Would love to be able to make this, I miss riding Glamis.

I might have to make this one as well. I like BBQ   

Whats going on the grill Mitch? Say ribs and I'll be there.

I bought a traveling Pellet Smoker, should be able to do a 14lbs shoulder for BBQ pork sandwiches, that should feed a few of you out there.
I would do Aussie Burgers again, but the aftermath would cause too many methane gas deaths

We will be there!

Mitch the AZ group & the FL crew are all out there for New years, we usually get there a day or 2 after X-mas.

I think it'll be the same as usual in the washes, wash 1 or I think maybe 2 this year ask Dale?

Why don't you set it up to have everybody come stay over in the washes and we'll one big camp and we can all ride together?

Joe is flying out for this trip and has been wanting to try Roadrunner camp, PM him on this.

Thats always a great trip.  My family can usually do 3-5 days that week.  Wash 4 gives alot of space and good hard pack for the big rigs to park. I'm flexible far as any of the washes but down past 10 is far from the vendor conviences.

We'll be there.

Gecko is preferred, but Gecko camp sites, especially Roadrunner will be at a premium for sure. Its kind of like Malibu on the beach real estate. Got to get there very early in the week to camp in  those areas. Its real nice there, not much rif raff, and imo, best access to the big dunes out back.  Great sunsets and sunrises  there since you're up higher than down in the washes.Many of the big dollar high HP sand cars hang there.
Lots lots less dust in the air anywhere on Gecko road. The washes that time of year can be choking full of dust that you can't see 20' in front of you around wash road.

I know some of us like the washes best, so wherever is ok with me. Low number washes closer to the beach store are best for sure. Seems the AZ crew goes to wash 2 most of the time. But depending what last summer did to the end of wash 2 will determine if its still the AZ crews spot.

Be ready for some real cold weather around New years at Glamis. Last New Year woke up to a little frost on the machines 1 morning... Although it didn't bother Bret from sleeping under the stars...lol
It was fugging freezing out.

You might be able to rent a quad down there instead of packing your own...

I actually like Roadrunner the best for the dune rides to china BUT it will be crowded with all of the big rigs, they will be parked 4 deep vertically parking lot style...too much crowd for me.

Plus all of the high HP buggies chew up the sand between camp & the dunes on the west side.

I prefer to not stay in the washes with all the dust but Gecko will be jam packed and the washes will allow us to circle camp deterring the rangers from cruising through camp looking for violations.  The good thing about Beards camp at the end of wash 1 is that we hardly ever see a ranger even on a big weekend like t-day or new years.

How big of a 5th wheel toy hauler can you get in the wash areas?

Its all about your driving skills.  There are some huge rigs out there, motorhomes, cars, etc.... .  One of my buddies has a 52ft triple axle race trailer he brings out with his stock Chevy 2500 with highway tires.  He doesn't air down.  Large rigs out there just need to go down Wash road and have somebody that arrived before them guide them in.  Its not usually an issue.  Lots of people out there that can give you a pull if you get stuck.  Last Thanksgiving I pulled out 2 motorhome with trailers when we found some soft stuff.

If your worried you can park closer to the road.  The further back to the dunes you go, the softer the sand gets.

How big of a 5th wheel toy hauler can you get in the wash areas?

As long as you stay on the hard pack it's no problem, usually there is at least 2 or 3 35+ ft triple axle trailers in camp

i run with the devil (el diablo) so ill be their with either my ltr or tri z ready to shoot the hills.
