Ok...so I am twiddling my thumbs here, just waiting for the last 6 days to rush by, I was messing wish my GPS and want to get used to putting coordinates in....so has anyone got the coordinates of the buggy camp so I can have that in ready...

practice purposes of course naturally...I am not excited or anything like that...:wee:

Hmm been practicing found Ivanpah coordinates N 35.55058 and W -115.38013. which is exactly 5173 miles from my home as the crow flys...now I need buggy camp

http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=35.572414,-115.392258...

here is a link to a google maps of my best guess on buggy camp. I guess the 35/115 numbers are what you're after.

Lol @ my dome, yes I am used to doing this on my hols...

When you get to the Las Vegas Airport there will be a cute blond girl come up to you and give you a big hug. While she is giving you this hug she will be planting a transponder so we can locate you where ever you go. We always keep an eye on buggy builders on your caliber. Looking forward to meeting you.

she may also have a deep voice and very strong hug :o

Beware of the girl in the Pink Skirt ! :wink2:

I have it on some of the old tracks I made, I'll see if I can dig it up. Make sure you waypoint buggy camp in case you get too far away and get lost

@ Jon I was getting really excited when I started reading this John lol...if there's one thing I love its a big hug...cute blond is an added bonus

@Markite...deep voice, strong hug...lol makes no difference when you get to my age...a welcome like that is always welcome

@ BR....hmmm yeah, I have read posts of a strange looking person in a pink skirt on the playa....I will probably be tired and exhausted, my vision may not be perfect....a vision of pinkness may be all it takes....I hope they can run fast

@arkay, dont worry too much about it, I will get the way point when I am there, I was just practicing, and I will have forgotten everything by the time I am there anyway, talking of which, I am wondering what I will have forgotten already...there's always something right...

That's a pretty good guess at BuggyTown, I think, within a few meters. Yeah you can lose site of BuggyTown over the horizon but the surrounding mountains will keep you oriented without the GPS.
