I saw someone get pretty beat up 30 minutes into the poker run. I didn't see my first big injury until about 1.5 hours into the race. I believe the race is a bit safer than the poker run.

That being said, I'm doing both.

So, its less than a month until the Desert 100. I am wondering how many gassers will be there from this forum? It would be great to have several gassers campsites lined up.

I go by myself, sleeping in my VW. It would be great if i was able to park next to some one else, that I knew. Even if its just from the forum at the beginning of weekend. Also since campfires are not allowed, I am wondering if anybody has one of the gas firepits? They sell them at cabella's for $100,but its not in the budget this year. It does get pretty darn cold at night out there.


If you haven't been to the event, its a great weekend. I hate to miss it. There is live music at night, Cold beer, A free shuttle into town-(restaurant,bar), vendors, etc

I will be heading out there friday morning, takes my van about 5.5 hrs to get there. Last year i met a couple gasgas guys at the hi-way rest stop,but couldn't find them during event-Its BIG!
SO who's planninbg on going at this point?

We are rolling out of Seattle Friday morning around 9:00 AM, ETA noon. We will have a village set up with heat and cover as well as food and other sundries. Drop me a note before the date and I'll give you our cell numbers. Let me know if you want to caravan over, we could possibly haul your bike if given enough notice (need to configure the trailer).

I will message you, when the date gets closer. That would be much more fun to camp near someone I know. Caravanning over sounds like a good idea.. but I would slow you guys down over the passes/Colombia river with my van.

So maybe I will try to get an earlier start, and meet up at one of the rest stops. Or in Odessa. hmmm..

Another good spot is Ephrata on highway 283, last real stop for gas and grub before you get to the campgrounds.

Its nice to have a small motorcycle to get around on.
Also, anyword on a propane firepit. they work great,keep the trailer worm.they cost $110 at cabella's.

I am just bringing generator, single burner stove,coffee pot,e-zup,case water,case beer, tarps, riding gear.

anything I am forgetting?

Anything self-contained that can be "turned off" are ok, like a propane campfire-in-can sorta thing. I think the Stumpies frown on pit bikes, but you can PM mx813(D100 chairman) for specifics via Thumptalk.

If you can get the bike to my place in Shoreline Thursday evening we can make room for it. Send me a PM to get my address.

Like Bowhunter stated, contact Mike (MX813) on Thumpertalk.com for fire restrictions as well as pit bike considerations. As stated, the fire source has to "turn off."

Its going to be a great weekend, I plan on having all my stuff ready to go, tomorrow night.

Embarrassing- to everybody that seen this original post,that is why it is bad to get on internet after taking your Ambien sleep medication. Sorry for that random post.
