits other bicycle opportunities. State Highway 256 runs through the town and bicycle road-warrior use of the two-lane road is not uncommon.
