Me and two friends that i work and ride with are going to Little Sahara Utah and St. Anthony's Idaho - leaving Indianapolis area moring of June 13, and planning on being home by the 22nd.
Several forum guys considering the caravan are Bigwaynster, dsbomb, and a few other here that have posted interest in past posts. Consider this an invite for all who wants to join the trek, meet anywhere in between, or hook up after arriving. The two guys going with me in my truck are ERAPTOID and BansheeWarrior from ATVConnection. They invited people too, might be a nice turnout - the more the merrier.

A few of you guys that live out in sandland have offered to show us around the places when we come, so I'd love to collect on those offers if they still stand! We've been waiting for this trip for quite a while, and getting this kind of time away from the ol' lady, and work, is tricky sometimes, but we all finally managed. Hope some more of you guys can do the same!

Our schedule is to leave Indy around 4:00am friday June 13, show up at Little Sahara Saturday June 14, ride and camp there for a few days, then go up to St. Anthony's. Gotta be back on the road to return home by the morning of June 21 at the absolute latest. This schedule is etched in stone, with vacation time already scheduled at work.

I need camp info, and all the advice and details you locals want to give to help make our trip as awesome as possible. We want to camp where its cool to have lots of beer, within a quad ride to the dunes, and hopefully have showers available. Is that asking for too much??


Rocky - Wayne - Steve - you guys considering? Anybody else wanta join the trek or meet us?

 

are you talking about st.anthony dunes? been reading about it sounds like maybe better than glamis? i am looking for a dune trip other than little sahara ok.

 

Yeah, St. Anthony dunes.

Main part of the trip is Little Sahara Utah, but want to hit St. Anthony's while we're out there. Its the home of Choke Cherry, and we wanna climb it just because of all the video footage we've seen of people failing!

So far, Little Sahara OK is the furthest we've been - good time, I'll go back sometime.

 

Let some of us idaho riders know when you are going to be at St. Anthony. I lie about 30 miles away (Idaho Falls) from their and have a few buddies that would love to ride with you. We can even show you where choke cherry is.

 

is there any where else to stay at st. anthony besides camping, hotels ect? i've got any old motorhome but sure if i want to trust it on a 3000 mile trip.

 

You can stay in rexburg. it is about 5-10 minutes away from the dunes. There are a few different motels there along with Yamaha, Honda, Suzuki, and Bombardier dealers. Heck, Rexburg even has Mc. Donalds.

we have tried going to little sahara ok in the spring (april-may) we've gone in the fall ( sept-oct) the weather slaps us in the face each time. if we came out there in the summer is it so freaking hot you can't ride? or does the altitude help? june-july-august would be nice time to ride?

 

Thanks Mugsy - PM me your contact info, and we'll get a hold of you when we get into town. A grand tour from a local that knows the place is ideal man! Can't say exactly which day it will be now though, not sure how long we'll be at Little Sahara Utah until we see it and ride it!

 

Sounds like it would be a good time. We've got some property about 30-40 mins away from St. Anthony. Never even knew about the place until I got my quad. Let's go!!
