The 2010 ASA Dune Trip

Post by **Woodglue** » Thu Mar 05, 2009 10:30 am

The 2010 aSa Dune Trip is open to any member of the ASA! If you're not a member, you can sign up for free at: Join the ASA!
This is our annual opportunity for us to all camp together.

Come out to Glamis and circle your rigs on Feb 26~28, 2010 in Wash 16 with fellow members of the aSa for a weekend of fun with like minded duners!

A series of group rides will take place as well as camp fire fun and just good ole conversation to be had by all!

Check out our 2009 ASA Dune Trip thread for a little history.

Most will arrive to the Wash16 camp on Friday afternoon, while others will already be there by that time.
Most will depart on Sunday night, while others will stay behind for another day or two of fun.

We are family oriented and fun-loving stewards of the dunes.

Not to be too formal, but here are some guidelines...

Know the aSa's position on nails, metal, glass, etc.

Know the law about drinking and duning.
On rides:

Wear the appropriate Riding Gear, BackPack with tools, GPS, Cell Phone, Water and Goggles to name a few.

Stay in line, passing at speed puts others in danger.

Each rider is responsible for the rider behind them. If he/she stops, you stop too.

Everyone is depending on your ride to make it back to camp. Is yours up for it?

We hope to have you join us!

I don't even know what I'm doing tonight. I HOPE I go to the dunes next February. I know I'll be there close to then for my annual birthday trip (around the 14th). Whos up to staying from Presidents day thru this planned trip? Screw it whos up to making it a season long trip?

Arrive October 15th
Depart April 8th?

What the heck put me in the maybe colum.

Guys, we realize The Duner Connection forum is more light hearted, but would your want your (real or hypothetical) 6 year old son or daughter to read this?

the_fog · Post by **the_fog** » Sat Mar 07, 2009 8:01 pm

It's a BBQ pit.

Glamisbound · Post by **Glamisbound** » Sun Mar 08, 2009 7:40 pm

Yeah, I want in next year...

GlamisSandDuner · Post by **GlamisSandDuner** » Sun Mar 08, 2009 10:01 pm

Though I have only been on one of these ASA trips, which we thoroughly enjoyed BTW, =D> I'm thinking that we need to turn this into more than just a Friday night to Sunday thing. I say three full days minimum, but four days would be even better.

It's always an option to do that.
If the trip is 'planned' for Friday thru Sunday, anyone can come out earlier [like alyshka] and stay later [like Glamisbound]. We will plan it to be a longer trip next year though. How about thursday Night thru Monday.

Add us to the "I wanna go and we'll try really hard" list.

We missed this year's trip and I'm sad.

Change me to the game on / confirmed list and add Dione

. I'm pretty sure that Dennis AKA Walter will be going as well.

You're already on the "Maybe List".

Post by **Woodglue** » Thu Oct 08, 2009 9:22 am

I think it would be cool to have a day-time hang out area in the center of camp. Something that can be a central hang-out kind of like the fire-pit does at Night Time.
A nice Shady place, with a table or bar. Folks can pull their camp-chairs and ice-chests over there.
Does anyone here have a Large Easy Up and a table that they would be willing to dedicate for this use?

Goofy, can you bring the projector again?
And who brought that nifty ASA Banner last year? Robert?

GoofyDuner · Post by **GoofyDuner** » Thu Oct 08, 2009 9:37 am

I have the projector and the 12ft ezup in my trailer at all times..I will have them at the camping trip..you can count on that...I have been looking ,and cant find the date for the trip..I guess I need glasses.....

Sounds good guys, I think 2 EZ UPS will do the trick!
Thank you!

Been a while so I'm bummin' this thread to the top so people can get it on their calendar.

I'm in! It's on my calendar, as long as something work-related doesn't bump it. I should at least be able to make Sat/Sun.

Rob

Glamisbound · Post by **Glamisbound** » Tue Dec 15, 2009 9:25 pm

I'm hoping to do Thursday night to Sunday this year.

Good news Rob. This never fails to be a fun trip!

By the way, welcome to the board!

We are in 25-28

Rob.G · Post by **Rob.G** » Wed Dec 16, 2009 9:39 pm

Thanks! In addition, I'm fairly sure I can make it for the whole time, not just Sat/Sun.

I just got my annual pass and the ASA 2x3 flag today. My whip flag will probably be here tomorrow. Now to figure out how to display the 2x3...

Good deal! =D>

Now, who else?
Compared to this time last year (i.e. 2 1/2 weeks prior to the trip), it looks like we're going to have a pretty slim camp this year.

FE135 · Post by **FE135** » Wed Feb 10, 2010 10:23 am

If you have room, Sloppy suggested I join in with your group.

I'm a long time duner, mostly at Dumont, but I like to get to Glamis every now and then. My sandrail is broke but I have a Manx style buggy I would bring. I'm a big photography hobbyist and would love to take lots of photos. I especially like to do night photography. My work can be seen here: http://www.nealrideoutphotography.com

It might be because it was scheduled 2 weeks after Presidents Day and might be hard for people to swing two trips in a short month. I vote we do Mid March next year St Paddys day might be fun.

Just to clarify the location, I turn right just passing the wash 16 train bridge? Will there be a sign or any markers?
Its been a few years since I've been there. Thanks

Post by **Woodglue** » Tue Feb 16, 2010 2:53 pm

Yes, you are generally correct.
On the new Wash Road, you may or may not be able to see the Wash16 Train Bridge. I don't recall.
Regardless, BLM has posted white stakes at each Wash denoting the number of that Wash.
So, one way or another, you will know where Wash16 is located. Our group will be to the right (i.e. West) after the Wash 16, before Wash 17 and it will be large. Depending upon when you are arriving, there will be a ASA banner like the one in the below picture. You can also look for our group with a bunch of ASA Flags (on bikes, and on RV flag-poles).

Pics from 2009 ASA Dune Trip.
