How about Jan 1-4th, or Jan 16 - 18th?


I prefer Jan 1 -4, a fun trip, away from the big crowds at Glamis, Gordon's Well or Ocotillo.

Hmmnnn... my vote is the 16th.

Alot of the folks who want to go have other plans on the 1st so it should be later in the month.

Oh yeah, Mac said women have no vote.

I also need to check with KOA about space and availability for a large group.

Janet - really to change the avatar - it's missin someone

Mac doesn't know what he is talking about.

Early to mid Jan. would work for me, but I'm game for whenever, that last trip was the poop

is the trail ok for razrs to go on

I'm up for a 16th trip

RZR'z, Rhino's, quads, jeeps, trucks - all are no problem

You're gonna have to carry a little more gas Dev.

JT - I expect you'll be on this trip right?????

Gonna go ahead and set the date for Jan. 16,17,18.
The main ride is on the 17th if any one wants to just go for the day.

hmmm....sounds like fun.


Andy

bump

Sounds good, I'll put that on my calendar Last time I took my quad, this time I'm taking my car

Gonna add you to the list if your sure.

Anyone find out how much the KOA is?

I'm not sure, depends on your spot, you can call them and ask


1-800-562-7554

Is gas available at the end of the first leg @ the river?? Or do you guys take extra with. looks like about 70 miles each way.

We may make this trip...if we do, I'll be taking my truck and will gladly carry fuel...

love to. I saw the pictues from your previous runs Jim.

My Wife and I, her daughter and family from Colorado are planning on a
trip there for new years. It would be fun in a larger group so we
may also want to do Jan 16-18th.

Spoke with the owner today. He's gonna set aside a whole section for us. We may get a discount depending on how many we get going.

We will have a least one truck carrying fuel. You will need your own fuel jugs but won't need to carry them.

Be great to have you. Let me know when you're sure.

I was just talking to a friend of mine about that trip. Is it open to everybody?

Anyone and everyone is welcome.

LL - post in here if you can make it and I'll add you to the list.

So is that a yes for sure?????

Even Joyner's can make the trail

Only to those who bring us JK, the more the merrier, bring it on

shoot you could drive a geo metro on that trail...no joke. its a blast! way to much to see in one day

Heeeeey, easy on the joyners or the host might have to cut you

Hey Jim,

Have you ever made the run from the KOA to the North Glamis Dunes? If so, about how long did it take to get to the dunes?

- Rob

Can someone put the link to that thread so I can show wifey. I think we may be game. As long as Casualrider wont smoke me too bad in his new buggy!!

Here ya go. hope to see you guys there.

Not a bad drive about 40 mins but not really worth the effort when you can just drive to the dunes directly.

Let him talk. He's to0 scared to show up anyway. Somethin about goin to Big Bear that weekend for some dancing competition

Thanks for the offer. I'm still up in the air. How far from the KOA to the start of the trail? Can we drive the ORV's to the start , or do they need to be trailered? I guess the trail starts somewhere near the Salton Sea? Somewhere on the Canal Road, according to what I read.

The trail is a few miles north of the KOA. You can ride right from camp to the trail no trailer needed. We'll start from camp and go to where Canal road interescts the Bradshaw Trail.

Jan schedule's not out yet Jim - I'll let you soon.

Jim,

Add in Buddie and Nanette, our last trip was a total blast. Let's go all the way to the river this time...

We will bring the Rhino and maybe my Rail...



Buddie

Who told you about my dancing competition??? I'll bring it on and stomp the yard!!!

Done!!!!!
And we are going all the way this time.

More names added

Jim,

Add in Dave and Maria, they have a Dirt bike and Quad...

Board name Back2dunes



Thanks



Buddie
