If I head down there I'll probably bring along a dual sport bike for the back roads. Cottonwood is a pleasant (NO GENERATOR) campground and there are back country sites as well.
Many roads, rough country http://www.nps.gov/b...it/bc_roads.htm

Big Bend is on my list. Keep me posted on when and where. No generators? It's not camping without a generator(let the rants begin).

Pretty much anytime after the holiday campers are gone and into February. That time of year staying by the river should be the warmer option. I figure I'll spend 4 - 5 days, some exploring via motorcycle, maybe a day hiking in the Chiso's, and just hanging out

You'd better check the rules, barko. I don't think Rallies are allowed anywhere but Cali-O-gon these days.

Too far from the Pliney brewery!

Don't want these boys to run out of booze with that new earthquake prediction looming for Cali! My guess is that the combined shake effect of these cats without substantial al-kee-hol in their systems could awaken the San Andreas!

Let's agree to synchronize calendars as the days approach.

Sounds good although today I visited my local friendly neurosurgeon and he said I need urgent surgery, I guess I'm special as he said my disc on the MRI was among the worst 20 he has seen, out of 3200 He thought I'd be in a wheelchair and he winced when I told him I was out on the dirt bike a couple times this week. The MRI shows about 95% of the canal is squished good. If I do go under the knife the last time they said wait 3 months for high impact activities so I still might be late January. I better reserve some of that booze

Don't mess w/ this: get surgery. Maybe 'outgrow' falling off dirtbikes?

Wow, Barko, that is not the kind of news you want to hear. Best of luck with your decision and hope all goes well for you. Please keep us posted.
