Well, after many pitfalls along the way and much anticipation I finally can say I will be at the greatest show on earth.
It should be myself and majorecho. Should be pulling in to wash 11 mid day or earlier on thursday.
I have a couple of questions though.
What route do you guys from vegas take to get to glamis? Mapquest shows going from 15 over to 95 or 93 (cant remember exactly) It is the one that takes you through searchlight and needles. Then mapquest has me picking up I-10 over to 78 I think, and down to glamis.
Is that the best route? I will be coming from utah down 15, so if there is a better route please let me know.
Now the hard question, Where to get water.
I am coming from cold country and dont want to fill up here and freeze something. So, I am trying to find a place to beg, borrow, or steal about 100 gallons of water. Actually I could pay for it also if that is of concern.
Well, I am stoked as hell to come play. I have not been to glamis in about 10 years, so it will be like coming home for me.
Well any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks sand, it will be cool to see you again also. It has been almost a year since dumont, time flys.
Yeah, if anyone can help with the water thing that would be great. We could fill up at major's house, but then I still have to tow it through some cold weather and 700 miles to get there. I can do it, but would prefer to fill up closer to dumont.
Anyway thanks
Bat

If you drive through Searchlight, be sure to drive slow. It is a small town, with a good source of income being people driving through and getting speeding tickets. The speed limit in town is about 25 MPH, and knowing this is a steady source of income for them, don't even drive through at 26 MPH.
As far as water: don't most RV parks let you fill up with water on site? I know there are RV parks in Laughlin, NV which I'm sure would be closer. My parents who are now doing a lot of RVing bought a book that covers the entire US listing RV parks; perhaps you could get a book like that then call ahead to the nearest RV park to Glamis and get your water there? I'm sure at the very least that would save you money in gas.

Yeah, I know all about searchlight, I used to live in Bullhead city and glendale arizona.
It seems there is more then one of those little towns along there, but maybe it was just searchlight. I think that the police station and court house were in a mobile home if I am not mistaken.
I appreciate the tips. Not sure what we will do yet. But I think I would still prefer to fill up closer, and this water will not be for drinking, just showers and washing dishes and stuff like that.
Thanks again
