Animalman294 Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 We are planning on going for the first time on Thanksgiving weekend and wondered how it was. I hear the weather is great at that time. Anyone with info I would like to hear from ya. What are the fees like, and is there a noise curfew now or times that you can't run the hills? Thanks for the info.................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bansh88 Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 $90 for the season pass. $25 for the week. Hour after sunset to hour before sunrise at Olds and Comp. Supposedly noise restrictions on pipes. yet to hear of it enforced. Crowds will be extreme in size and sand will be chopped as hell. If there has been rain in the weeks before, it will be almost unrideable. My reccomendation. take a vacation for any other week. I'm staying home this Thanksgiving. If you cant go any other weekend, camp at the washes. the farther down the better. Less crowded, less dust, less noise and disruptions. If you try and camp on Gecko, you will regret it unless you want the "Quicksand" experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansheeryder21 Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 I agree with 88. Glamis is always a crazy ass place these days. Can't really relax and enjoy the time in the desert! On big weekends it is just unreal. It's gets really dangerous out there too. Stay away from gecko. If you want a more relaxing place, go to Gordon's Well and camp at Olgilbe. It's much less crowded over there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bansh88 Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 Ogilby? Bit TOO quiet there. Too far from real dunes. Gordons will be just as packed and really hard to find your way around the flats at night. Oldsmobile will be packed all day and every day for Tday. Laterally from washes to Gecko will have lots of traffic and tore up sand. Hopefully you are camping with people who can navigate Glamis. Stay in the Southern part of Glamis. Rides to and from China Wall will still be sweet. All the kooks will be in high visibility areas so they can all make jackasses of themselves and watch others do the same. Brawler Slide and Lizard Hill will also be low traffic destinations with pretty good sand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaysea1 Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 thats true...finding camp at night at Gordon's well is a challenge on big weekends, and Test hill is crazy at night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaysea1 Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 Bansh88, where do you like to camp at Gordon's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansheeryder21 Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 ON really big weekends I camp at Olgible. On a normal weekends I camp in the main wash at gordons. I try to stay close to the canal as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bansh88 Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 Bansh88, where do you like to camp at Gordon's? 417718[/snapback] I've always camped along the Coachella Canal (concrete). Easy to find camp and nice to take a dip. Sometines out in the middle though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rider22 Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 All of the above is true. If you want to "ride" Glamis, do it on another weekend. If you want to sit back and watch the action, there will be plenty to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bansh88 Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 I'll be out in the washes for Halloween. Olds has no "official" curfew. Due to the Comp closures at night, the kook crowds have moved over to Olds. Several times last year, the Law had to come in and sweep the place clean. Pepperballs were even used to disperse people. Checkpoints were used a few times going down Olds road. Main purpose is to deter Truck Punks going out there to just party and trash the place. I'm not trying to scare any newbies. Just stating the facts. I know some guys want to see/be in all the "Quicksand" style action and bullshit. If you want it, it's not hard to find. Just dont get pissed when some Vato Locos jump you and your bike or the cops bean bag your ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlinginBanshee Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 I understand what your saying but I have been down there the past 3 years in a row and in 03 it was crazy but It is nothing like it used to be We even rode our bikes down to olds at about midnight one night and dident see half the shit ya saw at comp in 02 and 03 so honestly there isent as big of a worry as there was 3 years ago..Plus the cop presence has almost tripled out there....

lincster Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 Gordons for both Halloween and T day. Going for the show on T day, plenty of other weekends to get some good duning in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
