RideShare This is a primitive camping event. While we are very close (~3mi) to Niland, which has a decently stocked general store, there are no facilities or resources at our camp, except what we bring with us. Porta-potties are being provided by your camp dues, but they need to be taken care of to last us all weekend. Plan to bring all the water, food, shelter, and medicine you will require for 3+ days in the desert. Dues Make sure to fill in the 'name' field if you want me to use a moniker other than your given name on the attendee list. First thing's first. Click above to pay your camp dues, which will go entirely to waste management and bonfire fuel. In the unlikely event of an excess of dues, they will be added to the bar's ample beer budget. If your name is not on the 'dues paid' list, you will not be served at the bar until you fork over your potty money. If you know you are going, please pay sooner rather than later - the cash for facilities is being floated out-of-pocket. Uncle Dak's Rant Quoted from MR.com forum...straight from the horse's mouth, (some emphasis mine). We need some of you experienced campers to EXPLAIN to people what this trip is not. It's not a drug fest bullshit rave, it's not some post apocalyptic nowhere land. PEOPLE LIVE THERE, it's PUBLIC LAND so it belongs to EVERYONE. Do NOT go there to TRASH IT. Do not go there thinking that someone will take care of you if you get yourself in trouble - YOU HAVE TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR OWN WELL BEING. If you walk into the WRONG CAMP, someone WILL SHOOT YOU. It is FUCKING TOO DANGEROUS TO GO WANDERING ON YOUR OWN, especially if you're TOO DRUNK or TOO DRUNK to know what is going on. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. Can someone PLEASE pass along and share this information to whatever Social Bullshit Network people have been "inviting" people with. </rant> Timeline This year's excursion to the 'Sea will take place on President's Day weekend. 'Facilities' will be available from Friday afternoon to Monday afternoon. There's a fashion show on Saturday at the range, high noon. After that, the annual trip to Bombay Beach will commence. A megaphone tribute to Tomatoes will be held at 5pm on Sunday, followed by his birthday party. There will undoubtedly be several other overlapping and intermingling 'events'.
