Glamis Dunes Part 3

Chapter 4

See previous [part 1]    Don't miss [part 2]

My individual theories presented here are not a coincidental three part story. Instead, presented a little more chronologically.    Part 1 was about children that enjoyed playing in sand piles because sand piles were a new and fantastic experience. People have been exploring new territories since the beginning of our modern times – merely 50000 years ago[1]. What has changed dramatically? In an incredibly increased at a geometrical rate of changes in us and our environment.  In other examples of the rate that things change in our world, have things changed more in the past 500 years compared to its previous 45,000 years? I think our world's changes of anything are also getting scarier at the existing geometric rate. How long is that going to last or will it at all?

Our entire history is a lot like my own's life span. When I was young the world was a beautiful place. Then things always get worse. Things change more rapidly that they did 10000 years ago, Do you have a different opinion? [3]

Take any basic data that you like and will enable you to “calculate” a lot of modern miracles. (This method explains any 'miracles' differently) For example, the human population has increased which mathematically coincides with the increase in the American debt. There is also a correlation to the availability of new territorial adventures[2,3].    Like everywhere on this earth, California began the same way as anywhere such as North America which was taken over by the older Europeans or whomever. A lot has changed in the Californian territory[7] since my relatively small life time.

Chapter 5 - Dry Lake(Owens) and Pismo Beach and Glamis(Algodones) Dunes

I'm a SCUBA diver and I don't touch anything^[9] except water and sand.

Owens Lake we called "Dry Lake" when we didn't call it mud. It did rain for about an inch of water in this dry lake and that made the best mud surface for real 4-wheeling harmless fun.

A very long time ago I started off-roading by driving on a dirt trail in a desert that was located in the middle of nowhere known.  We preferred driving in the desert at night with a lot of self-provided lights.  Were we destroying nature's desert environment? That's when we came to a long strip of dirt in that desert probably put there by a bulldozer because it was completely flat.  We still don't know what that big road was.[5]  Was there a big deep hole in the middle of another nearby trail?

That white color is wind and dust and salt. Still no condos here.

Even then we knew a few tips about off-roading in weird places. Even with lights, if you can't see the road ahead, then stop. It was a big hole 20 feet wide and we didn't want to get close enough to look down that hole. Instead we threw a beer bottle into it and we never heard it hit anything. At that time in my life there were no cell phones and we didn't know where we were or that anyone could track us which they are able to these days (2016+). Somebody went where we did and never returned.  No one knew where he went. If he was lucky, he never knew either.[6]

Pismo Beach North(1970) Never ATVs here    Pismo Beach North(1970) Never ATVs here Pismo Beach North(1970) Never ATVs here

~1980 2005 Will Antarctica be crowded next? I doubt it    This example has already occurred in the rest of the world and this is certainly the last place it will happen?  Right?  Am I responsible for changes in anything? Yes, and so are you and the rate of world changes will decrease dramatically for future generations? How or why? Since we're already dying as usual, I feel the same as most of you. Do I care about the world's future when I'm dead? Nope.    Don't tell me about your advanced vision of the future. It had to happen and there is one way that it will happen and you won't like it and you can't prevent it either way that I know of.[4]

Same beach in a different viewing direction. In 1980 these looked the same empty beach as in the first photos. The difference is what we called future progress. This only identifies the first stages of our ruined environment. Everyone wants to live here or run your business but you wanted to be the first the and the only one. Who or what owned this beautiful land and beach where it would be a nice place to live or run your business? I've said this before a lot, “The world's increasing human population” is still ruining it. I have other blogs with duplication examples.

Chapter 6 - Glamis Dunes

Sattelite Picture of Glamis Yhose initial mysterious items changed to wind mills. Why? It's obvious. No sun. No living earth. No history. No future. The Glamis dunes looked like this in 1970. Still do. ATVs access is limited to different areas.      All of these pictures were taken in 1970 and are very similar. The first picture is from a satellite publicly available photo at an unknown date. I was in a job of reading satellites and this one is unintelligible. I can see a few lines. The left edge is the north direction. Before I   talk about ruining the desert by driving ATVs over the sand dunes then remember what else is in these pictures. A hundred years ago there was very little way of getting here. Then we built a road for some reason.    The line on the right is still a railroad.  In the 70's we were told that the train rails was the border of Mexico. No one cared. We just didn't want our ATVs to get stuck on the train rail and you know why.  Instead we put pennies on that track and let the train squash them.    Then the big black line in the middle of the picture running east and west was added. Trump didn't know it was there. Most other Americans didn't either. There is a reference to what this line[10] is. Chapter 7 Toys  When or if You Grow up, YOU pay for them. My first off road bike, 1970 I still have the first. Bikes in 2010+ haven't changed much  I mentioned from part 1 of this blog that we had always had toys that we used in our sandpiles. Now, these types shown are our newer toys. The fun has not decreased. The price has increased.  The first two are dirt bikes that haven't changed a lot in forty years and they are physically the safest toys. Why? The worst is crashing yourself and landing in a much softer terrain instead of driving to work on a street motorcycle on a harder concrete freeway with other bigger cars.  There are a lot fewer other drivers in the middle of nowhere and a lot fewer drunk drivers which is much safer for you.    The other two are what people used to call buggies. Maybe old people still do. I call them sand rails. The main reason is these contraptions where designed and built with steel pipe and an acetylene welder. You needed an engine and an acelerator pedal. The rest are accessories. My first older car - not plastic Sand rails. These are not buggies. More exspensive than the red one. Did not have pedals. Home Made with steel and acetylene welder. My first tricycle. Driven by three year olds were the similar problem. my wife's first ATV tricycle. That's why the ATVs with three wheels are no longer sold My second tricycle. Looks harmless. It hasn't been used yet. These tricycles required a lot of driving skill. That's the other reason they're not sold.    The first picture was my first tricycle. The second was from Japan with a different engine propulsion. Both models were very mechanically tough. The difference is that both could be used by children who didn't need a license like a motorcycle or car.  The third one was ridden by a very skilled operator.  That's why these are no longer sold.  I'll tell you why a little later.    The immense story of humans began - who knows when? On all occasions we had to travel. In most children that began by crying, crawling, walking or swimming (Mostly Hawaiians).    Some history versions hypotheses that bicycles were invented first.  I think that was a good idea but then I realized that children were clumsy and were better suited for all when they were a greater distant apart from most living things.  The next idea occurred to those who wanted to make money earlier than expected, train children to experiment – that never ceased – and to experiment with something more dangerous than anything else.

Chapter 7 Agodones/Glamis Dunes

In this blog I have shown you a lot of great expanses of possible inhabitable territorial but unwanted nothings.  As always, then came the humans.  It seems that we ruin everything. There's only one thing we can do about it. There is no reason for anyone to care.    These sand piles are found in a lot of places in our world. Most of these places where uninhabitable by people.[11].    Things needed by people were not yet found: Water, food, roads, medical hospitals, gas stations and condominiums.  That will change.    In a proceeding story I told you about not many people being in some places in the no-wheres. Does anyone or committee or any group have any ideas about what 8 billion people do in their daily schedules? I don't even think there's a guess.    The '70s seem like ancient history.  We call this uninhabitable area Glamis. No one ever knew where this place was and there was no way to find this unknown place. Believe it or not only some of the old people had ever heard of maps or compasses. Our new generation had things that had never existed like roads in these harsh environments. The only way to get there was the follow someone that had accidentally discovered it.    When we went down there next to Mexico we brought everything we needed to ride the dunes day and night. We brought a little tent, bottled water, gasoline and our various transportation. As you can see in the photos there were no signs no lights or just plainly nothing. We could traverse geographically during the day by the sun pointing sort of east and west. Sometimes during the night with a new moon, finding your direction got a little more complicated.    At one time when there were hot and dirty families tented here and there. My friend Russ Deer provided a mew geographic known point. How? Remember, GPS a Cell phones did not exist. At one time there was a big K-Mart store that eventually bought Sears. K-Mart was a very large store even before Walmart. K-Mart had a rotating blue light put on a metal pole that was close to the ceiling that was targeting all customers to a specific and special sale. In some way, Russ “obtained” one of these great tall lights and took it to Glamis with us. People could see it from anywhere in the dunes in the middle of the night. We decided to sleep at midnight on some nights. Parents were aware that their kids or teens are planned to be lost out there somewhere. Amazingly, parents showed up after midnight and asked (or begged) for us to turn the light on for a little while longer.    Sometimes it's amazing how easy it is to really administer any selected society.

These are desert dunes or shopping centers. You could make money.

They're here the same way as the windmills except these don't make electricity.

No ATVs and rippled sand is back in a few days. Same deal with your freeway. Recovery just takes longer.

Dunes are dunes. Different ATV's. Saharas' camels.

Comparison Meeting - That's all

The Glamis dunes were a larger area than this picture that we called Main Street.  It was like the main area in NY called city center where everyone conjugated for most holidays.    That picture is not New York but it is a place that mysteriously showed up jn the 1979 National Geographic magazine. Usually on weekends or day holidays people showed up here for a few reasonsI had to go to a place that was called a library to find this 1979 copy of National Geographic and those are my friends and I who are unidentified because we were looking at what the photo was intended and it's a good photographer because she was exposing real film for twenty seconds and still getting a good picture.    This place was called “Main Street” because everyone was there on weekends or holidays doing what some would call ruining the desert.    I have two responses other than “yes”.  #1: The dunes are still the same as the ones shown above because the windmills are still turning and all of the pictures that I've shown in this entire series except for one thing  #2: The word population is about 8 billion (human). The following are simple examples, Where do you get your food. Where do you live? Do most of you drive something for your transportation. Have you ever used roads or trails. Have you ever been in hospitals, gas stations, dentists, or stores where you buy whatever you seem necessary?    O.K. Then where do all of these sub-examples exist. If you live on earth, then you are the same environmental problem as anybody else.  If you disagree then exactly how are you are a better living anything? Do you really think so?    I'll be dead pretty soon. Your worries wont go away. There are ten more to replace me. (Oh, I don't have any children!)

See next part 2 and finally Part 3 [part 2]    Don't miss [part 3]

In previous blogs I've always said that humans only live to do just two things. [1 mine]   Now I think there might be some other divergences.   I'll begin with a few simple examples of what every living thing on this earth want to do for any number of reasons.  In our history our motivations have always been the same as everyone else.  We want to go somewhere new.  Why?  Ask any living creature because, according to penned animals, “The grass is always greener on the “other side”.  Is that other inaccessible grass really better?  No.  Ask men and they like, “There's always a bucket of gold at the end of the rainbow.” Well, they're right.  There always is.

Chapter I

Here's how the same motives begin for most people.  What happens next or, worse yet, what will happen in the distant future?[4]   Let's see.  When I was a child I discovered strange machines that dug holes to install something new called a sewer.  I didn't care.  I was more interested in the holes and what came out of the holes.   Kids played with anything and depending on your age, that can mean anything like a pile of sand.  For some people, that motive for adventure never went away.

That first picture is what we called a Trench-Digger and it dug trenches very well and it was eventually replaced with the backhoe that dug more types of holes.  After someone used the trench for something, it was reburied with the sand in the second picture.  It was sand instead of dirt because sand did not compress together when a new road was rebuilt on top of it.  I know this is complete trivia because I studied this sewer installation process very carefully.  Children did what they do with a pile.  Climb it until the pile is spread out.  That is what the third picture is all about.

During my life's short experience the last picture contained something that was also new.  Girls in "our" pile.  Why, because they had the following thought.  Those pests are always “in trouble” with their mom and dad for continuously performing anything that was absolutely intolerable by their parents.  In general, should we do the same disastrous things?  Yep.

This last picture demonstrates what I have described in this blog. Nearly everyone are drawn to any risky adventure. This picture is pretty much the same as the above scenes. The difference is the same as any child used to have in school recesses. This little sand pile is a miniature sand-box version but is prepared by older people who wanted something that was “safe” and inviting by the pre-included toys and signs that are illegible by kids. So, no enticed children are here. No one. I know where they are instead.

Chapter 1 - Post Script

Just like cattle, we all want anything better and that means new and unknown.  Does anyone disagree?  Everyone thinks that our better “modern mankind” has been doing exactly the same thing for 200,000 years.[2]   That's why Columbus and Lewis and Clark discovered our new world and the following explorers wanted to go to the west coast.[3]  Why?  Because that's as far as the “new” land lasts.  Since 1848, guess what the rainbow followers found in California?  (Officially: The golden state)

Link to part 2 - Soon

The next blog represents Part 2 of this series.  I will add what modern folks did in the off-roads of our world.  It has always been done and it no longer will be.  You and I both know why.  My father tells me about not having electricity or radios or refrigerators or washing machines or TV or computers.  Things still change.  They don't frighten me.  Who cares if you care? We're all going to be dead anyway.  Do you want to argue about that?  Good.  That's funny.  Have fun.... Next part 2 link is here

Glamis Dunes Part 2

Chapter 2

See previous [part 1]    Last Glamis Dunes [part 3]

I'll stick with my correlated series theme.  Since Lewis and Clark were moving family homes they still couldn't drive a wagon wheeled trailer through here.[3]  These places are close to some of America's first national parks: Sequoia and Yosemite in 1890.[1][2]

The world's original explorers traveled to new places primarily on horses because there were no cars.  There were not the roads that we drive on now and so we're not exploring anywhere anymore.  There are still what we call "off-roaders".  All of us are environmentalists and we insist that driving anywhere there aren't any roads are ruining our world.  I agree and I'll explain our problem.  This started in [part 1] with children playing in sand piles.  This example featuring “exploration” has always existed.   These ancient places represent something we once called hiking.  Where? Anywhere that there were no people.  We acted just like monkeys or tigers.  We're all animals and we all want our territory.   Hikers went wherever they could without any modern “needed” weapons.  We saw other people once or twice a week carrying their own trash out too.  Bears are just like humans without trash.  First, leave a mother with her cubs alone.  Second, leave any bear alone.  No problem.  We dipped any water we needed right from the stream or lake.  We burned any firewood that we needed for our existence.

This hiker is in the middle of nowhere.  Sometimes the only water is in a canteen.You don't have to bring food but most do.  No roads.  No human trails.  Mostly no rain or snow.  Yes, there are other types of terrain. Originally I figured this would be a great place for a date with some certain friends.

This was a long time ago and there were state parks too.  Since these pictures are historic but maybe now there are roads and condominiums on the hills.  I've seen similar situations that have already happened and are happening now.  Why are we ruining our world? The number of hikers who venture into places that are very difficult to reach on foot hasn't increased much.  Other people types have increased.  Most of them live in bigger cities that are covered by snow , floods or earthquakes.

A common term used by normal people who call those "special" vehicles "4-wheelers".  I think they meant "4-wheel drive".   I too lived in Colorado.  I was in a remote part of the state during times when there were no asphalted roads that we used to get home.  Yeah, that's the problem.  People do have to live somewhere, so why not in the middle of nowhere – in our untouched environment so far?   Most off-roaders historically used 4-legged transportation.  Those were horses.   Suddenly, the major problem with our existence appeared immediately.

Chapter 3

It depends on who you ask and when.  The poopulation(sic) stats are estimations.  The shapes of the graphs are correct.[6] Mother Nature can provide us with a nasty disease.[7] Otherwise look at the facts.  I can be a crude man but I'm not today.  I don't care if you're Republican, Democrat or anything.  You have to agree - This is the entire world's biggest fucking problem.[5] (literally)

The last of Chapter 3 and/or Chapter 4 Premise

This is our government's brilliant safety advice[8]

Occasionally not-maintained snow covered my Colorado dirt roads.  I paid attention when I drove a 4-wheeler in the Colorado mountains because if your vehicle was still on the road most people took that for granted.  Otherwise you might “accidentally” drive off of the road instead.  The sides of roads in the mountains were cliffs.   People think that any car is still under control on any state's freeways despite unknown environmental surprises.    In the next series part III, I will detail about concurrently ruining our world's environment.  A lot of people think that off-roading is easy, I know better than that and I'll talk about that.  I imagine that explorers like Lewis and Clark might have experienced the same things.  That's our world's history.  It still happens now but a lot does change.   For example, the pictures on the left are some hot, dry and nasty places in California.  Are these similar to the mountain pictures? A few do think so.  The first two are from a place named “Death Valley”.  The second is also a hot place in the south.  The only thing that geographically separates the U.S.  And Mexico are train rails.  That last sign is visible from both directions.  Americans don't cross those train tracks much.  Why? Americans think that their rattlesnakes are meaner.  I don't know if that's a fact.   Remember the “Wagon Wheelers” – they were the original “somethings”.   In the damn good 'ole years there was some exciting off road vehicleing.  I think that there are a lot of reasons that off-roading has declined and will disappear quickly.

Post Script   One previous related blog.

As I mentioned above there are 7 billion human animals in this world and our population is still increasing.  By some of my crude math I divided the livable land territory and that leaves about 2 acres for each person (minus land for other animals and farming for just you – among a lot of others).   If you get bored, there are pictures from others on Facebook that featured the cool places to live.  Everyone have different opinions.
