I was very impressed at how many people came to learn and provide insight to these meetings. I would like to Thank the BOD for having this and other open meetings. A lot of great information was given and I walked away with a much better understanding of the issues and what we are doing to get our c...

Sue I am staying with my dad Friday Night and he called to check on the parking and they told us it was $22.00 a day per vehicle is this correct?

I definitely think wearing a helmet is a personal choice. Of all the accidents I have worked, and unfortunately there have been a lot. I don't think I've really ever seen a neck injury. I have seen many, many broken backs, broken arms, broken legs. Of course the few head injuries were not wearing th...

Nikki

If you use the right email address My dad Rusty will get back to you quickly. He is still in Glamis, so don't expect a response until next week. My dad helped at the accident scene, thats why I was trying to find out how Chuck is. We were hoping he was ok. I am very glad to hear he is doing well.

Nikki

Has any one heard how Chuck is doing after his crash this past weekend?

Nikki

Nikki

There were vendors out there this past weekend. I'm sure they are staying for the week.

Nikki

Derek, I wanted to express my sadness as well. I was one of the EMS people who helped your cousin. And after believing he would be ok, i was very upset on Sunday when I heard the news. I am so so sorry...After returning your quads to your camp, we headed home, cold, and tired, but with the lasting i...

Nikki

Please remember that this incident names only two BLM Rangers. Yes there have been other reports. But not every single BLM ranger is at fault. There are men and woman who follow the law and treat us with respect, let's not forget about them! Brian I wish you a speedy recovery, and only the best in t...

Bill~

Please keep us informed on how Trent is doing. My father Rusty and I were two of the people helping to extricate Trent from the buggy. I'm happy to hear that his spirits are up, that is a very important piece in his recovery.

Tim,

I sent you an email. But we can most likely work out a way to get you a radio if you wish to help. We are willing to work with anyone who is interested in helping. My father has a ham radio in his buggy, as well as all of our vehicles.

Nikki Massie

Nikki

Yes. They were doing that a couple of weeks ago. Drive up give them your full receipt, they give you a pass. If you don't have the full receipt they say sorry buy a new one. Also an LEO was standing there issuing tickets.

Nikki

Nikki

When my father and I decided to try and reorganize the DP, we knew there were some problems. We are trying to fix those problems and make them better. We chose to try and find a solution, not be part of the problem. We did not like that it was nearly impossible to get a radio, we did not like that p...

Nikki

Doesn't it need to be in Escondido 10/18?
For the Mech Tech show?

U-Park had one of their people selling passes from the Big outsider ASA booth as well as at the BLM table.

Union Bank of California is closed for that Holiday!

Nikki

I just wanted to say thank you to Cricket. You kept me laughing after hours of blaring music at the raffle table. Thanks for everything you did, you were constantly on the move. Darrin, thank you for checking on us at the raffle table and offering to give us a bathroom break... At past shows, it was...

Nikki

When the BLM check Green stickers, they are often checking for stolen vehicles as well. Just another side.

Nikki Massie

Nikki

Nik I do understand. I agree with what you said. I was asked to hand out flyers and work with u-park on selling passes. Your probably right about having good experiences with the LEO's because of my father and I being very active with the Dune Patrol. In the past we have had our share of problems, w...

Nikki

I think it's a lack of respect. Respect for others, themselves, or the sand! I have asked many people to pick up there trash. I ask them how exactly they expect their trash to get in the trash can? I spend the last 20 minutes of my trip to Glamis, picking up trash in my camp area. I'm a firm believe...

Nikki

Friday at 4pm, before the show opened we asked u-park about the passes and if they would be sold at the show. We were told they were waiting for BLM people, who had recently picked up the passes from the printer. I was also inquiring about the cost of making the new pass, since its better quality. T...

Nikki

Jason, I think maybe you missed that we camp three or four deep. It's more that we don't want to put our vehicles in the sand. We might initially be saving space like on Tuesday, Wednesday., but by Thursday the group is filling in the space. We often ask people unknown to us if they need space when ...

Nikki

Thank you Flo...

Nikki Massie

Nikki

I totally agree. Give me an earthquake any day. Although i guess you normally have warnings about Hurricane's.

Nikki Massie

Nikki

I think this is an excellent topic. I too have never had a bad experience with a Ranger or a LEO. And yes, they are very different. I can tell you that rangers take a lot of abuse. Most people do not know the difference between LEO and Park rangers, and really don't care. Long after most of us have ...

Nikki

Last season, our group was harassed several times about moving cones, that were blocking the parking spots, for trucks that had been taken into Brawley for supplies, or that had gone to the drags. So yes the BLM do some times enforce the space rules. We use cones to (try) to protect the front end of...

Nikki

That would definitely be very hard to enforce. They would need many more law enforcement out there, to accomplish that. More likely, they are going to enforce the speed law around camp, that has been in place for years.

Nikki Massie

Nikki

One huge step forward!!! Let's not loose our forward momentum!!!

My first trip this season will be for Halloween weekend, and the Poker Run. Is it October yet?

Nikki Massie

Nikki

I would like to work the raffle tickets from 10-2. I will be at the show all weekend and more then willing to help. However, my father (Rusty Massie) has offered my help to both ASA and to SDORC. So I'm not sure what else I will be doing at this time.

Nikki Massie

Nikki

I would like to work the raffle tickets from 6:30-10:30. Not sure if I can get off work early enough to be there for the 4:30 shift.

Nikki Massie

Nikki

Thor,

Did you stay at Red Beach on Camp Pendelton?

Nikki

Nikki

I just want to wish Grant and Greg the best of luck. And say thank you for stepping up and protecting my right to dune.

Nikki Massie

Nikki

Great Job everyone!

Nikki

Nikki

Thank You Bob !!!

Twenty some years ago, when I was too young to help load after one of my much loved Glamis trips. My dad would give me a trash bag and tell me I couldn't stop picking up trash in our camp until it was cleaner then when we arrived. Today I participate in cleanups when I am able too. I also take pictu...

Nikki

Ditto,,, you all sum it up quite well!

Nikki

Nikki

That really sucks. They are going to start charging to go the store..

Nikki

[For the record that Ron isn't this Ron...] If that clarification was for me, it wasn't necessary. That was my boyfriend trying to get my dad to post on this board. His way of being funny..

Nikki Massie

Nikki

It just makes me sick. People who believe there views are right so strongly they put others lives at risk.

Nikki Massie

Nikki

Come on Ron give my dad a break! He just returned from vacation, and has been very sick, is trying to keep up with all the issues, both here and at SDORC. He is trying to get a password so he can post. He is getting prepared for the SSSS for which he is supporting both organizations.. Nikki Massie

Nikki

After almost 30 years of enjoying Glamis, I believe there is a need for some enforcement. I for one do not want to spend the money on my desert toys and gas, only to be afraid to use them, because of some people who like to bully and ruin the trips of others. I spend my every moment at Glamis on cal...

Nikki

You would be surprised to know how many drunk drivers they stop at the checkpoint. They asked a man to get out of his truck, to ask a question about his boat, and the man stepped out and fell on his face, he was so drunk. If that stop catches even one drunk driver then by all means I can wait as alo...

Nikki

I absolutely agree. But one Holiday without incident doesn't warrant dropping the number of LEO's just yet. Let's get through a season, and then yes absolutely lets scale back, be responsible for ourselves, and have a good time.. Dune hang with friends and dune some more.. I would love to go out and...

Nikki

Vor, I was asking only because after to talking to friends, LE and others, I was told it was one of the quietest Holiday weekends in years. The LE was actually bored alot of the time. The biggest problem came after the closing of the drags after Old's was closed. Lot's of angry people. And I know th...

Nikki

Did you ask your friends what they did to get this treatment? I'm not in any way saying anyone deserves that kind of treatment, not even if they resisted arresst. I just know from experience, a lot of people tell their story, but just happen to leave out what they did that caused the behavior...??? ...

Nikki

I was there when Olds was shut down. I am a volunteer EMT and was stationed at Old's to assist with any Medicals. Luckily I was in our sandrail, and not in a Govmt vehicle. The other EMT that were at the hill were being harrassed by the duners. There was so much harrassing we were all told to leave ...

Nikki

Congratulations.... Best of luck to you both!

Nikki

Nikki

What a wonderful change. The LE's were bored and minding their own business. The few people who were out there enjoyed the warm weather with us, and they were respectful and had a good time. I sure hope this is a continuing trend. Less people makes it safer. Drags stayed safe as well as Olds Hill. I...

Nikki

Flo, any time you need help just let me know. I enjoy driving , and if I'm available, i'd love to help.

Nikki

Nikki

I in no way think or want anyone to die. I have had a friend die of exposure. But his decision to be out duning alone without anything to drink or to cover himself up with, cost him his life. No one went around leaving water in wells around so that there would be water incase he broke down , or anyo...
