Cool panorama pics!
-
Good you meet you and Alkyzilla. I enjoyed checking out the mods on you Zillas... Gives me some ideas. :)
-
I was sick!
-
Well we're back, nice to meet you nopick.
What happened to Mitch & Joe???
-
China Wall
-
now thats a nice picture..
-
Oldsmobile Hill
-
It was a nice day today. Ran out to China Wall and played around.
-
Getting my engine put back together. The last Glamis trip had the piston skirt falling off :-\
Man I hope this happens soon!!
-
No Pick, so you are out Saturday, you should get there Tuesday???
If so we have a friend Bill Arnold from Corona CA, he'll be out there Tuesday on the very right side entrance to wash 3. Bill should be driving a black or dark colored older Ford I believe dual cab with a enclosed 5th wheel trailer (not a traditional toy hauler). Bill's trailer is a smooth side and does not have any graphics on it. He rides a camoflouge banshee and a service Honda 250/500 dirt bike with black plastics. If you see him tell him you're there to camp with Beard.
From what I've heard people are getting busy and as usual $hit has happened so most of the group will be there Thursday or Friday.
I think I missed this one some how. We are here. Down at wash 14. We sure want to take a few cruises with everyone...
I just got a message from Dale. I'll send him my number.

That is a photo sphere from the Android 4.2 camera app. I haven't seen it on a large screen yet. I thought it looked good on the phone so I posted it.
Glamis is awesome. I wish I lived closer!
-
Is that the pan option on the I5? I need to try that. Looks awesome.
-
beautiful picture...
-
Had a good first ride in Glamis today.

Hey pcs.... what Tri-Z is that? I only got the baby when I was 15.... the 175cc model. Front suspension, but ridged rear :(
its the 250 2 smoker. yamaha first attempt to run with honda. has front/rear suspension. i was 4-5 when i would steal my dads tri z back when you could still buy them.
i run with the devil (el diablo) so ill be their with either my ltr or tri z ready to shoot the hills.
I like to see that LTR and TriZ run!
both should be ready to go. the Z was having issues where it would bog on the whoops but only going up the hill. i just swapped in a TM 34 from an lt250r in place of the stock vm 32 so hopefully i wont have problems with that. other than that it should run just as good as it did back in 85!
-
Have fun fellas, missing this trip.
-
And we are here. Wash 14ish.
That was a long drive.
-
NOTICE**
To those who want to actually come and ride we will be camping on the right side entrance to wash 3 with the AZ group.
I think I will be out there Friday Morning around 8am
This group likes to ride so bring your gear and be prepared to get some good seat time.
If you want/need to call me PM me for the cell number.

I am still going Q2W
Went to the Doctors this morning and unfortunately with the health issues I am having at this time the doc warned me that I need another month to heal, I been loosing weight like crazy but my healing seems to be taking forever, my goal is to come out for a few days , may have to run the electric start quads due to the pain in my legs for a few rides, Jr would be running the LT500
-
I'm waiting on Mitch to come in and say he can't make it. Hi^

Everyone is busy throwing new parts at their machines!
-
So what's the deal, you got 25 days until the scheduled trip and nothing but crickets here.

Thanks for the info, guys. I'm sure I will have more questions as we get closer to go time.

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
-
You guys are killing me, I need to make it out there
-
How big of a 5th wheel toy hauler can you get in the wash areas?
:D 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.

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.
-
Yes, the washes up to about 10 can get pretty bad. That is why we go out to 15-18 to get away from the dust. Plus more small dunes for the kiddies to ride on near camp. Easy shot over to the "Toilet bowl" on the way out to China Wall.
Wow, big group going out from all over. I'll have to swing by for sure to see all!
-
You might be able to rent a quad down there instead of packing your own...
-
Damn I'd love to fly out and ride with you guys.... I wonder If I can disassemble the 250 and fit it in a couple suitcases :-\ :-\
-
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.
-
Reason Joe and I were thinking Roadrunner was to ride a different sections of dunes, riding the dunes south bound of the canal and riding through the dunes to Olds I thought would be fun. the group coming out really do not have alot of dune riding experience, the dunes around Gecko and Roadrunner are pretty rolling for beginners.
Plus I am willing to feed ya too!
-
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.
-
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.
AZ Group, FL Crew....all sounds good to me. The more the merrier!!!! Would be great to hang with more LT guys...Roadrunner, washes...doesn't matter to me. Glamis is all that matters to me! :D

We will be there!

My dad and I are planning a trip out there. Planning to leave here 12/26. It will take a couple days to get there. Maybe we can meet up with a few of you and get the grand tour. :)
We are planning to stay a couple weeks to see the New Years crowd and then, hopefully, some not so busy days...
-
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

I might have to make this one as well. I like BBQ 8)
-
We go out every New Years, but to the washes instead as they are better for the family. I'll be out there for sure and have to make it a point to swing by the group.
My family might even be out there from 12/26 - 1/2. Trying to get there before the crowds and avoid the line home!
-
Would love to be able to make this, I miss riding Glamis.
