Little Sahara OK In October

[jb2wheels]

Anybody up for a Waynoka trip in October?

I need a dune fix.
I can't gather up a dune crew to go with me (school & work commitments) from Austin TX.
I won't ride alone so I need a riding buddy or even better a group of riding buddies...

I'm thinking Columbus Day since it's a long weekend but just about any October weekend is worth a shot.

Thoughts??

I might be able to make that but I'll have to see. My year long vacation officially ends on Monday when I get rejoin the working stiffs and get back to work. Apparently money only comes from going to work everyday.... Gee, I had it all wrong.

[jb2wheels]

That's great news Jim!

[oile]

I will come down also! I've been thinking about coming down and playing in the sand

[Keith Salyer]

Sounds like fun. I haven't been since Rampage. Also Congratulations Jim.

[jb2wheels]

Outstanding! That's enough to call it a group ride!
Columbus Day weekend is October 11-12 (Sat-Sun).
Does that work?
Campground preference?

[scuba]

Let me check my calender..... yep, im clear for Columbus day weekend. No, wait.... OK, ya.... John, will your dad make it?

[jb2wheels]

Excellent!

Not sure about dad - he's dealing with family stuff in CA right now. I think he's only good for 1 trip a year - sleeping in the van kinda crude...

On a side note, I saw a picture on FB from Little Sahara with a yellow buggy I swear was the Browns' old ride. Can you see this:

[kazander]

We wanna go if Keith dont mind. We will start planning now

[The_Steve_Man]

Lee just make sure you are not camping right next to Keith. I am pretty sure A LOT of that foul mouthed language came from me. :twisted:

[kazander]

Are we looking at south end or north end

[jb2wheels]

Unless you have strong feelings otherwise - how about south again like we did in May?

[kazander]

south end is good with us.

[Keith Salyer]

Lol I think I will leave my bunch behind or get a motel :)

[The_Steve_Man]

I have joined the unemployed. So I don't think I will be able to make it. Congratulaions Jim.

[kazander]

Steve just don"t take as long a vacation as Jim did and you will be ok. Jim are you thinking you will make it?

[Flyingw]

Damn Steve, that sucks!!! File for unemployment

[The_Steve_Man]

Don't worry guys. Its the best thing that could have happened. I started college yesterday and going to have my cnc certification in may. As long as I am a full time student I can draw my unemployment and not have look for work. I have family and friends willing to help me out and support from my wife and kids.
I know I will be off work until may and after that it will be good.
Thanks for the support!

[jb2wheels]

Still sucks but sounds like you're making the best of it.

[jb2wheels]

I will be in the South "Golden Sands" Campground, spot 502 Thursday - Sunday. I reserved it today.

[scuba]

I finally got around to checking out that link for the buggy. It looks like my our buggys, but my brothers car was green in the 70s. My car was in a fence row.... That is a great picture, thanx JB.

[kazander]

we just took spot 501 for then. Probably be just Lisa and I so it should be a little more reserved than it is with all the kids.

[Keith Salyer]

Maybe I should just bring earplugs and a sleeping pill :)

[kazander]

Well John does have the spot next to us so it cant get to bad. But our new camper does have outside speakers.:)

[scuba]

I am packing into the durango, no trailer this trip. I will be staying till monday too.

[kazander]

I will have to leave on sunday as Lisa has to work. On 8-5 Lisa had her SI joint fused and this will be her first ride.

[jb2wheels]

Hey Scuba I'm only bringing the van no trailer if you want to share the spot and the rent. Should be able to fit in there?

If you're staying until Monday I might too - I've been on the fence about it but I have the day off and it should be quiet on the sand.

[The_Steve_Man]

Damn it! Do I race in Sikeston or go to the sand that weekend? Same distance, opposite directions.

[scuba]

Works for me John. My brorher and his boy Dillon will be up on Sunday for one night. So, we will have a hand full of us on Monday. Splitting the rent works for me too.

How about thw sand dumby.....
Think of the people who truly know you.....

SAND!

Unless your racing for $$ or need the points for $$ at the end of the year. No $$ to be made in Waynoka. Well, what you do after dark is your business but ...

[kazander]

and it gets really dark on the dunes when you run without lights

[danbur55]

TMI TMI dont not what to say
and it gets really dark on the dunes when you run without lights

[The_Steve_Man]

Sorry guys. I already made plans to race that weekend. I want to do both.

[kazander]

ok it is time to chime in if you are going to make this ride.

[jb2wheels]

I'm in ;)

Been looking forward to it!

[kazander]

ok me you and lisa can make this a ride.

[scuba]

I am having to back out guys.
I bought a truck and blew my wad on it.
Be and have fun....

[kazander]

i was just fixing to ask if you needed me to bring some xtra parts.

[jb2wheels]

nuts

let's see some pics of the new truck

[kazander]

I just bought me one too and it is going to be pulling my trailer. I hope yours is as good a deal and as good a truck as this one is turning out.

[jb2wheels]

Van is packed except for ice & cold stuff. Almost ready to go.

[kazander]

we are here have already set up and ready

[kazander]

I claim the first wipe out for this ride. Not a bad wreck but getting the bike out of the hole I was in almost ruined my back.

[kazander]

If you have something to get rid of flies in camp it would be great

[kazander]

Park staff is telling me that by Friday they are expecting to see at least 90% capacity in park

[kazander]

So the park staff says by Friday it will be at 90% capacity at least 3000 people

[jb2wheels]

Wow - big weekend - glad I reserved a spot!. I'm driving part way Weds night so I can get some Thursday ride time in before it turns into a zoo.

Don't know what to do about the flies...

[kazander]

No wind, dunes are still rough. Did not ride at all today trying to give my back a rest after digging my r out of the pond yesterday

[scuba]

JB, I hope you still have space for a truck and small trailer.

[jb2wheels]

Hell yes! We'll make it fit. We put the F250 and the Stalker Van and a Uhaul 5x8 in one of these slots last year.

this is after we drug it out of the water.

[The_Steve_Man]

You can't water skip with trees in the way.

[jb2wheels]

Had a great time last weekend even with rough dunes and a little rain. Dunes dried out and smoothed out some Sunday afternoon so I got home later than planned...
