- Glamis Trip
February 16, 2007
Arrived at Glamis, Wash 25, at around 9:30 PM and find it just to our liking, not crowded whatsoever. All the Washes coming into Wash 25 were PACKED! Junhkes show up at about 10 PM and proceeded to get STUCK! We work til about 1 AM trying to pull him out to no avail. Wombles show up at about 1 PM the following day and together with Larry's Truck and mine, we pull out Kevin and get him relocated to a safer area.
The Junhkes and Bakers take a few short rides out to Lizard Hill and other points in between Saturday morning, it was a bit windy but not enough to keep us off the dunes. Later that day, the Wombles, Junhkes, and Bakers take a ride out to Lizard Hill and China Wall and everything in between. Riding was EXCELLENT! No wind and pristine sand! Coming back to camp from China, I launch myself over a small (mole) hill and wrenched my back, I was done riding for the weekend. Got back to camp and met John and his brother and had a great chat. We both decided that good times would be had on the March 3rd trip.
Sunday was again, a beautiful day, too bad for me I had to sit in camp while everyone else took a nice long ride to Gecko and back. The Bakers pull out at about 2 PM and head home leaving Wombles and Junhkes behind to enjoy the remaining weekend.
Bad news comes on Prez's day. Don't have all the details but in a Monday ride Larry launches himself over the handle bars and possibly breaks his collarbone? Sorry to hear that. Larry, if you read this I hope you're doing okay and that your season isn't over yet. That's it for now, until our next trip.
