Thank you very much! We had to make the call to change back to Alabama Hills for planning purposes. So Alabama Hills it is.

My schedule is really inconsistent, I’m off today, but working tomorrow. We can meet early Saturday in Baker or somewhere near there, if that works.

I'm working Friday till noon (ish). I should be heading out after I get off. Save me a spot.
Most of that area has little to no cell service. Do you have an area picked out yet?

Baker is fine. I haven't actually stopped there in years. If you have a meeting place that would be great. 8:30-9:00 good for you?

That works well for me. There is a spot maybe a mile south of Baker on Kelbaker Road where we could meet. It’s on the way to the Mojave Road, and away from the crowds. You’ll see my truck, it’s pretty noticeable. Or if you want to meet in town, I pretty much always top off my tank at the ARCO am/pm when I’m out there. See you Saturday morning!

I'll top off there and drive down Kelbaker. If I don't see you, ill head back towards baker some and sit.

When I camp there its off movie road. Up Whitney Portal a couple of miles and dirt road on right. There's a few hidden canyons that make great camp spots and sometimes you have to go a ways back to get a good spot. All the camping in that whole area fills up quick but, I've always found something. Because of the topography, the whole area has poor radio communication for any real distance and very spotty cell. You want to post a ham and CB frequency and have people monitoring for the ones not caravaning as well as drive back a ways once you make camp to post the area coord's on here.
That whole area is really nice this time of year too.

At the far end, there's a place called the narrows. You have to walk in the stream quite a ways to get to it. The two times I went there, I didn't have a change of shoes to do it. They may or may not allow you to drive in. If they allow you, park at the bottom in the main parking and use the shuttles. The first time I went we drove all over and all the parking was taken. Second time we just grabbed a spot at the bottom and used shuttles. I have only done day trips there so I don't know the camping. There is a big lodge in there though. May be worth seeing if you can stay there.
That was one of my bucket list places. You will like it.
