you don't want to go to glamis on a big weekend if your intention is to get some good riding in....  been there to many times...  got to be an off weekend ,,, trust me been doing glamis gordons for 10 years now,,,

I somewhat agree with Richard about big weekends especially Thanksgiving. It is a very busy place that time and riding that time during Thanksgiving you will and must be on your toes one bad turn and your either being hit by another quad or being run over by a 500HP sand rail . I have been going to Glamis and attending Thanksgiving weekend for over 30 years and I love it there during big weekends especially Thanksgiving. It is like you are at a rolling museum there, everything with a motor you see there not to mention all the older and newer stuff and something always going on there.
 But I do miss Glamis when it was late 80's and early 90's nothing came close to having fun then those few years it was the best. It is so different now especially with rules and regulations while before it was everyone policed each other and most had respect for others, everyone helping each other out, and strangers pulling up next to you and enjoying a few beers with conversation!
 But it is fun but also very dangerous.

January 23-25? Glamis? Washes/Gecko? I'm down, I'll pick you up on the way Chris and AJ.

I vote for Oregon!  

I'd love to get back to Sand Mountain / Little Sahara, Utah.  Besides Oregon, that's my favorite riding area.  Glamis was cool but didn't really do it for me.

Some of us at Silver were taking about Oregon. Higgy was pumping us to come. We were talking next year. Maybe even Little Sahara in March when it's still freezing here. I am going to look into a rig that can haul from coast to coast is strategic pick up points to get all the quads and gear out there. Then just fly there and spend our precious time tearing up some sand. and drinking...

A lot of it will also depend on the time of year.  Glamis is great in the winter, just an absolute nightmare in the summer.  St. Anthony is probably the opposite, a little hot but not unbearable in the summer, too cold in the winter.  Sand Mountain is too small, but if that WAS a consideration, it's too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter, it would be spring or fall.  I imagine same with Oregon.

Agreed.  Sand Mountain, NV is very small.  The Utah one is awesome but can be iffy weather-wise in March.  Oregon has some nice riding days in the late fall through early spring but it's usually a last minute trip (i.e. would never plan to go riding a month ahead and expect better than fair weather conditions).

[D Bergstrom]

I vote for Coral Pink Sand Dunes. Place is awesome. After going there, I have no desire to go to Dumont anymore. Would have to be a fall or spring trip though, to cold in winter, to hot in summer. Well, could do a summer trip, but highs are close to 90 during the day, cools off at night, but can't ride at night.

I've never ridden Oregon dunes, but based on my experiences and time in other areas of Oregon, I could imagine that weather would indeed be a gamble.  For long-term plans and weather possibilities, I would say Glamis is a much better bet, as well as most any of the dunes in the southern-half of the west coast (dumont, pismo, Sand Mountain).  I imagine each of these locations has sunny skies nearly 300 days a year.

I didn't like glamis too much when I went, it was a off weekend and we were harassed by the blm the whole time, stopped at are camp 5 times in a day in a half. I understand loud kids but 5 30 years olds grilling don't need to be checked every 5 hours. My bike won't be fun for more than 5 second in a straight line but I can bring the 4 poke for long rides. I'd say start a poll see which gets the most votes. I'd start one but I not sure how.

[Mickkey82984]

If anyone is in Arizona, I'll be at the cinder hills ohv in flagstaff,AZ for Labor Day weekend. I'll be tuning my saber if Packard can finish my carb in time. I would love to see another r up here, I'm one of the last r's around these parts just bunch of raptors and yfz's can't wait to show them some Hydrid power:)

If anyone is looking to go out west from the Midwest give these people a call. A couple years ago we were trying to get a group ride from another site to go out to Killpecker dunes in WY but it never happened.

Oregon June through October you could bank on it being pretty decent I think spring time March through may can be a gamble.  Sand mountain was cool and so was st Anthony Idaho but you can't beat the oregon dunes never hot never too cold all different kinds of riding and you can ride on the beach I would show up

[xTHUNDERCATx]

Can we get a mod to help out with inserting a pole our would that require a new thread?
