MotulMonsta Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 My brother is coming out from NJ and he's meeting me up in Phoenix and then it's off to Glamis...for the day, perhaps the weekend..depends on my work schedule. Anyways, I'm wondering if anyone wants to convoy out there...hopefully someone knows the area as I nor my brother has ever gone to glamis before....prefferably someone who knows where all the kick ass parties will be!

Our group will be at Gordons Well from Thursday through Sunday that weekend, you should camp with us. I highly doubt there will be any parties that weekend since it really isnt the season yet. Gordons is the same dune system, its just the dunes that are off the 8 instead of the 78. Let me know if your gonna come down.

Bansh88 Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 prefferably someone who knows where all the kick ass parties will be! Camp on Gecko and look around. Most parties are private affairs. Labor Day weekend wont be very busy. Stop Watching Quicksand videos! Those big parties don't really happen anymore as they caused closures, curfews and attracted thousands of punk assholes who came out to Glamis to do nothing but burn couches, dig ditches and leave a mess.

Venders row or further north? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on the weather, maybe I'll go out for a day or two! Where at Gordon's will you be! Venders row or further north? It should be nice and warm but I'll have my toybox out there so it shouldnt be too bad.. plus the canal is right there so its all good! We will probably be just a little ways north of vendor row... I highly doubt many people will be out there so we should be easy to spot.... will be close to the canal probably about 500 yards in or so.

MotulMonsta Posted August 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 How hot does it get? I mean it can't be any hotter the Phoenix mid summer..110-120 degrees. Hopefully my brother can take it. I'm also having trouble getting that green sticker...everybody is out of them until california releases the new ones..could be a problem. What's the best way to go coming from Phoenix? One more question. We will be rockin' a bronco woth a 10' by 8' box trailer...would we get stuck trying to park? I have never been to Glamis before.

Bansh88 Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 If you camp on the East side, The Washes, you'll have no problem. If you try and camp off of Gecko Rd, the West side, be careful not to travel more than 10' off the pavement. If that. It can be very soft. Especially if you have a trailer. It might not be much over 100F. It should be busy enough, not to worry about having a Red sticker. Just remember to have a pass. If you don't and you get checked, they may want to check out your stuff. No idea how to get there from Phoenix. Look on a map and find out how to get to the 78.

How hot? Daytime high is supposed to be 106-108.. which isnt all the bad... but during the peak of the afternoon we most likley wont be riding we will be sitting in the canal or river throwing back a few.... if this is your first time coming out I think you will have a good time we can show you the ropes. Well.. if you come to gordons and you get stuck i can give you a tow... its not too bad at gordons. I wouldnt worry about green vs red sticker.. like bansh said as long as you dont do something stupid they shouldnt check you. ***THESE ARE DIRECTIONS TO GORDONS NOT GLAMIS. As for directions.. depends on where in phoenix you live.. the easiest way would be to take the 10 West to the 85 South towards Gila Bend... then hop on the 8 West all the way there and exit Gordons Well Rd.... then turn right... what time and day would you plan on leaving? once you get off the freeway depending on the day i could meet you and guide you in.

knight_ripper Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 LMAO>>>>after going thru 3 stock axles I finally went to a Lonestar. BUT what I hear is the sheet....is an LT500 axle on the shee. I hear once you adapt to that axle...its almost impossible to bend or break. One day I may rebuild my rearend using the LT500 axle. just for fun. Have fun out at Glamis....Im planning on making it for Thanksgiving weekend. I have never been...so I wanted to be there on the biggest day of the year. After I visit once, I will then go on off days to enjoy the dunes. But I want to party...and I hear its the place to be on T-Day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
