travis624 Post subject: Re: I'm getting kicked out of our campground I just got a phone call (1:15pm today) from our friends that are out at glamis for the weekend and camped in our old spot east of the tracks and on the east side of Ted Kipf at about the 4th wash, the BLM drove in and told them th...

I plan on making the Ontario meeting. Anyone else?

Greg Hall

My concern is that once the fence is in place it will become a huge target for vandals. The RR as we have all learned does not have to allow access via wash road, BLM has no authority to force (even if they wanted to) the RR to allow continued usage. We also know how soft the wash access can get in ...

A dune trip for this weekend is still undecided. My son is trying to get his '51 Chevy driveable for a RatRod car show on 11/15. That gives us this next week to make that happen. Got the new 350 SBC & auto trans in and finishing up the wiring, cooling and exhaust. That engine was sitting on a stand...

At least it will be easier to spot you that way! (and not run over you! I was getting a bit worried)

Yup! Are you going to venture up north this weekend? We will have both Jeeps out, camping near Boardmanville.

Same here. I guess we will just have to do our own mini clean-up on Sunday.

I'll keep an eye out for your jeeps this weekend. When you see they guy in my avatar waving, you know who it is.

Thanks Mike! I will print a copy of your avatar so I can match you up with it!!! LOL!!!

Greg Hall

We will be camped next to Boardmanville 11/8 - 11/11 will have both Jeeps out to play! And Turkey day will be at wash 15/16/17 where ever we can fit the group 11/26 - 11/30

Greg Hall

Looks like our St. Anthony plans might change. Unless I can swing spending a full week at the dunes I just can't justify the fuel cost the way it is going.

But if things click just right then a spur of the moment trip might be in order!

Greg Hall

Ok...Plaster Blaster is on my schedule! October 2,3,4 & 5 Looks like a blast! Did you find an official announcement of this years dates? Or are we just going on history/momentum in setting our calendar dates? Dwayne (djw) came out a year or two and with his son and had a great time, we were going t...

Greg Hall

Greg & Glenn, How were the meetings that you attended? Did anyone else from here go? Not very many people there at all. Maybe 20 people. We did have the opportunity to spend a great deal of time asking questions and reviewing what little information the BLM brought. Picked up a couple of comment fo...

Really cool but....$2500.!!! Just think of the trouble it would cause to play on the same playground as smaller scale trucks! As for the rockets, my son got me back into those a couple of years ago and yes they have really changed since the days when I was first involved back in late 70's early 80's...

Greg Hall

Who else is going to San Diego Tuesday?

Greg Hall

But I take more days off to get more bang for the buck. That is probably the best way to curtail your costs... take fewer trips, but make each trip longer. This equates to less miles driven to / from the dunes for the same amount of days spinning paddles. :wink: This is exactly what we have been do...

Greg Hall

It looks like he may have been stopped. I have also been told that fines were involved but so far I have not been able to verify that info. I am working on a way to link any new permits pulled for that area on my web site so that we can see what might be on the way. Of course that won't help for tho...

Greg Hall

I've said it in several posts recently that number of visitors is noticeable down compared to previous years. Also, with the exceptions of DUI arrests, it appears that "incidents" were down as well. Good news all around. I don't know about that. LE citations is way up especially once the low visito...

Greg Hall

Send an e-mail to Dune Excursions flybo21@aol.com I would bet they can help you. These are great guys!

Greg Hall

Hmm...

So visitation has decreased and incidents have increased. Not a good trend.

Looks like fun Guy! We were going to take the two wheelers up to that area last weekend......but I just couldn't get up the nerve to brave the cold!

Greg Hall

Fantastic news!

Grow PMV grow!!!

Greg Hall

Yep...that would be just a little problem!

How about a blown 502 Chevy to swap in there?

(Might be sleeping in the garage though!)

Thanks for the diagrams. I think they will help. What will changing to GM 1 wire alt do? I already have the ford alt and I don't think I would want to spend more money then I have to.

We had a CHP officer stop by to check a customers MoHo and trailer recently. He stepped off the length at 64' but actual measurement taped at 65.5' He is also a customer and I questioned if this would be the way he would measure a rig out on the road. His reply was that if he didn't have a tape in h...

Greg, did you say you were going to camp in the BLM area? I'm wondering how crowded that gets and if you are running the risk of coming up empty handed after traveling all the way out there. I'm trying to plan a summer trip now...Oregon possibly, but SA is not out of the question. This past summer ...
