Don't be a nay-sayer. :D Halloween can't be any worse than any other holiday there so I am not worried about it. :hammer2:

Not naying it at all, just suggesting a good dust mask unless there's a rain shower to keep it down.
A few times driving home from Glamis it looked like there was a tornado in Ocotillo there was so much dust flying....
Good times for all.............

We took the bikes out to Johnson Valley (BFE) last sunday and had a blast. There are a couple high/steep dunes to play on and plenty of desert riding. Too bad I did not bring the camera, there were some awesome shots to be taken. It was nice also b/c it had rained earlier in the week so the dust was at a minimum
We have a big group going out to Ocotillo of of Cahuilla this weekend but we have a couple parties to go to so we wont be there.
We are going to Glamis the weekend AFTER Halloween so if anyone else will be there lets get a group together. Jason and Linda you NEED to play in the sand sometime, Git Er Done.
The new bike rips ! CRF450X

I went there for the first time last weekend and the bomb craters are all full of water. and the lakebed is a shallow lake off of Means rd (sp)The dunes were awesome b/c they were still wet about 6" down.
Takes a while to get out there from my house though,I would camp overnight next time if I could.

We'll be there this weekend with a large group of friends. Leaving Thursday night and will be there through Sunday. It's all about riding hard pack for us right now also. We'll be switching over to the sand come December.
Where are you camping? We are camping at the North end, by the S22.

We dont normally go that deep out there, but D-37 is racing up near Camp rock, so were going a little further out.
Beside's the sand is kind of fun. :)

Yes it is. We are going to be just South East of Truck Haven, on the South side of the S-22. Maybe will run into you out at Shell Reef or Pumpkin Patch, and have a cold one. Unfortunately none of our bikes stick out. I could tell you to look for a bunch of CRF 450's, but that doesn't do any good :D

I thought you said you were going somewhere else this weekend????? :confused:
We are planning on camping off Cahuilla just past Hidden Valley but I just read on another forum that there is some huge group party thing going on there, like 300 people or something. I am guessing if we don't camp where we normally do, we would just keep going on Cahuilla, just a little further than normal.
Maybe we will see you at Pumpkin Patch. I have a yellow honda 400 and my husband has a blue Yamaha Yfz450. Just look for the good looking people. hahahhahaha :D

300 people! Damn! We usually do camp further out off Cahuilla... Cahuilla and Gas Dome on the right side... it's a great area! But we are camping somewhere else this weekend... off the S22 which is the north side of Ocotillo Wells. So we'll still be able to cover the usual territory :D I'm sure we will do our usual runs to the Pumpkin Patch and Mud Pots... if you happen to see a Black & Red Honda quad w/o stickers, a white yamaha blaster, lots of CRF 450's a blue YZF I think, a blue buggy, a red buggy it's probably us... along w/ two banshee's. We will probably camp off Pole Line Rd for Veterans weekend I think. I'm so ready to get out there! Should be nice weather!

If you are heading out the 79 south it will take you about an hour and a half or less.
Take the 79 south
Just after Warner Springs will be the S2
Go left (east) on the S2 until you get to the 78 (S2 dead ends into the 78)
Make a left on the 78 and go through the hills, just stay on this road until you get to the large gathering of motorhomes and dirt bikes.
You are there, Have fun.
