Are you driving or flying and renting? We took the small (5x10) trailer this year- pulling the toyhauler prooved to be just too expensive last year (6mpg vs 15 mpg). the weather during our stay was awesome - mid 70s to low 80s. Glad we missed the president's Day weekend - guestimates were at 100000+ visitors. Go there during the week and you practically have the place to yourself. Holiday weekends are just too crazy). Depending on your driving times expect to be on the road 3-5 days. You have to have a permit - I'm told you can buy them online or in Brawley for $25 (for a week stay per vehicle). cost me $40 on site. No finer place have I ever found to ride than Glamis.

Title: Re: Glamis bound - anyone else? Post by: montecarlo31 on March 05, 2009, 08:54:36 AM I'll probably drive at 70 MPH to be realistic, Over most trips more then 1,000 miles I average about 65 to 67 MPH w/ stops. Fuel doesn't really bother me. I already have permits from BLM as a friend is living in Cali right now for work. You can also purchase them online. I figure it's a day and a half of stright driving but w/ four people that will be easy in shifts. Are you tent camping out there w/ the small trailer? and yes pics or ban when you get back. I'm impressed you have a good wireless signal out there, many say they have a tough time with it.
