Late to the party too but just bought a Himalayan from Pro Italia in Glendale and I live in the AV so please let me know about any rides planned. A buddy and I are planning a spring ride up the 14 to camp at Alabama Hills by Lone Pine, then Big Pine to off-road to Saline Warm Springs and camp, then to Darwin Falls for a hike but spend the night at the Panamint Springs Lodge, hit Bartlett mines then camp at Trona Pinnacles, head back via “The Joint” in Randsberg and then head home via dirt Mojave-Randsberg dirt road to Cal City then disperse to home.
