so i laying in bed last night tossing turning and just flat out frusterated cuz i am going through dunes with draw so i say f** IT IM GOING TO GORDENS WELL!!! so i did i woke the fiancee up told her to get dressed and meet me in the truck..with in 15 mins of deciding im going i was on the road headed for the gas station.got her bike in the truck mine on a trailer 2 gas cans some oil and riding gear..didnt even bring food just figured i would stop and grab a couple burgers from mc donalds or something on the way..so i get to gordens well at like 4:30 am un load the bikes and we are off..not a person out there but her and I so we ride for a couple hours go back to the truck for our cold cheese burger breakfast and back out to the dunes we rode untill 11:00 and back again to top off the tanks thinking we would ride from gordens well to glamis.. no big deal we ride it all the time..well as we get back to the sand highway and i can see my truck i also see the B.L.M rangers right by my truck..to make a long story short he gave me hell for 45 mins because i have red stickers on both bikes and its not the right time of year to be riding out in the dunes with red stickers..he didnt say a damb thing about me not stopping at the toll thing and not paying the $25.oo day use fee just that i had red sticker and cant ride there...so i ask him to show me in writing where it sais gordenswell is closed for the summer..he pulled out some hand book that states that from april 30th to october 30th glamis gecko and buttercup valley are all closed to bikes with red stickers?????so we decide its not worth the big fat ticket he was going to give me and we packed it up and left..they also didnt say a thing about the fact that i had a hefty bag filled with trash that i collected from out there and was packing out more trash than i brought in...but i have one question thaat i need some help answering...we pay the green or red sticker fees wich are good for 2 years in california,,but you are telling me that we can only ride from october to april????that is 6 months a year why do we have to pay for the entire year if the sticker isnt good but half the time?? am i just a big bitch or are we getting scrued here

That sucks, I'm just used to jumping on my bike and going on a tear I can leave from my backyard and go anywheres around here and I never have to pay to go riding. I guess some things you take for granted.
