***No Coast meeting in Little Sahara 7-9 October 2011

[Hedrock]

Well... It looks like we are really going this time. The camp grounds are all full so we may have to stay at the Holiday Inn Express . Guess we'll see around mid-night when we get there.

[Devastator]

yeah, everybody but leatherneck...... but i did hear he might be rollin' thru oklahoma on I-40......

Maybe I could hitch a ride if he's going that far East.....
My sandrail isn't dune worthy right now, but I'm a pretty good passenger.
Do any of you ever make it over to the Imperial Sand Dunes, (Glamis area)?

[seabeebuggy]

I go to glamis. I want to go this Christmas. Who knows if I will.

[Devastator]

Technically, I go to the other end of the dunes at Ogilby road. At least someone else here goes to real dunes.

[seabeebuggy]

There a few others who go but many like anza. I don't like dust.

[SANDDUDE]

Technically, I go to the other end of the dunes at Ogilby road. At least someone else here goes to real dunes.

I went in '09... here's a pic of me riding up China Wall & parked at the flag pole.

Also we hit The Cinders in your state on the way back home.

Here's a pic before & after I made it to the top of $100 Hill.

[seabeebuggy]

Just got back home. What a trip! Way too much fun. Sand dude kept things happening. Car ran great. Almost ate another tree. Got stuck.

[bajaherbie]

the weather was perfect but the sand was pretty rough the whole time.... burned a bunch of firewood at night but no vw cases. here is a good photo of sanddude, the rest of the time i think he wore his overalls.....



a photo of seabee in action, he won the long distance award with a drive of over 7 hours i think. his son matthew (7) had a great time playing with the kids in the next campsite. we really had a good spot, fairly close to the gate and pretty quiet at night.



a shot of my car.... the new front end worked good, but i need a good steering dampener on the saco rack for sure. before i have always run a stock vw steering box , i like the steering ratio of the saco, it works much better in the trails now. might toss some rear disc brakes on it this winter and sell the thing drums.



i also found a spot to disperse some of the ashes of my good friend jeff walker...RIP jeff, i know little sahara was your favorite destination. GAS ON, Jeff!!!!

[turboblue]

That was pretty cool of you Scott.

[bajaherbie]

turbo, the electronic points worked like a charm!

[Leatherneck]

Anymore pics? Scott come out west (after I get mine running) and we will try out how well that new rack turns. Drag Hedrock with ya

[seabeebuggy]

I will be at Glamis the week before or after Christmas.

[CentralWAbaja]

Obviously Hedrock must have broke something while the car was on still on the trailer....And here I thought he actually got it dirty.

Where are the pics?
