glamis2008 208.jpgA group of friends travelled south near the border of Mexico and California.

The area is also known as the Imperial Sand Dunes, which is over 118,000 acres of desert dunes.

Flags are a big thing at Glamis, for offroading in dunes in general. Actually its required, as it helps drivers see other vehicles over dunes, as collisions happen.

Oldsmobile hill is a massive steep hill which 4x4's test their might and attempt to conquer the hill.

Notice the flags, lots of Mexican flags. As we are near the boarder of Mexico in these photos.

Some geared up riders waiting around.

Sand rails are like dune buggies but can go really fast. They have massive headlamps that allow them to offroad at night.

looks like a great experience

If this blog entry was given a title it would be "what happens to die hard mario cart fans when they grow up"

@ryulincoln thats a good way to think of it it, some peoples outfits are pretty outrageous too. Many spiked mohawk helmets and skull face masks. There were some sweet rigs out there.

hi freedomcoin my steemit @yusuf93 just hacked, there was someone who told me to click bid and i click and enter password, suddenly can not enter again ...

this is a very sad day for me

hey @yusuf93/@hadid,

Wow that really sucks. But try a few things, as many of my friends have had this problem.

  1. Clear your browser settings and copy your private posting key to your clipboard.
  2. Go back to Steemit.com and type in your username and paste in your password. If you are on a computer its a good idea to paste the password into a word editing app like notepad or word to make sure theres no spaces or formatting in the password that may make it invaild. As you would not know because of the ****** symbols covering the password.
  3. If those do not work try from a different browser or computer, by copying and pasting your private posting password again.

Going forward only use your posting key, as signing in with your master password can allow people to take control of your account using phishing.

seems no more hope I've tried, and who hacked two people, why are they so bad! what will be taken from my account that is nothing!

okay thanks you very much freedomcon, i hope you be careful when someone offer something.

sorry freedomcoin I can not upvote your punyak again. and I wish you success in steemit.

and thanks again for your upvote to me all this time.

see you again by @yusuf93

Ive been downvoting your hacked account if that is of any help, seems you have others doing the same.

Yeah really sucks to have that happen, please do not use your active or master password to login to steemit. If you use a posting key as login, the hacker cannot lock you out. Wont help you now, really sorry for your loss. If you come back with new account let me know, ill remember you.

Thank you very much @freedomcoin for your efforts. I feel sad that we can not share each other again.
okay do not worry @freedomcoin if i go back later do not forget to provide upvote that much for me ya and all sbd also haha ..😂😂😂 just kidding

see you later in my new account later

By @yusuf93

this is my brother's account

Passed a few days since your last post, I guess. :D
Wow, at first I thought there are only a few buggies, cars,... but actually there are hundreds, maybe even one k? Not really?
What vehicle did you drive? Car, quad,...
Cheers brother!

@gandalfthewhite You're right, ive been busy building a new Steemit profile. Please find me on @solominer as im slowly transitioning to it.

It was in the tens of thousands on Presidents day at Glamis when I took these photos, maybe in the hundreds of thousands now a days. The place is a gem of the West coast, besides Pismo as @csusbgeochem1 mentioned.

I just rode along with some friends in his Jeep Wrangler, kinda wished I had something to ride around at the time. But since I had my camera I just tried to take as many photos as possible.

Alright! Followed it. (; So you have two accounts now or what will happen to this one? And you have two phones? :D
Kk, looks lit my friend.

Once I get my follower count up on @solominer I plan on transferring my SP to there and use mostly @solominer.

Ill keep @freedomcoin as a backup if I ever have an issue with my new account.

K, may I ask why you created a second account? I mean what is wrong with this one? (:

Its kind of an experiment to see if I can grow a steemit account without having a high value. I want to see my interactions with people on Steemit when they see a small account value vs, a larger account value. Also, having a 2nd account is a hedge in this space if in a hard fork they block self upvoting.

? But everyone starts with 25 reputation or what do you mean exactly? This account of you right now started with 25 as well, did not it?
K, that makes more sense to me. ;D

wow I love that, nice adventure

@ysrizal me too! It was a fun few days.

Sound like a good time! I have not been to glamis but this photo of my truck was taken at pismo beach near Santa Barbra. Random flags everywhere. Enjoy!

@csusbgeochem1 It was a blast, the sound of those sand rails with 500+ HP was just amazing. And at night their lights just cut through the darkness. Before I left California I wanted to goto Pismo, looks like alot of fun. I hear some people stray too far into the beach and get their trucks stuck easy. Hopefully the tide does not come in.. hah! When I return to California visiting Ill probably make a point to goto Pismo.

Sweet truck and flag, big rig mudflap style.

Hey if you can make it to Pismo when you come back it is definitely a site to see. I would think getting stuck at pismo is no more than getting stuck in glamis but i could be wrong. The tide stays to the beach, the dunes expand out. Thanks! I love my 4runner yet it is garage ridden at the moment, tranny took a shot and i figured id switch to dual cases wile replacing it.
