Merlin- you are 2 months older than me- i would absolutely love to have the life to be your neighbour in the area ! Growing up we had the same- seatbelts optional- floorpan- acceptible- pickup bed- love it ! I didnt have the luxury to grow up with greasemonkeys in my life- i wish- i tried to instigate them but nope- Seeing your vid's - absolute Chickensoup for the soul ! 38 min on about who came from where- good stuff- the 2 lads from Oklahoma (?) GOOD CHOICE- i would be headed off-road wrecker too eyes wide open excited and all - but then hearing Paul et all was coming to meet up with you ..... hmmmm - "Siri- map me quickest route to Glamis" awwww over so quick- thankfully there's Paul's take on this ! Happy Birthday Merlin !

Me Too Brother, a week away from 67 and I try to let the young guys know to take care of themselves Now so life will be smoother when they get older, I push Nutrients and things like Zinc, 2 kinds of Magnesium and real Vitamin C Not the synthetic ascorbic acid as it lacks too much. Selenium, and Vitamin D3 Chelated if possible and these main supplements can and DO make a big difference. Most Men over 40 are deficient in Magnesium and Zinc, over 3000 enzymatic reactions in the body from these 2 nutrients are Very important.

My friend and I went their on a regular basis in the early 60's It was sand buggies made for Corvairs and VW's, There was a small store with gas pumps, the gas pumps had the glass cylinder that you hand pumped the amount amount of gas that you paid for into the glass cylinder then it could gravity out into your gas tank or or gas can. It was a blast every time we went there.

I remember when we first started going to glamis and starting out with pan buggies and short travel rails. Then building a custom mid engine stainless high jumper car, 1914 turbo, custom mid travel. Then all the way to the v8 long travel car, makes me miss the old days catching a razorback and the frame shoveling 100lbs of sand into your lap.

I went to Pink Coral Sand Dunes back in 81, and the very first night I endowed my buggy off a razor back dune. Only damage was to the muffler, so got it welded up in town. Had a great time there, and even did some driving locally to see some cliff art. I highly recommend Pink Coral if you want a great set of dunes in the red sand of Utah.

A friend in need is a friend in deed, Happy Birthday Merlin. It starts with a sand rail and ends with you mortgaging the house to buy a new gearbox for your 120 inch desert racer and an entry form for the Baja 1000. you won't regret a minute of it but you wished the house was worth more so you could afford a new motor. Only 29 hours from Ensenada to La Paz in a back breaking swinger. Awesome vid Merlin.

Out here in Dublin, NH was a place called Worcesters Antique Auto Restoration. He specialized in Model A fords. The owner died a couple of years ago. I always wondered what was in the barns. The other day as I was driving by I got my answer. Trailers were being loaded with all the parts that were in them. Tons of everything. You would have had a field day. Same guy started the Dublin Gas Engine Meet back in 1971. Still goes on to this day. I love watching and listening to a hit or miss engine do its thing.
