NEXT WEEKEND KIDS!
See you all at Dreamland Station!
****BUGS!!!!****
Ick! Yesterday we were out doing some DPW work and there were all these icky little black flying bugs!!!
So BRING BUG SPRAY!!!
***WEATHER OUTLOOK***
Forecast says sunny and in the high 80's/low 90's with lows being in the high 40's. It was HOT yesterday and got cool very quickly after dark.
***WOOD & FIRES***
Please come to Operations in the DPW Camp for more info on wood you can get for free very nearby the site.
DO NOT collect any wood onsite without permission from the DPW first! We are going to try and get wood out to the 3 firepits that have been approved for the ground fires at night. Portable burn pits are allowed and are recommended if you want to have a fire and you are camping in the Sand wash. Low Impact Camping areas are *all fire free* that means no fire pits, no candles, no lanterns that have open flames, tiki torches etc...
****BORDER PATROL CHECKPOINTS!****
Strongly suggest travel going to Decom via the posted directions(Hwy 8 east to Jacumba exit - see Survival Guide). Any other way, you will have to pass through BP checkpoints. Coming home you just cannot avoid them - they are on Hwy 8(at Pine Valley), 94 & 80 going west.
***The Desert View Tower and Boulder Park is another really great place to visit - it is East of the Jacumba exit (past the BP checkpoint) off In-Ko-Pah Park Road. Very cool place to visit with its animals rocks, the historical tower itself with its new "stairway to nowhere"!
****PLACES TO STOP ALONG THE WAY****
Bathrooms: Alpine gas stations, Buckman Springs Rest Stop, Golden Acorn Casino
GAS: Alpine and GOlden Acorn Casion are your last stops and cheapest alternatives before getting to Jacumba.
GROCERIES/LAST MINUTE STOPS: Alpine is your best bet - you can see the Albertson's off the Alpine Blvd. exit from Hwy 8 going East.STRONGLY SUGGEST you stop in Alpine as the TINY market in Jacumba has VERY LIMITED ability to stock large amounts of anything and last year they ran out of ICE, WATER and some types of cigarettes & beer. We would prefer that you come SELF-SUSTAINED for the 3 day weekend and not rely on the market or the gas stations for supplies unless it is an absolute emergency. Golden Acorn also is a good stop last minute supply stop - their market is quite extensive since it is connected to the casino and is only 20 minutes from the Decom site.
****JACUMBA NOTES****
If you choose to leave the site to visit the spa, market, casino or Desert View Tower *PLEASE* remember you are going back into public! Get dressed in "regular" clothing, be nice to the neighbors & people in town and be relatively sober! Everyone is really nice however rather conserative in town and nudity/scanty dress and obnoxious behavior doesn't go over very well. *thnx*
***LAST MINUTE SALES***
Sales go on this year until the gates open at noon on Friday Oct. 16. This week they are $75 for those last minute planners! Entry to the event at the gate will be $100 CASH ONLY until dark on Saturday night.
***THINGS NOT TO FORGET***
Your PayPal receipt, YOUR ID (muy importante!), enough water and food to sustain yourself for 3 days, SUNSCREEN, BUG SPRAY and SHOES(NOT a barefoot event!).
See you all at Dreamland Station!
