just wondering if there are people from the site here who would be interested in joining our group from PA to head to Glamis this winter. we are trucking out and will be riding for about a week. we are looking at being there either the 2nd or 3rd week of january at this point. we go when there isn't much happening there so we have the dunes to ourselves for the most part. i know people are going to ask so i'll just say the trucking end would be approximately $500- give or take depending on pickup location. if we could get a good size group together from michigan to go, the truck could possibly come to your location or atleast somewhat close for loading and dropoff. those details can get worked out as interest grows.

we have gone 3 years running now and have had a great time! the dunes are very big- lots of space to ride!

put your thoughts on here so we can see if this could work out. thanks, Tom

Sounds like a good time! Unfortunately, not enough lead time for me to get everything in order, save up some bank, etc. Our group that went to Little Sahara, Utah and St. Anthony, Idaho last summer are also in the early planning stages of hitting Glamis next year, although it will be later in the year, roughly early November 2010.

Just as an FYI, good luck trying to garner interest for a big trip like this on a forum. Although you might get quite a bit of feedback from people truely interested in embarking on an adventure like this, things just have a way of "coming up" and people drop out as you get closer to the departure date. Not trying to bash anyone or anything, as I realize things happen. All I'm saying Dozer, is basically don't count anyone in or go out of your way (financially) trying to accomodate anyone unless you get a deposit of some sort to cover yourself. I'm sure you probably realize this after having already done these trips 3 times, but just thought I'd throw that out there.

What do you guys do anyways? Have your quads trucked out there and you fly out? Or do you just follow the shipping truck out in a car? Just curious, as we're trying to decide whether to ship ours out there, or just use my truck and enclosed trailer and take them ourselves like we did last summer. Send me a pm with your phone # and best time to call if possible. I'd be interested in knowing how you've done this in the past. Thanks

Some of the other things we research are other riding areas and/or attractions along our route. From what it looks like by leaving from central Indiana, the mapquest route to Glamis shows travelling within about 50 miles or so of the Little Sahara, Oklahoma dunes. So we will probably plan on stopping by there for 1 day at least. Also, we're planning on following the old Route 66 for at least part of the trip, which should be pretty cool for some of us "old school" hot rodders!

Anyways, sorry for rambling and not exactly adding much to your thread topic, lol. Have fun, and let us know some of the details when you get back which might help me out later in the year!!

head'n out to glamis next fri,the 23rd, me and my group will be at wash 15 , ripp'n up the fresh dunes'''' thats one plus to living 2.5hours away''' fresh sunbaked dunes with no tracks''' yahooooooooooooooooo

two of our friends who ride with us are truck drivers. they have their own peterbuilts. so the whole trip started for us because they were trucking across country and we realized we could make a trip like this work.

yeah we truck the quads out and fly out and rent a car. we camp in the dunes and we use the box trailer as our shelter. not a very CA way of doing things, but it works fine for us.

i agree its one thing to have people say they're interested and another to actually commit and go. i thought if we tap in to the right group of people that it could work and be a lot of fun. we need about 12 more committments as it stands but have room for more.

wish i was riding there this weekend- sounds awesome

hell yea.... are we all going to enter into the FSW race. and see if we can ride up hills, not just flat sand. lol

i went to glamis last weekend and it was the best i love fresh dunes will be back out there on hollowen hit me up if you wantto ride

If you get out the weekend of the 16th, the FSA host there drag race event there at Olds hill. Some of the fastest bikes on the west coast and maybe the country show up for these events. You'll still have the dunes to yourself but the races are pretty cool to watch and particapte in.

Thanks for the tip on the weekend of the 16th. i would love to see that.
