I'm from the Bronx but I was stationed in San Diego for 5 years in the marine corps. I use to ride glamis all the time. This is gonna blow your mind. Get yourself a desert tank. And a set of sand star paddles. And prepare for the time of your life. You should be able to buy a out of state sticker at the ranger station. You are going to be able to hook up with tons of people from the site that ride there on the regular. I am envious of you right now. Good luck. And be careful riding. That place will kill you.
