Who's going to TDS this year?

It's going to be my first time and I'm looking forward to it. I know the timing is a little rough because it's the week after the Bradshaw run.

Celt and I ran into it once on accident as we didnt know it was going on. I dont see the appeal of a bunch of people packed into that area whoo seem to be perma buzzed driving around like idiots

 It really was a mess, too many folks driving around with beers in between their legs. Lots of really scary driving practices interspersed with dodging the motorcycles zipping around. The trail runs were like ants on an ant hill. I do hear they raffle off good prizes but I prefer to avoid the crowds. Picture Glamis on Thanksgiving weekend and that's kinda what this looked like to me.

Yeah, I won't be going on the sanctioned runs. We'll be on the outskirts and checking in on the chaos periodically.

Yea I've got a couple jeep friends that always try to drag me out to the big jeep events, I made the mistake of going to one at superstition and vowed it to be my last.  Too many idiots and too much of a dust bowl, I'll stick to going out there in the middle of summer when all the jeeps stay home cause it's too hot and they don't have air conditioning.

That A/C in the middle of ridiculous heat is sure a benefit of the X isn't it? Go from Oh dang it's gotdang hot to ahhhh, this is nice and comfortable all the while going over obstacles.

yea gotta keep the GF happy, i roll with the A/C blasting and the windows down

HMMMMM some how this seems less appealing to me , my Jeep friend has been telling me I should go, He has crunched his rig twice in 2 yrs LOL

It's a good time if you can find a place away from everyone otherwise you will hear engines revving all night long and rap music base beating through your skull blaring through the night from the drunk Bro's. Don't forget the drunk guys on bikes driving through your campsite at 0300. Kind of like camping near Hammertown during the KOH.
