Mood: Pole Line Road postponed due to injury

[*] posted on 11-10-2018 at 08:24 AM


Here are a few photos from the 2018 Joshua Tree Berdoo Canyon crawl that I host annually.

The second photo is of me speaking with Brock before our run (with my wife Leidys standing to my left).

The following photos show some alternate sections along Berdoo Canyon Road which provides opportunities to shift into 4lo and push your truck or SUV to it's limits.

Yes, Brock! Nice guy... Good to have a reliable vehicle along, too!

So, where is this route?

Fact: each of the vehicles began and completed the run without any mechanical issues. Several Toyota 4WD SUVs participated.

Berdoo Canyon Road begins near Desert Hot Springs at Dillon Road and continues into Joshua Tree National Park. It meets Geology Tour Road whwre it offers views of the Salton Sea.

That is where La Cuesta de Molina is? I asked at 3:45pm yesterday and wondered if it was Mano, even added a map. Ed and I have enquiring minds.

he must have gone south since he mentioned that they rounded Lomas Paredones (close to the el Mano entry).

looks fun. I need to find it on a map.



I wouldn't rode a Moto up this hill, Ed. One wrong move, and you'll wish there were guardrails on your right side. The stairstep section is so steep all you will see is the sky as you drive up it.

The jeep is ready.


That is a very tidy, organized garage!

I haven’t parked my car in garage for 12 years, got too many projects and stuff consuming the garage space.
