Jawbone Spanksgiving 2002!

Fred, I'll have to check my Drill dates, but I'm up for the first weekend for sure. Not certain about the 2nd weekend or (week)days in between yet.
Kiwi, what jetting should I plan on? I ran 45/175 this weekend at Gorman and it worked great. If anything I think I may still be a hair rich in the bottom-mid transition.

Great... Please have them email me at JIMnJILL@mchsi.com if they would like to meet up. I live in the area, but we are considering camping out anyway.

We've decided to scrap the tent and 'car-camp' since the back of the Pilot is so roomy, well insulated, and off the ground. Plus we won't have to worry that our tent blows away!
I'll bring our stove, lantern, easy-up, and a couple tables if Capt. Jack or Pvt. Joker want to share. Just bring your own sleeping quarters and food!

Of course the family and I were riding this weekend. The weather was beautiful as I am sure it will be next weekend. We are excited about Thanksgiving week. We will probably show up on the first weekend for day rides and come back during the week for camping. The wife is probably gonna have to make a journey back to the house every day for a shower and electric hair dryer. She doesn't understand camping, but I'll keep her anyway!
Oh, by the way, are we going to be the only ones with quads??

Jimbo, you are probably the only quads but don't let that stop you from having fun with your family and some of the other flatlanders. Most of the intermediate and advanced rides are two-wheels only. Alot of quads and dune buggies go to Dove Springs which is only 5-6 miles away on trail. It's alot sandier there, not as much gnarly stuff.
Now, for those of you that have the knack for some ugliness, let me refer to some of my delicious quotes from past victims. "This isn't riding! And who the hell are YOU?". "Look, I can see our camp!". "Are you laughing or crying?". "Oooooh!". "We're going.....THERE?". "See if it starts now". "It could be worse". "That's just WRONG".
Hope to see you all there. I'm in a green Dodge flatbed and a travel trailer with my evil twin "Cornfed". Bring good tires!

I spoke to one of the BLM law enforcement guys. He said in the surrounding area (i.e. Dove Springs, Jawbone, Spangler, Red Mountain, etc.) there is usually about 500 riders on a given weekend. During Thanksgiving, he expects over 7,000 riders! I think we may need traffic cops!

P.S. My wife may not be able to climb many of the narrow, insanely verticle hills.... but she is no flatlander. She likes to point it up the hill and go!!

Uh, I think the wrong impression is starting here. The first weekend there won't be ANYBODY there except our own little world. It's great. Also, whatever the BLM guy said, I've never seen that many people there, not even close. Dove Springs gets pretty full later in the week and Jawbone has it's share but that's not until Wednesday night and Thursday. Even then, most people stay in the canyon while the "loonies" go on long trail rides.
Thumbs, Eel, Bundy, Jimbo, Boodac, Captain Jack, KTMBoy, we'll be arriving Friday night, ready to party. Can't wait!

You are right, Endoquest. The BLM guy said he expected 7000 riders on Thanksgiving holiday weekend. But that included a large area in which Jawbone is just a part. Maybe we will just drive out Friday night (with no bikes) to meet you guys.
So, are you guys interested in a potluck Thanksgiving Dinner?

I'm hitching a ride up for the first weekend w/ Thumbs. I think the plan is to leave Friday if possible. I'll probably leave my bike so that I can drive out Thursday in my car.
Kiwi, can you grab some of those Allen head screws (for the float bowl) that you said you had a bunch of? I mean if it's not too much trouble and they're not packed away somewhere. What size main are you running out there? I was pretty dialed in 2 weeks ago at Gorman, but I'm a perfectionist!
I got fresh rubber and it's gonna be sweet!

No problem Bundy, it looks like we're gonna have a good crew during the week too. Leaving your bike is fine CPT Jack, there is always someone in camp. Kiwi, you've gotta try this bike. Jimbo, Spanksgiving dinner is usually a pot-luck type deal but you can't really count on it either. Some years we have too much and some not enough, kinda hard to gauge. Bring what you want for yourself, if everyone is sharing, do the same. After all, we're social misfits and can't be counted on for anything!
