...as well as many other threads both here in the Arizona board as well as in the Rides, Trips and Events forum here - as well as on other (unnamed) GL forums.
For the previous ride participants in AZ, I'm presuming our departure timing will be the same as it has been:
~0900 KSU from the Mobil at Vulture Mine Rd & US-93
Shortly after 0800 at the US-60/Loop 303 interchange
I'll be departing the vicinity of I-10 exit 252/exit 250 at 0600. At this point, I believe I'm the only one from Pima Co leaving on Friday
If anyone's planning on coming through the Bullhead City - Laughlin area on the way... I'm planning on departing sometime Friday morning between 10-11 AM.
Also planning on bypassing Las Vegas, and taking a more 'scenic' & less traveled route. If anyone would like to meet up and ride with, let me know.

Well, since we're only about a week away, and I've had a couple of responses on this... I'm planning on having brunch at the IHOP just across the Laughlin/Bullhead bridge on the AZ side before starting out. I figure if anyone wants to join up with me for the ride to Beatty, that's as good a place as any to meet.
If you wanna eat, arrive early & join me. Otherwise, be gassed up & ready to ride no later than 11 AM.
Hi, I have been checking out this forum for quite some time and just joined . My wife and I are interested in the death valley trip. I'm not sure of the dates. It sounds like a nice ride and a chance to meet some other wing riders in AZ. Is it the weekend of 2/13? We would be interested in riding up with others from the forum. Thanks
Most of the crew will show up in Beatty on Friday 2/12, stay through Sunday night and depart on Monday. The recent floods in DV have left a couple of the roads we usually ride somewhat suspect as to their condition, but there are always alternatives. Several AZ riders usually meet at the junction of Vulture Mine Road and US 93 outside of Wickenburg for a 9 am departure.

"Shortly after 0800 at the US-60/Loop 303 interchange..."
I'll be passing that area around that time, and continuing onward to the Mobil at Vulture Mine Rd & US-93. The last time I was in that vicinity? There was still construction in the area a year ago; I have no idea what it's like.
I will have the Chicken Band radio operational and on Ch. 1 about the time I get on Loop 303 from I-10.

Construction in the area of the 303 and 60 is still going on. Be advised the traffic light for the ramp from the 303 to the 60 has been moved north a few hundred feet and is now on the left as you are headed north. The ramp at the 60 side has three lanes controlled by another light, two lanes left take you toward Wickenburg the right is a yield toward Phoenix.
Rt. 93 in the area of Vulture Mine Rd. now has a series of roundabouts just before the 89a split. Have a safe trip!
There's still construction going on, but this time you will be making a left turn off of the 303 instead of a right turn if it is still like it was a couple of weeks ago.
Several roundabouts near Wickenburg, but the Vulture Mine Rd / 93 junction is a regular intersection with light, and LH turn lane to access the Mobil station at Vulture Mine Rd.
Well, I had hoped to post up some of mine. Unfortunately, I don't know what happened, or what I did different on the settings... but all of my video is corrupted about every 3 seconds, making it completely unwatchable.
I sure hope some of the others had better luck with their video than mine.
