Awesome.

 

[Bpracing1127]

Same not a veteran, missed last year due to a broken car but have been going every year since it started.

Fwiw, they don’t charge that weekend for permits.

 

[rivermobster]

I remember when it was just a handful of us, changing out the flag with Pastor and Slappy.

No one could have guessed this event would become what it has.

Hats off to Brian for keeping it an Awesome event!

If you guys can afford to donate, please do!

[Hammer]

We are thinking about heading out for veterans. Will update this thread as we get closer.

 

[Bowtiepower00]

I won’t be able to make it for Veterans, but plan on being there the following weekend in Wash 15.

 

[69hondo]

Two weeks

 

[Jonas Grumby]

I’m going, and do others agree no permit needed? Or is that only for vets?

For Veterans Day weekend they don’t require permits. Only weekend of the year. It’s a federal thing.

 

[Bpracing1127]

I’ll be there with @cakemoto

Veteran's day is actually Saturday the 11th and that's the day of the event at the flagpole...

 

[badgas]

Always a great day getting out to honor those who have served.

I have not been to Glamis since the vets ceremony in 2019

My son is getting married 11/11 so maybe next year.

 

[69hondo]

A week out.

 

[Dunerking]

Heading down tomorrow and running with some friends for the weekend!
Then another group is going for Vets and may go back to back weekends!
My son is stoked to run on his bike!

So looks like this will be our 1st glamis trip with the RZR. Haven’t been in a few years so really looking forward to it. Especially the ceremony wife and her sister want to go to honor their dad.

Bent tissues they will be tears, it can be very moving seeing the patriotism.

I get goosebumps even thinking about it.

Yeah we went about 10yrs ago and I’ve heard it’s only gotten better/bigger. now throw in my wife and how easy she gets emotional I’m sure lots of tissues will be used.

4-5 miles

 

[Bpracing1127]

Weather is shaping up to be awesome

 

[Dunerking]

Just got home from G and it was very nice! Shorts and T-shirts until 10pm and even longer while next to the fire. Dunes were excellent after a blow after Halloween! Put a 127 miles on the Wildcat XX from Friday night to Sunday morning. Would be headed back down for Vets weekend but kid sports are going to interfere that plan.

 

[TPC]

Wife going in for surgery, be down for a week+ helping her. Pass just arrived in the mail too.

Maybe Thanksgiving at Dumont go in the back way.

 

[wallnutz]

Packing up today to head out tomorrow or very first thing in the morning Thursday. Weather looks great!

 

[69hondo]

I am hoping to leave mid day Thursday.

I hope you guys have someone saving you space. I was there last weekend it was full and people were rolling in Sunday to take open spots. I left my stuff with a buddy staying all week and will be back out Wednesday.

Yeah have a couple guys out there now. We were supposed to go last Thursday then come home Monday afternoon and go back tomorrow, but this BS called work screwed up our plans. They said it is getting pretty busy.

Holy shit that's awesome!

Is anyone making these shirts???

 

[Boatymcboatface]

Looks like our group has a spot on one of the pads. I actually prefer the washes now with kids. But back in the 80s gecko was the shit you could show up anytime and get a spot no problem!!

 

[Bpracing1127]

leaving noon thursday too, i think we are in the washes?

 

[jailbird141]

Gecko road is already beyond packed!! I suspect there will be a lot of Dumont peeps in Glamis this season.

That'll make Dumont nice this year for those that choose to enter the long way in.
Still will be lots of Vegas Duners.

We're heading to Spangler for Thanksgiving and Maynard will be joining us.

Thinking of possibly taking a day trip to Glamis on Saturday just my son and I in the truck to check it out. I havent been there in years, can you still make it to Olds in a truck without much issue?
