I went ahead and locked the previous topic (http://ridingarizona.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=6967) as to not confuse anyone:(.

This is the official "Roll Call" for Nov 7,8,9 at Buttercup/Midway:D. All planning on attending please post an "I", "WE or an "US" so that we can try to secure the correct amount of space, in an effort to keep the group all in the same area[:0]. Thanx for your support, We hope to see you out there.[:p]




O.K. Members we are going out to Midway Nov.7,8,9 for a ton of dunes fun. There will be Hill racing, big bowling, site seeing, and lots of campfire fun.

Fri.- Arrival during the day. camp set-up and general riding. Test at night.

Sat.- Long ride sight seeing, this will be about a 70 mile round trip. We will be able to get gas at the Glamis store. Ride will include such attractions as Patton valley, Camp Ogilby, China Wall, Olds Hill, Glamis Comp, Osbourne overlook, and finishing up at the Sand Drags. Test at Night

Sun.-General riding maybe a trip to the Mexican Blow Hole.

If this looks like an interest to you. Let us know if you'll be attending. This is not a Riding Arizona event. You will be responsible for compliance with all rules and regulations pertaining to the ISDRA. (See Sand box section for these rules and regs).

Bring every thing you need to sustain yourselves and for three days two nights.

(If you'd like to do Saturdays long ride(70 miles), Be sure to bring some extra money for lunch and gas at the Glamis Beach store; I'll try to have an idea of gas prices at the store before we leave. If your bike requires specialty fuel i suggest you buy any additive you may need before getting out to the dunes. i.e. Octane buster,2-stroke oils)

DD,

You sure you want to do the Moosetinis at Buttercup? I'd rather save it for Turkey Week and hear you sing some Tiny Tim or Kermit the Frog:D

Let me know! I'll bring the fixins' both trips if you want. Then again, after Buttercup, you may not want Moosetinis!! Glenn's suggesting my famous "cocoa's" for the Buttercup trip.

He also wants Shannon to know he can't mount his GPS on the new Foreman till he gets his new RAM Mount:(

See you next weekend!

Moose...We could provide you with a healthy balance of dune instruction. My expertise definately resides more with actual riding;)...while Suzi does her share of riding, she is a pro when it comes to finding the cool hang out spots to grab a drink;):D. I'm up fer both!! I do love bowling so anyone up for taking this chick on a bowling adventure (and I don't mean the kind with a ball in an alley[^]) please let me know. I will not lead as I suck at that...I do make a competetive follower though. My bike was serviced this summer and is feeling good...can't wait to try her out!!!

Well I think we might try this sand thing if you all don't mind. We had plans for stoneman this coming weekend and since they recieved some snow this morning (it didnt stick around) we have come to the conclusion that it most likely is COLD.... Sooo since you all seem to promise a good time and if our sportsman won't look to out of place, we want to meet you all. Is there anything we need to be prepared for, or special that we need to bring along? Can someone shoot me the directions and anything we need to look out for.

Directions to Butterup/Midway:

Take I 8 west past Yuma to Grays Well exit. The exit will curve south then west. Stop at pay station to purchase permit, then go straight about 2 miles and turn left at Midway camp area. We'll be there somewhere. Look for the RA logo.

So if you need something and want to avoid shipping charges, order up. Be sure to select Do NOT Ship - Pickup At Event as the shipping option.

We see a vareity of bikes out there and many of the utilities do very well. So, come out and experience the soft sand!!! Just lower the air pressure in your tires and start on the smaller hills. YOu may get stuck a couple of times, but, getting unstuck isn't too hard...ask me...I get stuck a lot!!! If you're climbing a hill and start to lose power, just give it gas and turn around. there is a lot of flatter area to ride around in Buttercup...you can ride all the way to Mexico...which isn't very far:)

Bring the family, relax, have fun and bring fire wood!!!

After talking with The Moose I have to go...We have Malamutes to discuss:) I will be pulling a Pro-trac trailer with a Silver Dodge Quad cab. Plan to arrive Friday mid morning if others are going to be there. Looks like from what I have read that the group is meeting along the paved Mid-way camp area - How far down the road ? The area where the road starts up the hill or up & over ?
Anyone else riding a dirt bike ? I will have a quad & a bike if anyone else is riding bikes.
Looking very forward to meeting some of the faces behind the names.

Need Help!!!!!!!


I stripped wifeys front lugs[xx(]:( (Polaris Scrambler 500).

If anyone can get thier hand on 8 lugs and bring them out we'd be much appreciative. If not no big deal she just wont have front sand tires.

Thanx

IMPORTANT!!!

Just received a call from Suzy, Shannon, Jack & Jackie

(Teri, Bunk just pulled in so he is safe too...)

Midway is full. They gave me the following directions:

Exit Gray's Well, go up and around the freeway so that you are heading west. Stop at the pay station and give them the money. Go down the curvy road and keep going straight over the big hill. Go past the block restrooms and you should see the signs for RA about 200 yards past the potties. This is verbatem, so don't blame 'The Moose', they just asked me to post it. Jack's cell #(480)220-9141.

Also, Jack needs 8 lug nuts for a Polaris 2002 Scrambler 400 front tires. He thinks they are 7/16 or 9/16. If anyone could help him out, I'm sure he'll kiss your feet....

A to Z rentals on east Indian School and Antelers RV both rent pop-up trailers. Pretty reasonable prices if you don't feel like springing for a motorhome. A to Z has them for $60.00 per day last time I checked.

Mark....It was great to meet you and the boys this past weekend. Nice young men you brought along with you. You and Mark's parents should be proud.

[:p]Got them shoes re-set up in the yard right now. I'm your Huckleberry:D

What a great trip it was!! Saw old friends and met some new. AND I MADE IT UP CONSTIPATION HILL ON MY FIRST TRY!!!! Don't think I wasn't stoked about that!! Thank you Jackie for showing me how, and a BIG thank you to Steve for getting me unstuck when I got spooked. I think I was up to my knees in the sand and I would have never been able to turn that quad around by myself.

Yes, Jack, we did have a WONDERFUL time, didn't we[?][:I] I was actually surprised your lug/nuts weren't quite as big as I was expecting.

Kind of like Comp Hill. More bark than bite....:)

I didn't realize I had to share with Bunk this weekend. :(
