Just got back from a great trip to glamis today!!

Monday Out in the dune's between Olds and way out towards brawley slide There was so many foot prints that just went for miles that it kinda freaked me out a little.

There were many tracks and they were spaced out about 20" or so and there had to be a large group because they were everywhere.
Im talking walking in a straight line up and over the steepest dune's. Didn't seem to care if there was an easier route to take or not just straight through the dunes?

Really wierd do to the fact that the night before the wind had blow all night and the tracks were fresh.

All I could think of is maybe a military march or something?

Any Idea's??

Later

I am thinking it is a new batch of migrant workers, I am in the south dunes alot and see TONS of tracks.

they were headed out from olds towards brawley slide out in that direction which makes it even wierder

Thats what I thought also but a closer look showed they were headed in the wrong direction to be those type of people.

Very strange!!!!!!!!!!
Jeff

Maybe they were going home for the holiday.

or lost

You obviously didnt get the memo

UNFRIGGEN BELIVEABLE

Is there a gap between the people that frequent this board and the people that actually go to the dunes AND DUNE !!! & (read, educate themselves on the situation )

Or is there just a big gap ? ie: gapping hole, crevas , fault (as in san andreas), Wheres a comet when you need one !!!

EFFIT > why bother-------------

Why bother??? Because each INFORMed person that goes to the dunes makes it better for ALL of us...

Imperial Sand Dunes 2005 Multi-Species Monitoring Program

The thing with Glamis is, between the various filming, illegal crossings, species monitoring, tourists, and "sponsored" dune hikes, one set of footprints can easily be confused with any other. Was this the species monitoring group? Probably... but it could have just as easily been any other group on foot.

It was a good question SandSpaz... don't let the condescending attitude put you off.

Vicki

WOW! Why such a 'tude?

Not everyone reads every post. Lighten up!

Edited for spelling

Spaz, were you parked across from pad one right along gecko on that "landing strip spot"? And do you have a kid? I think I saw your camp out there.

Yes I was just across from the trash bins. Where were you?
I had 4 kids out with me till my wife and daughter went home on sunday. So it wa only me and the 3 boys mon/tue.

What a tool! Im not even going to validate you with a response.

Whoops I guess this was a response!!??

What ever!

This board can really suck sometimes.
Later
Jeff

Not the board... maybe just some of its members

Variety is the spice of life, right?

Vicki

Ya Right.
The spice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Vicki.

We had a bunch of kids out last weekend tearing it up on the sandboard. There were doing a bunch of climbing up some big dunes.

No these prints went in a straight line. They didn't venture toward plants as if counting weed's. They didnt seem to group up at any certain area.
They just walked straight through, up and over anything in the path at about 20" apart. Like you would see when people sweep an area looking for crime evidence or missing person's.
Wierd

We were on Gecko, the only reason why I ask is one of "the boys" had trouble keeping his behind in his pants to passing traffic. Not to get anyone in trouble. Funny stuff. I'm used to, and strongly support full moons, but mostly at the river.

By the way, the kid had (I think) blue and white riding pants or blue and (?), maybe "no fear" stlye? It was by a MH with a box trailer. and yes right across from the trash cans.

someones gonnna get a whooping !!

HAHAH that was my bros friend, i did moon the passing cars once i believe lol sorry you had to see that...and no whoopins here, pops knew about it

That's my sons best friend! I bring him out with us because he is like an adopted son to me .
Maybe I should rethink that option

I will have discusion with that boy!

I told them to knock that chit off when I saw it but I guess he happened to pull it on your unlucky pass by my rig.

Were you on the road or in a buggy?

Later I have some hunting to do!
Jeff

We actually saw a group doing the hiking on Monday. Couldn't tell exactly what they were ovserving but at least a few of them carried safety whips and flags.

I'll run right out and join the ASA. Forgive me.

Maybe some more of you should run out and join the ASA

Sorry about the " condensending attitude " , I just get a little ( alot ) frustrated sometimes about this whole dune mess and the lack of knowledge that seems to be so widespread in the duning community.

MY BAD.

I can relate...

The GOOD NEWS... is more ARE getting "IT" everyday...

I will be handing out more info this weekend at G, like most weekends I'm out there. Educating one at a time...

Nobody has to join the ASA in my view, but I sure hope they join SOME group or organization out there working to protect future closures from happening,,,at YOUR favorite riding places...

And I posted the link above from this site that Sailaway posted. Didn't mean that is where the foot traffic was from, just my guess...

WOW! , some serious deleting gone on here . I dont mind a little reply thats not in my favor ) especially from the vicky !! and spaz ??, I just wanted to stir up things a little bit it's been a bore lately here , ha ha,. So what else is new !!.
