R.I.P. Gordie " WindHog " Wensley

The one and only. Completely original Wind Hog has passed away.

Gordie hasn't been well for a while now so many of the new members won't know him. He was one fun guy in or out of his hog suit. One of the 1st " old masters " that I met in the sport. I think there is still an award for anybody who can find his finger on Ivanpah lake! :D

We have to burn a flag for him at SOBB this year! We haven't burned one since he stopped coming.

I got to know Gordie out in the dessert at nabx. I will never forget him wearing his pig suite out on the playa.

Sad to hear, haven't seen him in a few years but always picture him wearing the pig snout and having a load of laughs.
Rest in peace my friend

So sad to hear the news. Gordie was a good friend that I met 20 yrs ago in Long Beach, WA. It's always been a pleasure to know him and I'll miss him terribly. Here's a picture of Gordy in all of his glory:

oh shoot
I was just thinking about Gordie 5 minutes ago and the sweet Rev he gave me at buggy camp.

He was a great guy.
One of the best.
I'll miss him very much

Think we should do some kind of memorial for him at SOBB?

jellis - 3-5-2015 at 07:07 PM

Great idea Morrie! Where can we find a C2?

Morrie Williams - 4-5-2015 at 11:32 AM

I think we burned the last one a few years back. Wasn't in Mark Davis' ?

Maybe we get together after spaghetti Saturday night, tell stories about Gordie and raise a toast!

Bladerunner - 5-5-2015 at 04:41 AM

I wonder if anybody has an old Rev' they would let us burn ? I can't think of Gordie without thinking Rev'.

no you can't burn my Rev, Blade

maybe we can find something else
