Additionally there's some information about riding areas, local c...

380 miles? @ 4.59 gal? :shock: d. Has my vote :cry: All things being equal: 380 miles to Glamis / 8 mpg = 47.5 gallons required to get there 47.5 x 4.59 gallon = $218 (as of now in the bad new days) 47.5 x 3.00 gallon = $142 (those were the good old days) 218 - 142 = $76 difference now vs. then If ...

Actually, what I find interesting is that the ethics probe has revealed him to be something of a bully in his elected office. Apparently his strategy hasn't changed. If you can't convince them with the logic of your argument, resort to shouting and intimidation.

Classic 80s stuff and lots of recognizable places along I10. I'm glad my son got to experience Cabazon, before the casino.

MattV

Well this is good. This was the last of them that I'm on to become available via Tapatalk. Thanks Jason.

I really like the X by the way. I thought it would be overly large too, but I have found it to be a bigger asset than it is a negative.

If it's too dangerous for a rescue, it's certainly too dangerous for a recovery.

Fire away...

Both of your reasons make perfect sense to me... Or is that all 7 reasons?

MattV

Wash 14, 28-31 December. Red Dodge and white Ford with a couple of buggies... Feel free to drop by.

MattV

Is the show any good? After reading the little book, I can't see how they could do it justice...

MattV

I'm gonna go with "not riding".

MattV

Once again it's that time of year... Time for the much anticipated beer tapping for the benefit of The K9 Connection http://www.thek9connection.org This year's event will be held on October 14th, 2010, at 630pm, at the Desert Ridge Rock Bottom in Phoenix, Arizona. We will be tapping a Kolsch and cel...

its got a cadillac northstar in it....... and its not remote controlled... its a badass car... it just has a few issues with the tires. Shouldn't have any issues getting up Patton with that motor...

They're building a network of new drainage channels. All of them empty into Cinder Lake...

My dad owns the Blue Swift sand car. It doesnt seem to have any problems except getting up the hill. Itll get up patten valley without anybody in it . All it needs is new paddles because the ones on there are chewed up bad. Wow, nobody in it? Is it remote controlled or what? Now that would be somet...

MattV

Any word on this event for this year? I know that it was not held last year for a variety of reasons. Just seems a shame for this event to go away altogether.

MattV

I second the Amdro. Only thing that works besides the stuff the EPA banned in the early 80s.

MattV

This would also eliminate the possibility of using a stake or similar for winching or vehicle recovery purposes. Maybe an exemption for horseshoes and similar games, and for recovery purposes, provided that they are actively being used and not left unattended...

MattV

I still enjoy the cinders. Lots of places to go from there, and so whooped out if you stay in the right places. I like the atmosphere better than the dunes. Much more relaxed. It's also a great place to base trips to places like Grand Falls. My buggy is fairly deserty, which I guess makes a differen...

MattV

Outstanding! Congratulations!

MattV

Nice buggy. No need to wait, though. Make a run up.to the cinders. There are also plenty of places to go up on the rim and other places with some elevation. We just made a run from Bumble Bee to Prescott and back. About 140 miles round trip through the Bradshaws, with a stop for lunch in Prescott. G...

MattV

Fun stuff... Glad you made it. At least there are some decent RV places on the east end of town...

MattV

Congratulations to both of you!

MattV

So I need some information from our Phoenix residents. We're looking at east valley, and I've been told by a real estate professional that most homes in the valley don't allow RV parking for more than 72 hours, even with an RV gate :?: Is this true? (I'd really prefer to keep the motorhome and trai...

Okay, time to rally the troops. What I am posting is one of the things I keep a copy of at my desk and refer to when things get a little "out of hand".

Yes, we need to police ourselves before others decide to do it for us (like in north carolina)! While my son was riding his 50 at 2 yrs old.... he will not be on a 400 until he's old enough to buy it for himself!! How Ironic, Woodglue. My son will be turning 2 at the beginning of the next dune seas...

That would be nice, but I wouldn't count on it. Looking at it, though I can tell without being told.

Yes, it does, but he also provided a pretty detailed explanation of how he did the image.

Be careful about where you look in the Phoenix Area. Unlike most cities, there isn't so much a "bad side of town" as there are are little pockets of nastiness scattered about. I know the area pretty well. Feel free to PM me. I may be able to do a quick recon for you, too, if you let me know any pros...

MattV

Lots of places to do desert riding here, too...

MattV

Has the ASA endorsed any of the alternatives? Are there plans to do so? There are a great many things to consider this tome around, with all of the geothermal and solar considerations. It would be good to all be on the same page if we can. Of course, that page could also be "none of the above" or so...

The moral of the story? Be the lizard.

Cool.. The HD Cam works nicely. What is that single seater in front of you? It looks fun.

You know, this whole thread was actually mildly entertaining for a little while. It seems now to have shifted into hyperbole and wild, unsupported accusations. I've been going to the dunes and off roading in general for most of my life. I have yet to have any kind of truly negative experience with a...

MattV

Looks very cool. I have'nt seen a Pinto motor in the dunes in, oh, 15 years or so. They use to be quiet common back in the day. That is cool lookin'. I remember those pinto days, all us VW guys thought they were crazy bringing out a water cooled motor. All that weight you know and possible break do...

I like the whole movie theater theme.

Ahh that makes sense..

Anyone know what happened to them? Their website appears to be parked, domain name expired as of 020710.

We were headed back to Phoenix. Is coyote wash the new one at the wellton exit?

MattV

I located a free one in Wellton. It's at the Chevron on the south side of I-8.

MattV

Anyone know of a dump station in Yuma?
