General Palm Springs area.

Hi Zip, I would love to attend, although I wouldn't have time to do overnight camping, and I wouldn't have the legs to keep up with any of you on a trail! But maybe I can roast a s'more or something. How far/long is Barton Flats from Palm Springs, roughly?
Q: How many therapists does it take to screw in a light bulb? A: Only one, but the light bulb has to want to change ...

About 65 miles. Takes an hour and a half more or less to get there.

Hey Zip!! Nice to hear from you. What are you up to nowadays?

As of right now, I have nothing going on around that date and I am definitely down to go!

You'd more than keep up with me and my crew.

Always got space for you!

If you mean mountain biking, there's a fun mountain biking trail out of Hanna Flats Campground in Fawnskin Called Area 51 (if you prefer that to hiking). If you mean a motorized version, you can squeeze it in next to one of the cars, so either way, plan on it!

I'd like to join the group on the 25th for the day. I'll bring some red wine for around the campfire.

Thanks! A little of both, I've got a road bike (Cannondale R1000).
