going to glamis 7mar08 to 16mar08 need more riders

[preacher250r]

we've set the dates for our trip to glamis in 2008. The semi arrives at wash 10, glamis fri 7 mar. leaves sat 15 mar. Last year it cost $270 per vehicle (quad or bike), with 37 people (30 Q 7 if we get the same number of people, the price will be $290 maybe $280. If less than 37 people price goes up accordingly. We load the semi in cleveland the sunday before arrival date so that would be 10am 2mar08. We unload on sunday a week after leaving glamis, that would be 10am 23 mar08. I’m trying to retrieve my pictures that I only had stored on my computer, but are now gone, to post, if not I got other guys on the way. I’m flying pit 6am to Yuma 1:15pm fri 7mar08, returning sun 16mar08 yum 6:30am-pit 3:43pm for $280. I’m renting a suv for the entire period for $630. Whatever, however anyone else gets there is up to them. Those are just prices for what I’m personally doing. Most guys go from cle or cak to San Diego, others to Las Vegas, still others to phoenix. Some rent weekend warriors in phoenix and drive to other ride areas during the week. I drive to San Bernardino mid-week snow skiing at big bear. Others go to Mexico for a day or night with the senoritas. I bring a tent to sleep in, others rent fifth wheel mobile homes out there, delivered to our site for around $1200 depending on size. We had 5 of those last year. We’ve been doing this for 7 years semi, and driving before that. As usual we only have 18 guys mid December, but we’ve always had close to that number and fill up after Christmas/new year.

It’s a great time. Load in cleveland, fly out, drive from whichever airport buying food, pop, beer, etc on the way, ride by fri afternoon/eve., reload a week later on sat morning, head to airport and fly out. Some guys like me fly out Sunday and spend the night at a hotel or casino.

PM Preacher250r or post here for any questions you have.

update on glamis 7mar08 to 16mar08.

right now semi hauling our gear is $480.

each additional person we get drops the price @ $25 each. there's 2 that are really trying to come aboard - about 60-70% possible, and 2-3 more 30 % possible.

right now 9:30am monday 25mar08 plane tickets are $195 from canton-akron to yuma, arizona (1 hour from dunes). i paid $280 in december from pitt, and kieth paid $390 in january for the exact same flight from cak. i'm arriving and departing yuma same time as the $195 flight and can transport you to & from glamis as i'm renting a suv at airport, and george is geting mini-van.


anybody want to ride glamis the end of next week post, pm or email preacher250r.

Guys never miss an opportunity like this. Glamis is a special place riding is awesome and weather is nice this time a year. Wiss I could make it. This is a great group also as I have been on a trip with them before. Preacher is definitely good peeps.

Preacher good stuff. Great to see someone doing a trip like us and notn trying to make tons fo $$$. We rent a budget truck and leave on the other side of dunes for fuel up with our 5 gal gas cans and also buy 100 gallons of fuel for generators and with 28 guys its usually about 500 - 550 a person. We also buy 3 pallets fo firewood etc. our site for the trip from NY is www.glamistrips.com Maybe plan a trip at the same time next year our trailer and yours.

Doc, Glad to see your back around. I told Howie and Chris to give you our best. You were missed in Glamis Pres. Day!!! - JT

JT,
It was so difficult missing this trip........ Thanks for thinking of me as I appreciate it. All I can think about is fall trip. I am down for another 5 months. I guess I really did a good job.
On the Cleveland group getting it together in Feb instead of Mar that would be great as I miss riding with that group also and 2 spring trips a year is just not in the cards.

Preacher,
JT and East Coast boys showed up in Feb with 100 and 3 trailers full of toys. Really do things right!!!!!
