Sounds like a big bash and a lot of fun with ear plugs a hot seller. <br />I grew up riding dirt bikes. Two nephews, a niece, my father and my brother all ride, the latter two only street bikes and quads now. The former 3 all dirt bikes, and quad riders.Snow mobiles were also a big part of our winters and in fact Jason & Leah are heading to British Columbia, Canada as I write, with their sleds and dirt bikes in tow. So the noise factor unless very great isn't really a concern for us, however thanks for the input. <br /><br />Take care, be safe, <br />DebOn a long and lonesome highway....https://www.blogger.com/profile/13585276461507236822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4220239671215406231.post-8052786738311422762018-12-27T11:27:33.291-05:002018-12-27T11:27:33.291-05:00Thanks for the information and pictures.

If you really want to see a large gathering, normally the first week of March the Tierra Del Sol Jeep club out of San Diego has a desert safari along with the San Diego Jeep Club. There will be thousands of jeeps and four wheelers. There are big tents, many vendors and very heavy traffic. It is set up at the OHV area on the Borrego Springs/Salton Sea HWY close to the Salton Sea end.

I thought the little fella was a howl. I could have spent an hour watching him get some confidence under his belt. The training wheels were new to me, I've never seen such a thing for a dirt bike. <br /><br />Take care, be safe, <br />DebOn a long and lonesome highway....https://www.blogger.com/profile/13585276461507236822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4220239671215406231.post-35445619245569494632018-12-27T10:33:50.936-05:002018-12-27T10:33:50.936-05:00Checking is free and we went with an open mind and...Checking is free and we went with an open mind and knowing there would be off roaders around. It is an excellent location close to Borrego Springs and not far from Brawley and I'm certain we will make use of it in the future. We have full bars for cell service (AT&T)and I'm pretty certain Verizon would work there although we didn't take the jet pack with us. <br /><br />Take care, be safe, <br />DebOn a long and lonesome highway....https://www.blogger.com/profile/13585276461507236822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4220239671215406231.post-40110534754924456122018-12-27T08:43:31.923-05:002018-12-27T08:43:31.923-05:00Good to know, Deb, thanks for sharing.
