Crawdaddy 96 Posted January 11, 2008 I'm heading out to Superstition again on the 18th-20th with Kathy, her son Evan, and (X) # of my kids (I never who which ones will step up and go until the day before).......a few other family friends will be there as well.....any/all are welcome to stop by or join us/camp with us for a weekend of family fun playing around in the area..... We'll be in the same general area that we camped at a few weeks ago.....Probably won't get out there til ~9-10pm on Friday night........I attached the directions to our camping area: Chris_Superstition_directions.doc Should be pretty easy to find us....zero out the trip meter in your truck when you turn onto Wheeler Road......head out about ~8.5 miles (the road bends to the right after about 7 miles) and hang a left........we'll be in that general vicinity set up against a long dune wall (see photo below) Blue Dodge Ram 2500 license plate CRAWDDY pulling white Layton Rampage Toybox: Look for 2 Suzuki LTZ400 quads and one or two KTM's out front: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ride-Orange 2 Posted January 11, 2008 There's a race on Sunday staging out of The Dip, the sponsoring club is Full Throttle. Watch-out for course markers and racers on Sunday I may come race (that is.. ride in the race ) depending on how the 'ol back is feeling next weekend :aggressive: , but we won't be camping...

Spaugh 1 Posted January 14, 2008 have fun and be careful. I was there on saturday and the dunes have changed quite a bit from the wind. REALLY thick sand and lots of steep drop offs on the dunes that normally are more rolling hills. I almost went flying off a few dune cliffs so be warned.

If it's REALLY thick I'll just play quad-tard games with the kiddo's.....blew this shot up into a 20" by 30" poster for the boys bedroom.....looks pretty snazzy.....

Crawdaddy 96 Posted January 16, 2008 Found this map of the Superstition Area on the internet for anyone unfamiliar with the area.....we'll be camped in the south/east corner of the map in the open area below the entry to the "Rabbits Foot" trail/course (route #2 of Jeep event which is also being held this weekend) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crawdaddy 96 Posted January 18, 2008 Tom/Roger/etc. - Sounds good........I'll be out there Friday night through late Sunday afternoon......we'll be camped near the dunes but not "in" the dunes......as noted on the map I posted, about 8.5 miles down Wheeler, hang a left, and look for the rig/bikes/quads noted in earlier posts.....there will probably also be an orange buggy in the camp on Saturday/Sunday.......

We'll be staying at a hotel in Imperial and riding Saturday morning after dropping my wife off at her father's house on Saturday morning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DigDug 0 Posted January 18, 2008 Mickey and I are "grounded" from camping this weekend. My wife is out of town, so we have to "dog-sit". We may try and do a day trip out there Saturday and/or Sunday. We'll probably stage at Plaster City and ride over (no need to drive further than necessary!). I'll plug the coordinates in the GPS and try and track you guys down just to say hi at least.

Crawdaddy 96 Posted January 21, 2008 Packing up now, looking forward to seeing some new faces out there this weekend =) Roger (Strega)/Tom (TomH)/Fred (Snaildarter) - Glad you guys were able to find us and stop by to say hello......with 6 boys between 13-16 in our camp we weren't "in camp" a whole lot so I'm glad you guys were able to catch us On Saturday, everyone in the Superstition area was treated to a private air show by the Blue Angels....very cool: Jarrett decided to test the suspension limits of my 520 yesterday over in the mud hills....."Look Dad, isn't this cool".....then he realized the landing area was hard/flat as opposed to the soft/sloped dunes over by our camp .......needless to say, he succeeded in finding the suspension travel limits It was really empty out there this weekend.....which was pretty sweet....here's a nice view of our camp from a distance.....it's just left of center in the below photo (proximity to the dunes for jumping the quads/bikes is another reason the kids like to camp so far back on Wheeler road)....

bikeslut 1 Posted January 22, 2008 Great pics, Chris... is that Yamaha your boy? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crawdaddy 96 Posted January 22, 2008 Great pics, Chris... is that Yamaha your boy? No, Jarrett (my son) snapped the photo's of the guys on the YZ's.....we used to bleed Yamaha blue but we both ride KTM's now that we're "dual sported"......the guys on the YZ's were right near our camp and jumping in tandem.......actually thought it might have been Roger (Strega) til I saw the number plates on their bikes when I uploaded the photos.....

SnailDarter 0 Posted January 22, 2008 Hey Chris -- thanks again for having us out. Those shots Jarrett took of the jumpers turned out great!! Lesson from the weekend: next time my son gets the quad stuck he can get it out himself. No need messing up my riding by yanking my back out. I sure wish I could have ridden more. My back was bad enough that I stayed home today (good excuse anyway) - and I'll be babying it from now until the Deset Dash. But it was good to get out on some 'real' sand as a warm up for the Dash. It was really nice to meet Doug and Gary and all the kids -- they all got along great. /Fred Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
