For those interested in action shots and don't mind a little dirt in the air there are some upcoming opportunities about an hour north of Lancaster.

Jawbone Canyon Off Highway Vehicle Area (OHVA) is a popular dirt bike and dune buggy hangout about 20 miles north of Mojave. Below is a YouTube clip you might find interesting. On October 29 they're having a big halloween bash starting at 10 a.m. with lunch at 11 and prizes for stunts on bikes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ju2mV257zpQ

Just past Red Rock Canyon is trail SC103 which takes you a short way to a cliff about a mile long with trails up both sides. On the web site below you can see they have some rather large gatherings on the weekends. http://forums.rhino411.com/showthread.php?t=3745

Another area is north of Red Mountain but it's not as hilly.

Three-day weekends draw hundreds, maybe thousands of bikes to these areas and Thanksgiving week is supposed to be especially great.
