For the April Club run, Chris and I will be running Titus Canyon on Saturday, 4/29/17.
For those who don't know, Titus is located a couple of miles out side of Beatty, Nevada, which is about two hours North of Las Vegas on Hwy 95. Titus Canyon starts in Nevada and ends in Death Valley, Calif. This is not a difficult run, but has beautiful scenery. We will meet at 9:00 and roll out at 9:30, from the dirt lot across from the "Eddie World" gas station on Hwy 95 in Beatty. We will be going up to Beatty on Friday, the 28th and camping over the weekend. There are a few motels and campgrounds in Beatty and we plan to stay at the Death Valley Inn Motel & campground. If you do not wish to stay in Beatty, you can just drive up for the run, then drive home. But it makes for a very long day.
At the time of this posting, Titus is not yet open to the public.
It should be open before the date of the run, but if it not, (bad weather, flooding, etc.), we will be looking at a backup location, possibly Gold Butte. If anyone has questions or needs directions, please let me know.
Change of plans: Chris and I will be camping at the Long Street Hotel & Casino, located in Amargosa Valley. When you arrive in Amargosa Valley on Hwy 95, turn left, (South), on Hwy 373 and proceed for approximately 22 miles. The Long Street will be on your right. When we were on the March club run, I spoke to club member and Long Street owner Jim Marsh who said that they have been very busy and if I could get a possible head count of those wishing to stay there, to let him know as soon as possible. So anyone who thinks they may want to stay or camp at the Long Street, please let me know either here on the site, or by phone. My cell is: 702 335-2488. Nothing else about the run has changed, same time and location. Thanks.John
