Default First trip to Glamis, where should I park?

I printed out all of the maps at sandbros.com but I don't know which is best. We want to be pretty close to the action so I am assuming that one of the pads would work out well, but which one? Also, we will be driving a two-wheel drive explorer, should we worry about getting stuck? Last thing, will anyone else be out there that would like to meet up and ride? I've heard that Glamis is huge and we could easily get lost- someone that knows there way around would be great to ride with or at least tell us where the hot spots are. Don't worry about us slowing you down too much, we are not new to dunes, just Glamis.
Thanks,
JP

P.S.- I'll be going with newraptor2000 , he has posted in this forum I believe.

Yo boogerbub, nice Icon. After we get back from Glamis you'll have to find an action Icon that shows a Raptor roosting a 250r.

ROFLMAO!!!!

To King,
Thanks for the help. If anybody else is heading towards Glamis Sat. night till Mon. We would love to meet with you guys.

If you guys are camping in tents and need toilets. Anywhere along gecko rd will do. If you have a trailer or such with your own toity or you don't **** or ***** then anywhere else is good. The washes are on the side with the hills, Olds etc. Gecko rd is where the afternoon sand drags are.

Your first trip to Glamis, you might want to check in with the ranger station right at the beggining of Gecko rd. Get the latest info on rules etc. You'll get a Glamis pack with maps and information. Sand highway runs right along the road from gecko to the store on the other side of the dunes where the washes are. Thats the easiest way to get from one side to the other. Once you figure out what your needs are find a place to park. Your not new to dunes so you probably know the tricks and dangers of dunes. Enjoy. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Hey guys, keep in mind (look at your maps) if you park near Gecko road then you have quite a ride over to Comp hill/Olds hill ect.

Each way your looking at a 4-6 mile sand highway cruise. (just to GET there) The sand highways are not ideal wide open 80MPH either, unless you have 4 feet of suspention travel for the constant woops....[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

if your ATV is registered out of state than bring your registration and sticker etc. .. if you are from a state which does not require OHV registration than you can purchase a temp green sticker

I wouldnt purchase one myself, they do not have sticker check points. Save your money and enjoy yourself. If I were you I would camp in the washes. You still are close to the glamis store (showers $5) bathrooms(??) vender alley (food,PARTS,TIRESHOP,jjons if you are brave) but still away from the above IMHO.
