glamis

[quadpornstar]

A bunch of us are driving from wisconsin to glamis the week before thanksgiving, and staying that week, and the week of thanksgiving. We have a crew cab truck, and a healty trailer with lots of extra room. If anybody want's to ride along, or maybe we can pick you up on the way we would be interested in trying to work something out to try and keep the diesel cost down. Get ahold of me here or email me personally at rpaulsen1@new.rr.com

I'm not trying to be a stickler, but Glamis is not Ogilby. It's in the general area, but thats like calling Gordans Glamis,its close but not the same. So in the original post when he said he was going to Glamis, he isnt.

[desratt]

I found ogilby on the map.

I have friends who ride all the way froms glamis to gordons and back anyone else do this.??

Its an easy ride on a bike...Its ALL the Imperial Sand Dunes.



We usually camp at Olgibly also, its more mellow then the other places. Look for a full aftermarket MX 450R red and black #469, and a Lonestar Hyrbid, blue and white, on Thanksgiving weekend..We are goin to Glamis Halloween if anyone else is going.

[cjkranz]

What days are you guys stopping by Waynoka? We are leaving from Kansas for the Imperial Sand Dunes on the 15th of November. Maybe we will see you on the road down.

[ckasper18]

We are leaving on Thursday night or friday morning the 11th or 12th and as far as the guy saying ogilby is not glamis that all depends what kind of riding you do we are not affraid to head in that direction because we will be there riding several times that week after camping at glamis the first year i went 6 years ago i was minding my own bussiness when two sites down some dude looked at his ugly girlfriend and did bot like it and pulled a gun and fired a few shots and the next thing i know is several other campers came over and beat the crap out of the guy took his gun thank god and beat him like he probably got beat before he was taken to the hospital and then went to jail.The campsite on the other side of mine quad got stolen the same night that when i decided to camp at ogilby great friendly people and not all drunk idiots.
I ride a houser crf 450 with red fullbore plastic with fox shix and a trx450r and my daughter rides a trx400ex with long travel suspension hope to see you all there...............Chris

how long of a drive is for you guys

[quadpornstar]

its a retarded long drive. on the way to glamis, we stop at little sahara and ride for a day or two. then we drive the rest of the way to glamis. I guess on the way back it takes something like 30 hours or there abouts to get back

[desratt]

I'm getting jd fabrication long travel suspension on my truck in the next couple weeks too

[TC440EX]

Will be at Glamis this weekend. Oct 20-24. Look for the rebel flag at pad 2. Dune Safe!

[ckasper18]

From Appleton to glamis is 2500 miles

It doesn't depend on anything, its just not.;) You should of started the thread with "I'm going to Ogilby", I know people won't recognize it as much if you say Glamis, but at least your not wrong :)

[quadpornstar]

we are camping at ogilby road, and we will be riding everywhere. and as long as we are all riding, and doing what we all love to do, what's the difference??

[250r4life]

i didnt think anything of it... i imagine hardly anybody that hasnt been there has heard of gordons well or buttercup or ogilby, but most duners have heard of glamis... i see why you did it... from i understand youre gunna camp on ogliby right off the 8 right? thats actually closest to gordons well, but... i was actually at glamis this past weekend and that was fun, and i might go to buttercup this weekend, and im definately going to gordons well halloween weekend...

in my opinion a man who drives from the other side of the country to go to Glamis should be held in the highest respect and should not be questioned... im seriously impressed and have a great admiration for your love of the dunes- i share in it...

[ckasper18]

What part of that dont you get we will be riding glamis several days we will be there for 12 days we just prefer to camp at ogilby and not glamis.Why dont you come meet up with us and see how fast your 400ex is or if it can keep up my daughter will give you a run for your money on her very nice 400ex or should i say416ex or 440ex depends which motor i put in it if i were to post everything done to her quad you would be disappointed in your own we are not wrong we will be at glamis and several other places as well like test hill oldsmobile hill gecko road just to name a few.You have a great day hope to see you there..........Chris

:) :)

[250r4life]

i repeat- any man who drives from wisonsin to glamis should be held only in the highest regard. I feel like Christ with the Centurion - never have i seen such great faith, no, not in all of israel :) and putting together the facts that this man has such dedication and love for the dunes, as does his daughter, makes me think they would make an awesome father-in-law/wife combo :) i just happen to be single :D

Heading out to Glamis Thanksgiving weekend as well. Will be a first time for me and I just bought a TRX450r so have to break it in before then. I believe the plan is to camp off of Gecko Road(?), how crazy does this place get? Looking at Google Earth it looks as if quite a few people go there. Can you camp anywhere or are there established sites? Is there cell signal down there around the campsite? We may have family joining us and would like to have contact with them if possible. Appreciate all the help from the veterans here.

[250r4life]

my cell phone works fine at gecko

VERY CRAZY!!!! There are designated sights. You just pick a wash and then set up camp. I was just there this Halloween Weekend and it was awsome. Tons of people. Its like nothing you have ever seen. Go to oldmobile at night. Have fun BE SAFE WATCH WHERE YOU ARE RIDEING.

[250r4life]

no, he said he is parking at gecko, not in the washes... my experience is that gecko is a little more chiled, and you dont have the idiots doing 90mph so close to your truck like you do in the washes... at gecko you park right off the road... they have numbers on the ground on the road going into and they call them pad 1,2,3 etc... or you can just look at your trip and tell your fam like that... my cell works great over by gecko but is hit and miss at the washes... yah glamis can be pretty crazy- a lot of stupid people. i prefer gordons well myself... are you guys going with anybody who has gone before?

[Xjman1]

Thanks for the info, fellas. Will be out there with some folks that have been there a couple of times. Looks like now work is giving me a hard time about getting Friday off so may only have a 2 day event. :mad: Makes it worse that everyone out here is good with it but the office back East is kinking the plan. :grr:

[ckasper18]

We will be riding Gecko road one or two days but we camp at Ogilby its a 15 minute ride from Girdens well which we ride over that way every day.There both nice places to camp we just prefer to camp at Ogilby less crazy drunk people riding over there hope to see you there have a great time we always do this is my sixth trip to glamis from wisconsin...Chris

[Xjman1]

How sensative are they to noise control and spark arrestors in Glamis? Reason I ask is my White Brother Aluminum Pro I just arrived and I was going to sell it but may just save it for those middle of nowhere runs, such as the dunes. Too damn nice to part with so easily.

[trayscool]

wow you guys are awesome for driving from WI thats nuts. I hate making the 4 hour drive to glamis haha! good luck and be safe glamis is like nothing else in the country i bet on that

[250r4life]

they are not sensitive at all to noise or spark arrestors... a lot of the drag banshees use the drag pipes with no silencor at all...

[TRX370R]

We will be making a trip to Glamis over Thanksgiving weekend as well. This will be the 5th yearin a row going on Thanksgiving weekend and I wouldn't miss it. Usually we camp about 1/2 of a mile before the vendors. Stop by and have a beer if you see the camp.

[TRX370R]

Tow rig should look like this along with a lifted green chevy with a huge Got Sand? sticker on the back of it

Nice tow rig!!! My buddy will be there with his F2fity and toy hauler, I will be in a Red Jeep towing a pop up tent. Not sure where exactly we will be, other than Gecko Road from the sound of it.

[ckasper18]

Got all my stuff packed yesterday and will be leaving thursday around supper time for our 36 hour trip to Glamis.We are stopping by Little Sahara for one day and should be at Glamis sunday night will be hanging for two weeks yea baby ....Chris

[Xjman1]

Have fun in Little Sahara and a safe trip out here. See ya at the dunes!!

[ckasper18]

Our 16 day journey is now over the dunes were faboulas and had a awesome good time.Little Sahara was a great stop before heading to Glamis.Glamis was incredable like always this was my sixth trip and looking forward to next year.14 days of sun and in the lower 80 degree weather back home it was in the 0 degree and crappy why did i come home i should have stayed in Glamis. Nothing real major except a bent steering stem bearing carrier broken motor mounts and a rear sprocket thank god i bring half the honda shop with me not bad for six quads ..Chris

[SAND LUVR]

yeah glamis is fun. I was there thanksgiving weekend. This time we camped out in the washes. I prefer gecko rd. Anyways nothing broke so it was a good weekend.
