I plan on camping for the pre-event and the main event. I was going to drive in on Thurs. the 29 th and join Dooley out at Elmers. Anyway since he
will not be able to make the event this year I need to know when others who are camping will be arriving and at what lake bed. A girl can not be too
safe.
Thanks
Susan

My Dad and I should be there Friday morning at the latest. We're leaving Cinci, OH wednesday early hauling the camper. We might make it by thursday
night, but probably not before dark with 2 drivers and 25 hrs of traveling.
we've never been to Elmers, should it be easy to find everyone?
Can't wait to be back out there!

Hey Chip
I have only been there once and that was last year. Once you get onto the lake bed drive down the center for several miles and look for other
buggyers to the right. We all gather at Walts cove.

Thanks Shannon I always work hard at being safe. This year I have a co-pilot. He just turned a year old. He will be the pretty boy at my side and
riding in the buggy with me.

I will be flying into Orange County airport on 29th and looking forward to buggy with you all on Friday 30th morning at Elmers :singing: then to
Superior dry lake thru the weekend.
Jeez, Don, not a dry eye in my house, after watching that little video...
Thanks for the great shots of camp, of my Old Glory snapping in the breeze, and especially those precious memories of our dear, departed Dave Kennedy.
Know that he's with you guys, at NABX 2007, and that I never camp at Elmer's anymore without feeling his presence, especially in those silent moments
at dawn and dusk, when the glorious, luminous desert skies remind me of Dave's bare-foot patrol of the early morning Buggytown, usually bringing
coffee or some early humor to my door, and opening the day the way only Dave could.
Cripes, I'm crying again... I'm really gonna miss the trip this year.deanaoxo - 25-3-2007 at 08:22 AM
With you Dooley, with you. Just saw it too, and want you to know, we are bringing a special tribute to lvtDave this year. A little offering to
the wind gods in true Dave style.
Pictures i will send you.
Dave's tree, sunset, thursday, Elmers.

That video was also very special for me as well. It was my very first afternoon on a dry lake bed and also the day that I had met up with the first
of my buggy family outside of my own backyard. Along with some fine desert dining from Mike and Dave.
Thank you Don, that was awesome.

Just wanted to let everyone know that I will not be leaving until Thurs. and will meet up with everyone at Superior on Sat. A friend of mine lost
her husband in a motorcycle accident this past weekend and I am going to sing for the funeral on Weds.
See everyone on Saturday. I can already taste the dust.

Susan,
Sorry to here the bad news of your friends hubby.
It's ironic to go from such a bad event to such a great one...
Send the buggy fam's regards. I, for one, will be pulling for ya.
Robjonesing4wind - 27-3-2007 at 01:22 PM
Susan, I, too, am sorry for your friends loss. There is nothing to say to ease what she will be going thru... but it may help her to know she is not
alone. I would like to join Sockhat in sending my regards...
On another note, when are people heading to Superior? I will be leaving LAX at about 10pm and can either head to Elmers or Superior. Will anybody be
at Superior by midnight Friday night?
Seanyaction jackson - 27-3-2007 at 01:29 PM

SeanyKitePwr - 28-3-2007 at 09:55 AM
I'll be heading down to Elmers on Friday or early Saturday. It's been many, many years since I could get out and buggy so I'm really looking
forward to this. See ya all there.

The trialer has been retired. I'm afriad to tow it with all the rust and the colony of wasps that have made it home the last few years in my
driveway. I'll try and think of something else to bring for your amusement
When and where will you be? Some folks are talking Superior and some are talking Elmers.
Darrinkitemaker4 - 28-3-2007 at 01:08 PM
The ones that are doing the pre-event will be at Elmers until Sat. morn then move on to Superior and stay till Tues. morn then on to the main event.

Apparently the more reliable wind of Elmers is outweighed by the lack of ATVs on Superior. I'll be driving to Superior sometime on Saturday, from
Elmers.
SteveKitePwr - 28-3-2007 at 07:02 PM
Thanks Susan, Thanks Steve,
I'm probably not going to be able to leave till Friday afternoon. That puts me at Elmers around midnight. Assuming that holds true, I'll crash there
for the night and join the migration to Superior in the morning.
Thanks,
Darrindeanaoxo - 28-3-2007 at 10:43 PM
You have to admit Darrin, the best part of the gag, was the time we didn't move the trailer! You couldn't find it that morning either!
:wink2:
