I could have went many times in the past. My son grew up going there early on with his Mom and step Dad. I was more the boater and harley guy. My grandsons know how to use a clutch so its all good. I just never felt the need.If you went with myself or Larry, I'm pretty sure you'd have a good time.
You'd miss Olds, the drags, Gecko and the lower washes. But you'll get to see what the fuss is Really all about.
I’ve seen video of guys skipping 600+ feet... technically might be doable across parts of Parker. Buy me a SXS and I’ll try it
I’m not driving a 45,000 pound rig into the sand at the washes.
ooooofffffffff
600 ft of 3 inch deep water. I actually do have the video of my friend doing it!
Some day, when you're F150 grows up and turns into a Real truck, youll be able to get to Spinreel, Winchester Bay, Choke Cherry and places like that.
Till then, Keep watching those videos and dreaming!
I met Lance through a good buddy of his in our group. He and his wife are very hospital people.Now I dont claim to know him well at all, but we were invited to camp there a few times a couple of years ago, once for Thanksgiving.So you're friends with Lance eh?
Gonna stop by there and visit with Doug on the way home from Parker. Maybe they will give me a job!
Great... more BLM “proactive patrols” in glamis LOL
It's baffling to me that gecko is already filling up for Halloween. That's awesome you can be there so long at a time.
That’s what I was thinking!NOW!! that would be worth bringing the E-Z Up a nice Lawn Chair and A Cooler to watch. Then better yet be there when Mr. "BIG" shows up to his empty Space.
this is a if they get an inch they'll take a mile... one day they are towing diesel pushers.... next they will be taking easy ups from the channel.....
it's the A-holes from AZ moving to cal trying to change all the rulesSome new leadership in the local BLM office and they are taking note that ghost camping has become a real problem. Word is they'll be nice with signs and education for a little while, but towing rigs if necessary is definitely on the table.
I hope nobody here is enough of an asshole to do this, but if you are, you can eat a bag of dicks and I hope you get your rig towed...or worse.
Wrong analogy, think of it as people parking in Windsor parking lot but taking 4 spaces instead of 1. Thus sending everyone to the dirt launch ramp on the island.
hey Joe?If you went with myself or Larry, I'm pretty sure you'd have a good time.
You'd miss Olds, the drags, Gecko and the lower washes. But you'll get to see what the fuss is Really all about.
Off the canal “road”?
You'll be fine just like every other rig stay out of the soft stuff.
You will make it easily. Just don’t go to deep in the wash. The further you get into the washes say 15+ the softer the sand gets in the wash too. Be ready for the train!! Toot toot
You just need a scout in a 4wd to lead you. I get us spots all the way in the back of the wash against the dunes and guide the heavys through a prerun route from wash rd. Not hard, just be smart
Haha
Yep.
No off gecko actually. We go in about 3/4 mile been going there for the last 12 years same spot every holiday weekend or whenever we go. Last year only made it there once but back at it again
Yep.
Wash=silt
Silt=dust.
While I appreciate their trying to keep glass out, can someone explain why the Glamis store has a giant rack of wine in bottles?
but I get the appeal. When you camp in the washes with a big car you have to go through a lot of smaller dunes to get to any good dunes. There is pros and cons to both.
I can grab my chair and ice chest walk a few 100 feet to a dune sit on top of a dune and watch the kids ride around on the small dunes while the sun goes down.
