Is anyone planning on a fall trip to Lil Sahara? I pulled up the site, there are no spots left in Cowboy the last week of Sept. or the first week of Oct (in Cowboy). There are a 10 spots left for the week of Oct 23rd to 28. Anyone planning on heading down? If so, we should get some spots reserved soon!
-
you guys pick a date and i will do my best to make it. going to be real touchy making it to st a.
-
allen wants to make a fall trip too this year. doubt i can talk scott into it but i bet bigdave does! lol
-
Well if theres no where to camp, no where to ride.
We could be a maybe, possible, depends on how stuff goes.
-
Dad (Allan) and myself will try to attend!! The more the merrier!
-
if its running right. I will try and make a fall trip.

soooo... i think you made a small error ....if i interperut this correctly it says......it will be running and you will make a fall trip? ;D
-
Well I have a grandson getting married on OCT 28th and I will be packing the sand car in the toy hauler the following week to leave for Yuma. So I'm out.
-
well darnit fast......budlight pick new dates fast can make.
-
Ok, I did some more searching changing the dates up a bit. The weekends are pretty booked. BUT, if you head down on Sunday and leave on Thursday, it looks like this:
10/1 thru 10/5 - 14 open spots in Cowboy
10/15 thru 10/19 - 15 open spots in Cowboy
I hate the busy weekends anyway. We have two good choices. Let's here from the group and start booking soon.
-
i bet theres room at dueces wild guys
-
Ok the 10/1 to 10/5 could be doable for me if I can get the frig in the toy hauler fixed. Baring any bad luck that I can't fix before I leave for Yuma.
-
I have site #628 10/1 thru 10/5
-

replace it with a residential and connect that to 2 batts for travel time. every new fiver i have looked at have all gone to this design. those fridge freezer combos are side by side with water and ice in the door and all led lighting inside.
-
My buddy Mike couldn't come down until Thursday, so we have two spots up at Deuces for the nights of 10/5 and 10/6.
-
10/1-10/6 spot 19 for me
-

dueces

dueces
never going to quit trying ;D ;D
-
just looked only 2 sites left for cowboy and sat isn't an option as they have already been reserved so would have to leave fri afternoon. is that week a sand fest week? how many have reserved sites at cowboy? i haven't and i don't believe enemy has but just text him asking. fabr did they ever get showers and toilets in at dueces?
-
yup on the rest rooms,need to double check on showers but SFAIK yes as I see people heading that way with shower stuff................(I'm making no promises) and full hookups. Lots of spots still and most with full hookups. I know you guys like cowboy but there's no way in Hell I'm putting up with dinky spots and short showers in toter every day due to no sewer hook up. I value my 20 or more minute HOT showers.None of that dinky 6 or 10 gallon water heater BS either. I really,really,really like my tankless heater. I'll put up with the short ride to the dune entrance. I don't mind the few minutes it takes at all and the whoops are a nice warm up ride.. ;) ;)

There isn't a saturday during 10/1-10/6(Sun-Fri). What dates are you planning on?
-
well as long as lance doesn't blow my rail up telling me to try that in idaho then those dates will work. prob head down tues after work and leave sat morning. but how she runs in idaho is the deciding factor i suppose.

i do too....thats why i let it run out on the ground lol i do not pull the handle full bore at 6 am and let 40 plus gals out like a fire hydrant, while the park ranger is driving by like fast did rofl rofl LMAO LMAO
-
Then why are you always using the lack of showers at Dueces as an excuse for not staying there? They've had clean rest rooms for the last couple years.
-
enemy and carl don't have bathrooms
-
and i am not a fan of the woops however if we make those dates and carl goes there aren't enough spots at cowboy to stay this time
-
Dueces has had the johns for at least the last couple years. And I hate running on pavement with paddles any further than I have to. I'll take the whoops over more pavement,full hookups and not having to make a stop somewhere else to dump my black tanks before hitting the road. You guys just liked the fact many times you didn't have to pay @ cowboy. Remember,I used to stay there before dueces was there and I used the smaller trucks to tow with. I'm not staying @ cowboy ever again unless thet make the spots bigger and add full hook ups. To each their own though..
-
2 years ago the state sites went to online reservations so we have to pay before we ever get there now. its the woops and that damn train for me but either than that it is a nice camp ground and if we go and there are no cowboy sites ( which there won't be) then it will be duces so we can bother you and mrs fabbr ;D
-
I only remember paying @ any of the state campgrounds a couple times in like 10 years. The rangers never came by. That on-line reservation ruined all that though. I'd started doing Dueces before that. I like the quiet,short run to town and lack of dumbass party hounds clear to dawn.I don't even notice the train. It was a LOT worse down at Sand City. Those effers would blow that damn horn FOREVER down there! rofl Nope,the only thing wrong with Dueces is that I can't ever get any of you to give me a heads up when you are heading out. Hell,you guys don't do it when I'm in the same camp! 5: 5: I mean it's soooooo hard to send off a text..................
-
my phone is usually shut off while i am there and when we camped at dueces i came over and told you we were going out each time! you didn't always go..... put your base unit in the toter
-
Bump, dad wants to know a date!
-

-

There is no event that I know of. Back in July when I started looking, they were getting VERY full. Every weekend spring and fall, I would expect it to be full within 5 to 6 weeks out.

Looks like sept 27-oct 1 is bansheeHQ. Brap Brap Brap Brap.
fyi
If you are planning a trip this season to Little Sahara (Oklahoma) be aware of the new laws. Most important if you stay on the north end and ride into town.
You CAN NOT cross the high-way to get to Stewart's anymore. A new road was cut to get from North gate to Hammerheads/Cafe. DO NOT ride on the side of the high-way even if you see a trail, they will ticket you.
-
Good to know.... hopefully ill remember that before i attempt it.
Looks like dad and i will be heading down Wednesday the 4th or Thursday the 5th.
-
Cool!!

Last spring when we were there, they had a new road cut to go to the gas station or the ice machine. You could go to Stewart's by going to the motel, and cut straight across the street. What site did you use to see the 4 wheeler invasion?

-

I have that week off. I could stay longer. the first part of the week just works best for the other two guys. I thought I would just leave it open ended. depending on how its going. I may or may not stay longer. 5: 5: 5:
-
you know as well as i that if that sand is smooth and fresh....you won`t be leaving early lol we will have to stay at dueces as there was only 1 site left on south side last i looked. got the diff cam in mine and rockers all re installed last night so now just need to put timing belt on and set timing. then i have to make a new down pipe for diff turbo. enemy is still waiting for an ecu for his fresh built turbo busa engine.
-
well i can say for sure i wont make this trip. got the rr cam installed and better but i will be changing the turbo. parts are 1 week out. have to address th`er as well , enemy might have his ecu next week but no way heall be ready in time. and allen cannot make it now. so going to wait prob 4 weeks for a quick run
-
LOOKS LIKE THE WEATHER IS GOING TO BE GREAT
-
Unless the forecast is way off,it should be the nicest weather for a dune trip in the last 5 years. Fingers crossed!!
-
at this point the forecast looks very good, especially first half of the week. perfect campfire cool nights and low 80as for highs so long sleeve shirt for morning ride and short sleeve for after lunch lol
-
So shorts whole time? LOL
You guys have a blast, save some sand, we be there in spring with a little extra umph.
-
And I see some wind in the forecast to groom the sand bunkers smooth
-
looks like good times to me. come on Sunday. fabr and budlight we will need to trade # when i get there. so we can ride together. I have a feeling we will be over at the south camp grounds.
-
i'll pm you my number...looks like I may have spoken too soon on the forecast though. I had barely posted the above and the damn thing changed. 5:

kim have reservations at the south camp? i'm sure there's plenty of room at north side. i only ask as last time i looked there weren't any available spots on state ground on south side.
-
Now the rain is out of forecast and daytime temps in mid 80's. Looking good!
-
that would be perfect weather even with a little wind!
-
i hope someone has there cameras rolling on atleast one of these runs! fabbr......... ;D

-
just looked at the forecast...looks like possible shower back in the forecast wens thru fri. hope not and humidity looks low down in the low 60% ranges.
-

-
That's few days too far out for them to know. Temps look great and remember a rainy day at dunes better than sunny day at work. Damn I've missed a whole yr I really got the itch
-
Ya still have time.
-
Nice as can be,windy as all hell but we expect that this time of year. All settled in,waiting for morning to unload cars and quads. Should be some glass smooth dunes eatly. WTF am I saying? I won't be up that early. LMAO
-

-
Great time and good weather. We only had rain one day out of seven. Five broke buggy's; 3 were fixed. CV's, blown gasket, bent rim and one motor with a terrible knock. The sand was smooth most of the week.

And thanks for fixing the "automatic picture re-size thingy". So much easier posting pics!

-

-

No pictures of fast because I wimped out. Thursday morning Fast loaded up in the rain, pulled down in the rain, unloaded in the rain at LS, set around all day in the rain. then repeated same back home Thursday night. Had to pay two nights at a motel in Alva that I never got to stay in.
-
The rumored gasket was just that.a rumor. Details in another thread.

so didnt want to rent a room in waynoka huh lol dont blame you a bit. well that sucks glenn.
-
Had a great time. the trike makes for a nice pit bike. not for $hit on the highway. good group of guys. can't what for the next time. Bill has pulled the heads on his car. found the piston was hitting the head. he has not opened up the bottom yet. my guess is a rod bearing went out. Kim has new bead look wheels on order I thank, I will be repairing my power steering soon. no more of the strong arming it. my arms still hurt. lol
-
OH YA . fabers car, WOW!!!!!! THATS ALL. going to be fun when he gets all the bugs worked out.
-
gear strip inside?
-

It's already fun for a money pit...................... rofl Thanks for the kind words though!
-
gear strip inside? If you mean my steering. I got it wet washing the car and burned out the control board. late Wednesday it started locking up. not sure what the deal with that is.
-
That shouldn't be the PS . It is just a viscous coupling with a straight thru shaft.Nothing I know of in the PS that should lock up SFAIK.
-
well it just so happens i screwed up the first eps saturn vue i bought, lol inside that unit is a large plastic type gear. it is possible that gear jammed or broke inside. it like an xxxlg version of a window motor in a car door.
-
Ended up that the shaft was binding in the support at the steering wheel. just a brass bushing, add some sand and bingo binding up. I have ran it for five years or better. cleaned it up, honed out the hole good as new. https://www.appletreeauto.com/STEERING-BEARING-MOUNT-4-Aluminum-Clamp-On-For-3-4-Shaft/
-
well better than the eps unit!
-
i have used that bushing model and the same housing with a bearing in it......i have the bearing one now and it sure is a sloppy fit! your style i pulled every year and cleaned and greased and never had an issue.
