hey whats up guys. I was just wonderin why buttercup doesnt have a website or does it? I think they should, cuz we really can post pics on here of us in butter cup and i mean look at the little spot we have on this website. i think we should have r own site. Let me know what u guys think.

later

Yeah, all the deserts should have websites, im going to buttercup this weekend, and ive never been to buttercup, and no nothing about it except its sand, and you have to cross the freeway to get to gordons

i think it would be cool as hell to have a main page of any desert website where you can click on the name of the desert and it will take you to that website... so like if there was "glamis" on it and you clicked it then this website would come up. it would be nice to be able to check out as much info about the other deserts out there as it is to checkout glamis info too.

I don't think Buttercup is big enough for its own website?




















I think the real answer is that no one has made one yet. You could have the first.

this is close enough

They are not different deserts...........They are different areas of the same desert.

We hit Buttercup all the time at YumaDuners.com Since it's the closest exit to Yuma. We're having a Yuma Duner Dinner tonight but it's at Gordons this month - usually the last friday of each month we have a BBQ at Buttercup and all are welcome to attend.

Anybody going to be at Buttercup from the 30th to the 3rd?

Im going saturday to tuesday

Trust me shocker. Go to Gordons instead. Drags, 2 cool hills, Pair-a-Dice, way better camping area, way bigger riding area. Don't waste your time at Buttercup. If you're going to trash your tires just to get to Gordons, why not just camp there?

Camping better at Gordons? Yeah if you love a crowded dust pit. The dunes are basically the same unless you go pretty far North at Gordons. Comp hill at Buttercup isn't tiny like the one at Glamis. Then again, Gordons has 2 nice hills. Who wants to sit at a hill all day? You can always go to the drags from Buttercup. It'll only mess up your tires if you haul butt across the asphalt. You're really not on it for very long and if you just putt you'll have no problems. Pair-a-dice is about 5 minutes from where we camp at Buttercup so thats really not a factor.

I'd much rather camp at Buttercup. Bansh88 hasn't experienced the real dunes over there. He went with some rookies that didn't know the dunes. There's actually some really nice ones if you know where to go. More technical than Glamis. Riding at Glamis is much easier on my bike than Buttercup but I like the challenge. Alot of the people that rag on buttercup haven't been led around the dunes by a good leader.

If I only had a buggy I'd definitely go to Glamis instead. Personally I like all 3. Just prefer to camp at Buttercup on the big weekends.

Just my 2 pesos.

You still moving to Yuma in a few years Rubberneck?

If so you may think you like camping at Buttercup now...but you won't believe how much you like camping there when it's only a 20 minute drive from your front door

jhitesma, not moving to Yuma. Moving about an hour south of Tucson. It'll be a longer drive for me. About 5 hours I think...

Going to Texas in just over a month. Then sometime in the summer I'll be in Arizona. It's high desert so the heat isn't too bad. I was there in 97 and loved it.

20 minutes? You bastard guy!

Bummer, I thought you had said after Texas they were sending you to Yuma.

In the summer when there's less traffic it's only 15 minutes

Here is my 2 cents worth, on big weekend, Thanksgiving, halloween, I like to camp at Buttercup on the West end, its actually closer to the Gordons exit, just on the other side of the freeway, off weekends, I like going to gordons, its nice to find a camp close to the dunes, away from people the only place at buttercup like that is the cole-de-sac. and I like to be next to bushes so my dogs can water them. So camping wise, Big weekends=Buttercup, off weekends=Gordons,
As far as riding goes, I think buttercup has a larger area, I like to go to the very last set of dunes all around buttercup and make one big circle, I find there are more jumps, and more scenery around, (burnt cars, weird stuff from illegals, etc.), and at gordons, we only go as far north as Patton Valley, and as far east as the last set, just seems like it is a little smaller of an area, however, the dunes and transitions are ALOT easier at Gordons, then Buttercup, Buttercup has more razors, and more virgin sand, I am exclusive to gordons and buttercup, so if I am missing something please let me know. Thanks, Ian

Well im back from buttercup, just awesome, double awesome with my new z400, I tore up the place, there was only a couple people there, I went up comp, jumped behind the little closure area, I love buttercup, the bowls are awesome and so are the razorbacks, worth the drive

Exactly SHOCKER. There's a couple bowls at Buttercup that are nothing like Glamis bowls. Transitions are smooth and so is the bowl. Plus there's a couple HUGE ones there! People can rag on it all they want. I still have fun there whether they do or don't.

Ive only been to glamis once, and i stayed in the flats, just a day trip, andit wasnt as fun as buttercup, every dune was fun and evry bowl and hill were perfect, definently worth the drive and gas

Worth the drive? Is Buttercup out of the Way?
Alright Rubbernutz! You name a day. I'll try and make it out there. But I swear to god, if the third time sucks, I will devote my life to ragging on B-Cup!

Its about 2 1/2 hours to get there, and thats a long drive, but to superstition its 1 1/2 hour drive
