great pics. Is that merry-go-round thingy at the back of wash 11?
Excuse my ignorance. Are there rules for kids to be in cars/side by sides?
I’m sure there are age limits but just like the age limits on quads not many people follow them. When I posted on here to see what set ups people were running for their kids they seemed to start putting them in forwards facing car seats around 2-3. I have a 4 month old so I’m not in a huge rush right now.
Yeah 19 year old is what I heard as well. I also read the chopper can not transport patients who are not stable and they could not get the kid stable. That is why the chopper left.
We really didn't go by gecko to see so I can't say.
It was actually a nice calm weekend for a holiday, washes were maybe 50% full, if you stick between China and Brawley you get epic riding and very little traffic
Definitely, it felt more like just a regular weekend.
just enough breeze to keep the washes with clean air.
You guys need to do a deJong glamis meet up I’m sure my friend would show up with his!
Any pix of your buddy ride?
I can remember coming out here back in the day with our mid engine VW turbo cars and went you went on rides it was a 1/2 to full day to get to any place because they rode like shit and usually someone would break down. It always seemed like Glamis was huge back then. Now with these bigger cars you can get thru the dunes much quicker than back in the mid engine days.
You still out there? I heard mother nature is wiping the dunes clean with the big W!
Yes - we usually camp at Gordon's instead of Glamis and now with SXS you can pop up anywhere in Glamis in no time. From Gordons to Swing set is 14 miles +/- and takes 25-30 minutes +/- pending group size and who is riding along with me. Can be done quicker if just me
! If you go right along the out of bounds markers as you head up (the blue area in the attachd map), it is a nice ride with lots of clean running, avoiding the sand highway completely - once past the markers it is about 2.5 miles north - then you hang a right and head out east to swing set, maybe a mile. It is not shown on the attached map, but it is just sligtly north and west of China Wall We usually jump from there over to China Wall (or vicea versa), then work our way up to Olds and take dunes back over to Gecko area and head south along the "inland" path avoiding the sand highway in both directions.
Wash rd is hard pack and maintained i think down to like wash 20. You will be fine.
Like was said the road is maintained and hard packed. We usually camp in wash 4 which can get a little soft in the back by the small dunes. Just put it in 4wd when you leave the main wash road, and I suggest arriving in the day time.
