I don't see how those closures can be enforced without a massive amount of manpower placed throughout the dunes.

Screw em.

In the South Dunes this weekend, I saw one ranger the entire time, I was there for 6 days.  Nobody even came in camp and checked passes.

what dunes in buttercup would you recommend riding? i'll be in gordon's but have been thinking of taking a drive that way one day

The dunes are nice and smooth, not a lot of them, so you end up back tracking over your lines a lot.  We will make a run to dune in Gordon's as well.  Camping is easy, and not a lot of crazies...........

Headed to Buttercup Monday thru Sunday, 15 rigs this year..................gas prices certainly aren't slowly people down.

Once  an GD.comer, you are all our friends.......RIP friend you will be missed

You rock, thank you to all

I know I can surf in the morning....ski for lunch and then dune in the evening BUT............................. I can't wait to GTFO !!!! 

Wait till they gut prop 13.....Game Over !  Newscum has sunk the ship.... Thats a fact!.......but at least the President of China will enjoy a clean San Francisco! Thats what really matters!

Overturning Prop 13 will be the final nail in the coffin for sure, none of us can afford that.

This entire country double and triple taxes us all day long, the Glamis pass is another form of taxation...............hate it all.

The days of going over there in an off road vehicle are done, used to go every trip with the family for a burger and a beer.  Total bummer for sure.

Every LEO I know is working towards retiring EARLY ASAP to get out before they lose their sanity.

 

All my buddy's have figured out ways to retire early, only way to survive anymore is to get on special assignments....being on the street every day is terrible way to work.

Thanks for taking the time to show us, love your posts.  Car is amazing.

A Hotrod is what you get when you put a car in the oven........................

Working all weekend, that time of year for my Biz, no days off from Oct 15 thru Nov 15th.  two more weeks and then Mother G for a week.

Funny, How we felt about quads 25 to 30 years ago.

Edit to add, now think it is just the sign and drive thing. 

When people have access to easy money, this is what happens.  The Hispanic community during Covid made out the best, moved most people up the income ladder for sure.  You see it everywhere.  This isn't racist, it is reality. Along with more opportunity in Construction and other trade fields of sorts, they took advantage of it all, good for them.  Havasu and Glamis have changed a lot in the past 4 years.

But in the end, most of my peeps come from a background where our Parents and Grandparents taught us how to camp and respect people and the land, both of these things are missing right now, doesn't really matter where you go off roading, you see it everywhere.

What about debauchery?  Swinging?  Swapping?  BDSM?

Of course, those are all good, just try to be in bed by 10pm.  The CL lifestyle..............haha

  Definitely! I'm good with that enforcement too. I still remember it in the early 00's and the correction shortly after.

  I didn't get mad per se, but I wanted to make clear that just because they are listening to a certain type of music and flying a certain type of flag, automatically means they are trashing the place. I'm not defending the scumbags. Matter of fact, they're not welcome in my camp. Boy have times changed though. I'm starting to believe it's a SxS thing, too now after reading some other's perspectives. Polaris to blame some too, maybe. New generation, maybe. Sucks all around.

We have rules in our camp, and newcomers are all told, the majority of our group has camped with us for over 20 years:

• We are Solar Powered, so no late night shenanigans.
• No littering
• No camp racing
• Don't be a jackass
• no fireworks or laterns

If you want to do any of these things, go outside of camp or don't camp with us.  Pretty simple

Rangers could do two things and a lot of this would go away:

- Go back to pinch points, sand highway and the entrance to Olds.

- Have a group of Rangers in the morning going into camps and just making contact.  If you see lots of trash, write them a ticket.     They will learn fast who are the issues and who isn't.

Trust me, the bad element doesn't want Rangers anywhere near them

Law Enforcement is only reactionary anymore, and for the most part the LEO's don't want to interact unless they have to, poeple have no respect for other people.

Having gone thru all of this with three kids, just get on CarMax and start shopping.  I didn't trust what I was finding in the private market in that price range.  Things were beat, needed tires and such as well.  I had great luck with CarMax.

There usually isn't a whole lot of buggy groups in Buttercup.   One group is always out there though................

It is freakin embarrassing what the off road community has become.  Zero respect for anything.  While I appreciate the Monday morning carnage, I am saddened to see what the future brings.

On a Positive note I haven't read of anyone Dying this weekend. Normally it seemed BIG weekends out there at least one person would lose their life..

Just saw a video of someone burned badly................

People are surprised there is a line and wait on Wash Road............freakin rookies

I wouldn't live actually on the course, but golf course communities are nice.  I go entire weekends and only drive my golf cart.  Just because you live on the course doesn't mean you have access to the course, in most cases that is a no.  With being in a Golf cart community, it truly feels like you live on vacation all of the time.

For myself, when I want to go golfing (about once a week), I load up my cooler, throw everything into the golf cart and drive to the course, I haven't taken my truck to our golf course in years, love the simplicity.  Golf carts lower the blood pressure for sure, HAHA

There is a reason other places are cheaper...............just saying.  

I had this happen to a GMC Denali Yukon (2006?).  Super happy it happened in a parking lot, would have killed someone on the freeway, scared me and I sold it shortly after.

Doug, welcome back.  You were the King back in the day and everything you did in life was connected to Glamis.  A few of us long timers are still here, super happy to see Royalty back.
