I was over in Gordens Well for t-day. Busy as hell as usual for that weekend (we had a guy get killed 200 yards from camp). Sheldon Riggs made one of his 1st rides back or even his 1st ride back since his super gnar gnar crash 9 weeks ago (for all of you that even know he was injured).

Hey Will I will be out at Glamis for New Years, are you getting out there for that weekend?

People die at the desert all the time unfortunately. Alcohol + no common sense = something bad's gonna happen.


I got this off another site...




In one of five fatal off-road accidents that occurred in Imperial County recreation areas this Thanksgiving weekend, the father and mother of a 5-year-old boy who died in a rollover accident were arrested on felony charges, according to a California Highway Patrol accident report.

At least four other people died from off-road vehicle accidents in Imperial County this weekend, and a fifth person died of natural causes in the dunes in what Imperial County Deputy Coroner Henry Proo called "the worst weekend I have ever seen."

The rollover accident is being investigated as alcohol-related, the report said.

According to a CHP report, the pickup from the rollover accident was driving along a sand dune ridge Saturday afternoon with six people in the cab, none of them wearing seat belts.

The truck slid sideways down a 150-foot embankment, rolling several times before coming to a rest at the bottom of the embankment, according to the report. The boy was partially ejected, Macken said.

"Unfortunately, they tried to represent the mother as the driver," said Imperial County Sheriff's Office Lt. Rick Macken, who responded to the accident.

Kenneth Ray Campos and Claudia Gonzalez, of Madera, Calif., were charged with felony child endangerment, providing a false statement to a peace officer and obstructing and delaying a peace officer's investigations, according the CHP report.

The boy, from Madera, died after sustaining major head trauma.

One other passenger in the accident was sent to Pioneer's Memorial Hospital in Brawley for a broken arm, and two others suffered minor injuries.

In another accident Saturday morning, a 31-year-old man from Mesa died after he jumped a large embankment on his ATV in open desert north of Glamis, according to a CHP accident report. When he landed, his vehicle rolled several times, and the man suffered several injuries. The incident is also being investigated as alcohol-related, according to the report.

In a similar fatal accident Saturday afternoon, a 34-year-old man from Altadena, Calif., crested a sandhill at "unsafe speeds" in the Glamis Recreational area, not knowing what was on the other side of the hill, a CHP report said.

"His quad became airborne as the hill had a sheer drop-off known as a razorback," the report said. The man and his quad fell approximately 50 feet to the bottom of the hill. Emergency response personnel initiated lifesaving procedures, but he died as a result of injuries he sustained when he hit the desert floor, according to the report.

In a fourth fatal accident, a 28-year old man from Peoria was driving a dirt bike near Gordon's Well when he hit the side of a dune buggy. The man died from blunt force trauma after the accident, according to CHP Sgt. Lynn Domby. Domby said the case is still under investigation.

In the Ocotillo Wells State Vehicular Recreation Area near Borrego Springs, Calif., Saturday afternoon, a 25-year-old man from Yorba Linda, Calif., died after his Yamaha dirt bike collided with a dune buggy at the crest of a dune in Ocotillo Wells Saturday afternoon, according to a CHP report. Alcohol was not a factor in the collision, the report said. The driver of the dune buggy suffered no injuries.

No one who died in the accidents was from Yuma.

Proo said another case is under investigation. A person died in the recreational area near Glamis this weekend due to a suspected overdose on prescription drugs. Proo had no further details on the case. He said the body will be autopsied Tuesday.

Bureau of Land Management spokesman Gary Taylor said this weekend in the dunes was "above average in terms of fatalities."

Taylor estimated that nearly 200,000 people came to the dunes for Thanksgiving weekend, which is typically the busiest weekend for recreation in the Imperial Dunes.

The four deaths this weekend brings the total number of off-road accident fatalities in the Imperial dunes to six this season. Two Californians were killed in fatal accidents on Halloween weekend.

Taylor said there were about 150 medical responses in the dunes as of Sunday morning. "But I think that number is going to go way up once we get all the stats in," he said.

Officials from CHP, BLM and ICSO said there were a high number of DUI violations in the dunes this weekend and will release those statistics today.

Two of the fatalities are being investigated as alcohol-related.

Macken said that high winds and low visibility in the dunes this weekend were not a likely significant factor in the high fatality rate this weekend.

But J.D. Davis of Mesa, who came to the dunes with his family and his dune buggies, said that he had to leave the Glamis area to come to Gray's Well this weekend because of high winds and low visibility in Glamis.

After reading that artical, all I can do is shake my head. It's ******** like that that ruin the dunes for everyone else.

I Know #### happens but if all you're going to do is to get totally **** faced and then try to ride, you dont need to be riding.

I've been going out there since I was born and riding since I was 4. I was taught how to ride safe and Knock on wood, nothing too bad has happened.

This is just stupid. If you know how to ride the dunes, you ALWAYS slow down when coming to the top of a dune and turn to the side just to make sure you arent going to go flying off the other side. I'm sorry but stupid people in the dunes really piss me off.

I'm done now. I just needed to get that off my chest.
