well like you guys know i live in el centro and i woke up today and we got clouds no rain but it looks like it is going to rain the worse part is the winds blowing about 40mph its nasty looks like new years might be a blow

thats not really what I wanted to hear. debating on weither or not I should go out today or just wait.

I'll take a crappy weekend at Glamis over a crappy weekend at home any day!

crap it's snowing in the pass hope we can get to vegas for the wedding

We might be cancelling our trip this weekend and head out next weekend instead. I don't want to spend all my desert money sitting in the rain. Would rather wait and go when I can RIDE.

I guess we'll have to wait and see if this weather clears up. It sucks but we drove two weekends ago when it was windy and it was not fun

shoot. I'll ride in the rain. That might be fun.
Sounds like these might be some of the same people who don't show to the night rides during summer! "too hot" waaaaaaaa

Waaaaa yourself......if I remember correctly you don't have to drive a MH/Tailer out there.

You remember corre!ctly. You don't HAVE to drive a motorhome/trailer either. Load up the truck and make a quick/easily escapable trip

That sounds fun myself, my hubby and my dad all sleeping in the cab of a F150 cab , no longer have a tent. Got rid of that when we bought the motorhome.

Could be an adventure

I remember those pics.

Sleep in the back of the truck with an ez up.

I was planning on riding in the rain, its the wind that bugs me, gusting at 40mph out there now, and driving out there is no bueno either, we decided to go out 1st thing tomorrow, but we are gonna check the weather first.

Ian,

We drove out 2 weekends ago when it was windy and they had a wind advisory. It sucked. We blew aout 5-6 feet to the right on the Pine Valley bridge. I thought for a second we were going over. After that we decided if it's windy like that, then we won't drive again. It made for a good fire conversation when we got there. But the whole way out there all I could think about was our motorhome blowing over. Not good.

I surely hope the weather clears up for you/us. Have a safe trip

Well, Ian left, the winds appear to have calmed and the rain let up a bit, so he is going to go for it. He will call when he gets over the grade in a few hours. Wish him luck!!!

I was out at about the same time, warriorgirl...wind picked my trailer up and set it down a couple feet over twice crossing the bridge! I ended up creeping the rest of the way out at about 45 mph...

I hope he has a very very safe trip.

PSD,

Yeah I remember all day talking about going and we decided to go for it. WOW!!! I didn't like it very much but the weather in Gordons when we got there was wonderful. I am glad you made it o.k. Would you do it again?

Ian made it safely over the hill. YAY!!!! He called and said it wasn't too bad until he actually got down to the bottom where it started pouring so bad, he couldn't see anything for a little bit, but when he got to El Centro the ground was dry. How weird is that?!?!?!?

I will tell him, though I am not exactly sure where the 5 miled rop is.

i type to fast for my fingers...

hey does anyone know where the saturday ride was gonna meet? i would like to have my group join up if possible. where and what time? or is it a bust?

Yamiboy: Well Ian knew exactly what 5 miled rop (5 mile drop) was, so MY BAD!!!

Saturday Morning Ride to 13.5: Meet at No Later Than 8:30 a.m. at the Corner of the Sand Highway and the Road to Patton, on the Gordon's Side. Extra gas may be available at Wash 13.5 and gas is sold at the Glamis Store. Estimated trip time: 4 hours

ouch that seems alittle too far for me and plus my crew doesnt have any idea of why i would be visiting there so i may not go. but who knows i might weet up with them anyways.

i might talk my buddy into venturing out to China wall if possible. i know what Ian rides and ill end up seeing him one time or another.

where is he/you two camping? i know what his rig is and seen it before. wasnt it like center field? or something? ill have to stop by and say hi once i get there.

Ian and James are camped about 1/4 mile from the base of Sand Highway, 1 to 1.5 miles north of the vendors. And he says it is really frickin beautiful out right now and he has a beer (or 5) for you if you stop by camp.

The Sat. Ride is going to be up the Sand Highway, cut across to hit China Wall then head over to wash 13.5.

Also, Ian said to tell you he went to the jump you guys found a year ago and it has totally changed.

Current Gordon's Weather: Wind at 5mph, Clear and Sunny, Cool at 60 degrees. 9:28 am. See you out there!!!

In these situations 3:30 never comes fast enough. Then at 3:30 your boss will come up to you and say look at what you still have to get done before you leave or come in and work tomorrow.
