We will be at Buttercup from Monday to Friday between Christmas and New Years. I wonder how packed the culdesac area will be. My cousins motor home gets stuck very easy. (Of course it was not aired down) It has been quite some time for me but how is the access to camping down on the west end by plank road. I also would like to not have to air down and spend an hour pumping back up. My Suburban pulling the toyhauler does ok in 4 wheel drive but any softness I need to air down. Who else will be down there? Any buggies?

My group will be at Gordons from 27thish till around the 1st or the 2nd.

After you go down the hill, there is a pad behind the bathrooms that is super hard. Think there is asphalt under the sand. Pusher have no problem at all there

Its been a while. Are you talking clear at the west end past the old plank road. I don't remember bathrooms down there. Did they add some? May just have never noticed if they were.

Our group will be out from the 30th - 4th in Gordons Well around second base/center field.

Old Folks RV park for us next to the diner 23-29th or 31st

26th - 4th - Gecko somewhere

GO TO THE COMPOUND!

I think you're lost Derek, this is the Buttercup and Gordons Forum.

oh, its just part of an ongoing conversation he and I have been having....mostly about how he is a fool for camping in the south dunes when all the cool peeps are in Glamis!!!!

That's debatable guy!!!

Look me up Pops. You can come over here some of my

Yah yah, I know. I just like the small dunes at Buttercup for the kids on the RZR and my cousins younger kids in the Pilots. B-Cup is a little small for the Buggy but just trying to keep everyone happy. My first dune trip was to Buttercup in 1986 and duned at night my first time. It was pretty scary trying to stay up. I still love the big dunes on the west end and there is one transition that I consistently dream about.
I pity the poor fool:

Yeah, on the right side there are restrooms. The areas near them appear to be pretty solid ground, shouldn't have any problems in there.

don't tease me son.
is your buddy gonna be at the RV Park?

We might be travelin to Phx and back..

If your camped next to Marty Smith again, call me. Ill stop in cause I want some pics.. missed it last time - and I feel horrible about not taking a pic of him by his bikes..

We'll be in the same spot. He said he was coming back for Xmas/New Years. i'll call ya when he shows up.

Marty Smith? As in THE Marty Smith motocross legend?

I don't know, I haven't talked to him since T-day.

the one and only. He's camped next to us the last 2 trips. real down to earth guy considering what he's done.

So, does he ride bikes in the dunes, drive a rail, side x side? What's the scoop? He's probably about 50 years old?

hes got a supercharged buggy and some bikes. His kids been out there with him as well. last time,the grand kids and wife too. real nice,friendly. I don't know how he puts up with us.

Merry Christmas, and I'll be out there for New Years.

Looks like we will be going to Olgilby instead of Buttercup. I heard the road was pretty bad at Thanksgiving but assume it will be good with the recent rain. Anyone been in there recently?
I hate the drive out to the dunes but sure is a nice place to camp.

Saw a lot of people camped at geritol flats over Thanksgiving. Not sure how the road was or is now though. Gordons wasn't that bad over Thanksgiving though.

Agreed. Flats were actually fairly nice over T-day. I was pretty scared, because it seems that if somebody is getting stuck, it's me. Motored in and out just fine.

Will be in Buttercup 26th-31st, near Plank Road, same spot we have camped in for 10 years.

HV, let's get together for a beer or two........

Done!!! Alex, you can reach us on channel 16 PCI relay or whiplash for the couple of you guys on RacerX setups. We will be in the usual spot about 1/2 -3/4 mile north and maybe 300ft east of the canal. It'd be great to see all you guys again.

Ill be in Bcup on the 1st. Would like to get together with some buggy guys for a run or two because I am the only one in our group.

Any updates on the crowds? Any room left in the cul de sac?

I'll Be at Buttercup on the 1st, with a few other LT cars, come and join yor rides anytime.

Ill keep an eye out for you! thanks...

You can't miss him.... he will be in 1 spot all weekend taking pix....

Ya know....
On Tday there were 20+ people saying they were going to be at Ogilby/Gordons but I drove around one day for about an hour looking at camps and didn't see any GD.com stickers or familiar cars.
Gotta be a better way to met folks here on the board.
I'll be at Ogilby flats wed thru sunday with a large group right off to the right next to a big circle track. Probably be one of the bigger groups over there with 20+ rigs in a circle. I'll be sporting a GD.com flag and a GD.com sticker with my handle on the RV, stop in for a I C D B if ya see me.

If you're in Gordon's look for the red and white checkered flags. Every rig in our camp flies team purina!

I was the guy with the buggy on a jack with the rear torn out........
I drove the buggy a total of 1 hour over 4 days..
Glad you had fun MBD!! Nice pics.

That is a total bummer dude! I was the only car still drivable on saturday at my camp. Its not like they had fun breaking them. I'll will be out there in two weeks looking for those peps who are talking smack.

I did the math; and for you to use 50 gallons of fuel in 1 trip calc's out to 9,243 runs from camp to the hill and back.


Nice pix!! Hey the next time we're at the drags can you take one of me in front of you?

Red does not show up to well on my camera.

Deb got Moe a squeaky football which he could tear up in about 5 seconds if he wanted to. Rather he walks around the
house with it in his mouth making it squeak. The funny thing is, he howls at the same time he chomps on it. Almost as
if he is singing along with the squeak. Crazy dog!

Toby is out back hawling right now, thats to funny. Anyway this is what your car looks like when i take a picture of it at the drags.

Are those Randy's tire on the back of your car? I want to give them a run someday, just for fun.

Yes they are! and yes you can run them, if you promise not to put anyone in those back seats. If you haven't taken those stupid things out already. Bart wishes he did after this last weekend. Clutch and one 934 CV. Parts $1,600.00- Passengers cost $0.00

I looked and looked but I saw nothing. Saw a car similar to yours and waved but they just starred?
