Hey Friends!!
The Leppeks are planning to arrive wed. morning. We have a friend (Ray) who is there already & we asked him to "save" a large area for our group. Turn in right at wash 13 and go to the right. He has a 4 door dark gray dodge truck with a 30 ft. weekend warrior hitch trailer & he has a b/w checkered flag with a blue light on top of his pole. The trailer has alot of stickers on the outside of the back ramp door. His rig is in the background of this picture.

THANKSGIVING TRIP PLANS

Ok well it looks like the group is a little split up this year i will be heading out to glamis with shrameks,copelands,salsburys and dave and tina. These are the only ones ive talked to and confirmed with. We will be camping somewhere between wash 10 and 14 depending on how full it is when we get there. I will be heading out on wed morning and arriving in glamis around 10am to put up the sweed flag. Shrameks will be right behind me so i should be first to arrive and find a good spot. I will call the aforementioned people to give exact location once we find it. If you are planning on coming with us please call me or post a comment so i know to call you to give exact location. If anyone will be there before me to find a spot let me know where you are so i can find you. For those of you going somewhere else put up a post and maybe other people with your same destination can find you be safe and have fun, see ya.

Another note we will be having thanksgiving dinner potluck so bring a dish. Please post a comment as to what you are bringing to the feast so we dont duplicate. I dont think we need 5 turkeys so whos bringing one or something else.

Halloween Ride

Are you up for Ocotillo @ Halloween week-end 10/31 - 11/02?

Suggestions of camping at Pole-Line Road has come up. Fun riding over there but one concern is that pole-line road attracts riders in and around camp with dust and noise 24/7. //amen brother said TM

If you like changing campsite; how does next to the airfield sound to ya? Lots of fun riding there as well and close to all classic destinations including pole-line. Let me know what you think!.

Let's meet up for a ride to pumpkin patch this Halloweeeeeeen!!!!

P.s. Where the hell is the Iron Door?

how do you see life

A friend of mine sent me this quote" Lot's of time in life, might as well use some of it for fun, and the rest for money" pretty good perspective eh?

directions to niland

there are 2 ways you can go from the hwy 8 see above map i understand from dale the road is a little nicer this way but may take a little longer to come down the 8 for direction from the 10 fwy see directions and map below you can click on image for larger view

To get there take 60 Fwy/I-10 east to 111/86 south. Stay on 111 after the highways split. Best place to top off your gas tank(s) is at the ARCO near the split. Continue along the Salton Sea to Niland.then ref to map above

the gps coordinates are lat 33.07.38.23 n

lon 115.16.35.44 w
