"Wheeler's Anonymous"

I haven't seen much of Gorman aside from what's on the way coming/going to and from the MJT, but from what I understand Gorman is more of an OHV park with a variety of trails and obstacles...kind of like Rowher. MJT is one particular trail and there's not really any way to avoid the parts of it that make it really difficult.

 

ugh, yeah I hate that. Pismo was definitely like that lol. The flags didn't really help, trying to spot a tiny orange flag coming up over a dune is next to impossible, at least not before the vehicle is right in your face. Fortunately there weren't any accidents out there this weekend that I know of, but I can see how it probably does happen often.

 

Yeah, I hear ya. It was an experience and being with the TW group is what really made the trip. It's something I'd like to do as a group maybe annually, but that's probably about as much of Pismo as I could handle. Plus, cleaning out sand is a bitch...I'm still doing it

 

Definitely hard to see out there. I knew a guy from school who was in Glamis on his bike and got killed by a sand rail hitting him. Definitely had that in the back of my mind when I went out on my bike

 

I think Danny was referring to Gorman. But Pismo was the same. Good in small doses (like once a year). I got into off-roading to see beautiful things and get away from people. The sound of generators, listening to other peoples noise, having to obey quiet hrs if I'm not ready to be quiet, yadda yadda. All things I want to get far away from. Don't get me wrong, established camping and hitting the same trails over and over has its positives, but the adventure of new landscapes and challenges are what motivates me.

 

X2!

The only other side to this is the way some and I do it sometimes.
We go where the adventure takes us some just bring earplugs.

God I hate generators!! I can't say that enough! &
That and the guy that does 50 thru camp at 3am on a 450 rapotor with aftermarket exhaust!

 

I being ear plugs everytime I camp. I learned quickly that RTTs make a lot of noise in the wind. That mixed with my hyperactive worrying something is wrong makes for a tough nights sleep.

When we were at this spot:


It was somewhat windy and I had a dream that we rolled off the cliff into the canyon. Could not sleep after waking up from that haha

 

Yhea 4 sure the tent flapping can be troublesome

Nice pic.

 

Word. We had ear plugs in Pismo. Been wearing them for years. They helped big time sleeping on the ship in the Navy. I've always worked around screaming industrial equipment so I snatch a handful for home and the trails whenever I need to re-up. I actually have slight hearing loss from a life of loud environments. I barely notice it but when I do my annual heating tests I'm told the tests shows the loss. I can talk at a loud volume at times and that's why. Just tell me to pipe it down if you hear me getting loud. It's likely I'm not aware of it. Haha

 

I wouldn't be caught dead with earplugs in while camping.

I'm usually armed with at least one firearm as well.

At least.

 

Story of my life

@digitaLbraVo @eon_blue @MADSTEEZE and all you other guys. I would tag ya but they don't work after a couple.lol

 

Pretty sure my buddy's wedding is that weekend...I'll have to double check when I get home tonight but if not then I'm down

 

I'll run it past the supervisor, I imagine she's gonna be on board.

 

WHAT?

 

I just got 'I'm the supervisor' by Infected Mushroom stuck in my head after reading this, lol. Haven't heard of or thought of that song in years...

 

"I wanna go wheelin' with T-Dub this weekend!" is usually met with an eye roll these days.

If I toss in there camping she immediately dives into planning mode,

 

Have I never told you guys the story of that trip to the Grand Canyon when a random man snuck up on us in the middle of the night?

 

Already sounds like you should be armed as well, ha.
