This is not a naxja event. I'm posting it because I know lots of people were interested in the camping aspect of Jeepin' so I thought I'd oblige by giving an opportunity to come camping with probably 50+ vehicles...from my van to tricked out expedition trucks.
ps: The "rules" were not my idea :compwork:.
SoCal Desert Rendezvous 2011
DATE: Friday and Saturday nights, March 18th and 19th 2011

LOCATION:
Primary Camp Coordinates-
33* 36'11.7 N
115* 31'58.5 W
Alternate Camp Coordinates-
33* 35'92.3 N
115* 32'20.4 W
Comm Plan:
Ham: 146.520 simplex calling

Repeater on Chuckwalla Mountain;
145.380 (-) 162.2 W6DRA
CB: Ch 38 for calling
FRS for short range Ch 3 tone 8
The Vision:
1. No Fees: Come as you are!
2. Laid Back: No schedule other than the date.
3. Mountain Man Rendezvous meets Overland Meet and Greet.
4. Swap Meet: Bring things to trade or sell or barter (this is NOT a commercial event!).
5. Meet People: Network, maybe teach each other a few things and check out cool rigs.
6. Real Fireside Chat: With a real fire. Share food and beverages of your choice.
7. Desert Rendezvous Cleanup : We aim to pack out more than we pack in!
The Ground Rules:
1. Common Sense.
2. Respect for Others.
3. Self Sufficiency.
4. Tread Lightly.
5. Leave it better than the way we found it!
6. Speed limit in camp is 5 mph, strictly enforced for safety (kids, dogs). Make no dust.
7. Quiet time in camp is 1100 PM: indoor voices please. Non-compliant over-consumers will be snatched up and quarantined in their sleeping bags via duct tape and nylon rope and released at 0800
- The intent is to be inclusive and promote max participation - this means family friendly, dog friendly (supervised/common sense), and we won't turn anyone away for AZ or NV plates so long as they bring firewood. (J/K)
- Please note well in advance that this will NOT be a commercial event, that there will NOT be fees, and that there will NOT be support facilities (toilets, water, shore power etc).
- Please note that the basic concept is an overnight meet and greet and, while all are welcome, this is NOT a toy hauler/quads/trailer queen/rock buggy/'wheeling event (See Tierra Del Sol, Glamis, Hammers etc for the "party" atmosphere) - this is family friendly camping in the desert and will be quite mellow.
- Please note that all trash collected during the Cleanup is the responsibility of the individual to remove; this is not a commercial event so dumpsters will NOT be provided. All trash collected must be packed out by the individual attendees and the area left spotless!
DISCLAIMER:
A. COME PREPARED - SELF SUFFICIENCY (VEHICLE AND SELF) AND THE CAPABILITY TO TREAD LIGHTLY WILL BE THE ONLY REQUIREMENTS TO ATTEND.
B. YOU ASSUME ALL LIABILITY FOR YOURSELF. PLAY AT YOUR OWN RISK ON PUBLIC LANDS.
C. WE REPRESENT THE PORTAL COMMUNITY AND WILL ADHERE TO OUR COMMUNITY STANDARDS OF CONDUCT.
D. ANYONE WHO CANNOT WILL BE ASKED TO LEAVE.
