Cotton eyed Joe Posted December 3, 2003 Report Share Posted December 3, 2003 Baker California was mentioned as a close town to the dunes, but is there a zip code or anything near or around the dunes so I can map quest this thing?? Personally I can't stand Vegas other than whats on The Strip, so I would need to take my final stop in Mesquite, or pass on to another town. Stan, Stan, Stan....... Check this link mapquest dumont I hope your not trying to skip out on this trip.... I dont want to have to hunt you down! LOL!! Mostly looking for a place I can stop if I forget to bring something. Planning a trip more than about 500 miles round trip for me is like trying to shoot an arrow through an open box car thats 5 miles away, and traveling 55 miles per hour. I got to plan, plan, plan. I got some shit on my agenda, that hopefully will be off my agenda in the coming week. The only things that may keep me from going is finances, and if my Banshee is put together or not. If none of my buddys want to go fine. I'll make the drive myself. I aint scared. EDIT** LOL There are more directions getting me to the freeway in front of my house that there is to the dunes. I get on I-15 and stay there for around 540 miles. Hang a right at CA-127 and another 33 miles gets me to within 2 miles. Then it says I need a map.

Chemical Castration Posted December 3, 2003 Report Share Posted December 3, 2003 6 hours and 37 minutes from Yuma. But I know I can take a few hours off of that. It's showing me a whack route to get there I know theres a better way than the one mapquest is showing me. Plus there are a few shortcuts I found on my many visits to Los Angeles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

banshee370 Posted December 3, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2003 Stan: Get yourself a map, hop your ass in the truck and GO! I've made several long dune trips solo, and I would do it again in a heartbeat. How far are you from Vegas? You could always meet us there on the 3rd (wed evening) or Thursday morning, and follow us out. (i know ya have Vegas) Make yourself a list, then prioritize whats on the list. If ya bring everything on the list that is needed, then your all set. If ya forget anything.... Im sure one of the guys in my group will have it. (except for banshee parts) This is the 5th or 6th large dune trip I've planned, so if you have any questions........ just ask Justin: I've been told its much taller and steeper than China Wall. Just get your ass out there and lets have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LMMFAO!!! The only part that would even be remotely hard about getting there is finding a place to take a dump along the way. Is there more than one place to camp?? The first time I went to Sand Mountain Ut, I got ditched. There are about 5-6 camp grounds, all about 20 miles apart from one another. I just waited at a cross road until someone came back to get their beer from my truck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenBB Posted December 3, 2003 Report Share Posted December 3, 2003 OK, tentatively, hopefully, fairly optimistically and very probably, I'm IN Nobody better give me any shit if I hafta drive the wife's minivan, that thing gets twice the mileage as my half ton, hehe just might have to take the wheels off the Banshee and shove it in sideways So I got past the biggest hurdle, finally got some bucks to pay for fuel, got it set aside for tha trip, everything else is just details...I'll keep everyone posted as I know what's going on... B370 can't wait to meet up with you and ride, and I sure hope Stan, Blue, Banchetta, Justin, theeechozen1 and everyone else can make it too!!!!!

banshee370 Posted December 4, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2003 Stan: Why are you worried about a place to camp? I told ya there will be a BUNCH of us already getting together. If your that serious about joining us, then I will get you exact directions to where we will be and what vehicles to look for. I may even get another "roostfest" banner made up for this trip too. Duece: You dont play at the big hill anymore? The group I go with doesnt hang at the "hill" all day and race.... we take fast & slow dune rides depending on who is in the pack and their abilities. BenBB: I dont care if you haul the shee there on a Yugo. Just get ur ass there! I feel the same way... I cant wait to meet all you guys! Even Blue_Duece hehe Reas11: If I didnt have a +4 swingarm then I could use a smaller container to ship the shee and save myself close to 600.00! But Noooo. As of right now I'm looking at 1100.00-1200.00 for round trip. YUCK! But,,, Its WELL worth it! My wife found us round trip airfare to Vegas and back for 400.00+\-. I'm going to be reserving the motorhome hopefully this week, and that should be around 600.00 for 5 days. YIKES! I just added all of that up...... Phew. Its a good thing I'm not telling the wife about everything CB67rs1: The dates are March 4th (wed) to Mar 7th (sunday) Whats the kid have to do with this trip? hehehe 91 days, 16 hours, 14 minutes, and 11 seconds left until ROOSTFEST 2004!! The kid will be 3 months old by then! Just in time to get away! hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walt, ill go right on up that big sonofabitch, i do it all the time, but Stans my friend and i think i need to stand by him in his time of need, so he and i will tour the kiddie dunes and drink beer and Q up some beef while you all go play, but when we all go hit the open desert, f*ck Stan he's on his own, thats my kinda riding and i know some sweet spots out there.........
