Does anybody remember when;
Long Travel was not even thought of?
Packs of 3 wheelers roamed the dunes?
Flat trailers & tents were the norm?
Grooved slicks were the shiz?
There were no crowds?

Very cool!!!!!!

Heres a funny one for ya back in the 70s we went to pismo and mexico to go duning or off roading. of course i asked my dad why do we not go to glamis ?? he replied " that dam place is to crowded: that was about 1977 when i asked them that .

Remember Devil's Slide?
I will look for those pictures for another post.

That bring back memory's I'm 34 but when I was 5 to 6 years old we would drive down there in my Grandpas wheelies truck and watch people try and make it up.

cool old school duning.

Great pictures, thanks for sharing.

Yeah, and we could find plenty of room to park a Semi truck and trailer loaded with Jeeps on Gecko loop, on Wed. of Thanksgiving weekend too!

I still think of those times too. Just this last weekend we were talking about the old days around the camp fire. I commented on how I thought Quads looked funny when they first came out. I'll have to dig out my album and see if I can scan some pictures in.

WOW! Brings back so many memories.

A couple of times we rode to Glamins from Gordons, tore up a bunch of dunes then had to guess on the premix ( When the store actually sold gas ) in order to get back to Gordons.

Fun times.

I look foward to seeing those pictures!

Is that an Alumicraft in your Avatar? Which Motor? It looks like one my friend used to own.

Yes
1999 Alumi Craft
3.2L Honda w/Mendeola 2D
I love that car

Did you buy it at the end of last season? That car was awesome. I have driven it a few times. Definetly the most reliable car in the whole camp. That motor is fast. It dunes so smooth.

Yes, end of last season.

Sweet pics..

Oh my gosh, what memories. I'm gonna have to go through my pictures. Way back when I was a kid we had a Baja bug, and there was a guy with us in our group who always had the latest and greatest. That beam car of his was so fun

The history of the sport and the old pictures are cool stuff. Post those pictures!

Awesome thread, and I hope you don't mind, but this thread belongs in Slappy's forum, cause thats where all the slappaticiously great threads end up.. So please consider this move an honor..

yes please...more photos kind sir!

We were there all kinds of times in the 80 and 90's - great pictures bring back great memories! Thanks

The hell with the 80's

nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Too new to this (2005) to comment but absolutely love hearing and seeing the "old timers" adventures. Came out the first time in a mini-van with my son and bought a 5th wheel, 1 ton and 2 quads and never looked back. I love Glamis and all that it stands for. God Bless America and all those who love freedom!

sweet pics looks like good times for sure

WOW! look how busy olds is! the sand looks just a wrecked as it does these days, but without the chitty whoops.

im gonna see if i can snag the old album from the folks place this weekend, theres lots of pics from the 70s and early 80s when they used to go out there.

we also have a forum that slappy had us create for VINTAGE stuff

Gazz, what a slapptacious set of pictures you got there. Hot darn, brings back all kinds of memories. OOOOHHH SLAPPY GOTTA DANCE. Slap just looooves the old school stuff.

Dang good photos. I was never allowed to go to Glamis with my uncles. They said it was to crazy and this was in the 70's and 80's. Boy did I miss out!
