And now, to ad some historic perspective to the area we are gathering in, here is the thread that started it all - for those here who do not know it, and those who forgot:
http://www.tikiroom.com/tikicentral/bb/viewtopic.php?topic=31832&forum=1
And if you thought THIS is all there was:
.....here's a little more eye candy about Gus Raigosa's desert Shangri-Las:
Of course, none of this was ever built. Amy, Ben and the Californian Tiki artists she is sponsoring have probably created more Tiki environs than there ever were out there. An amazing, crazy feat, up there with Salvation Mountain and other "out there" desert projects!
Amy said it's all dry desert dirt now, but I think I might go looking for the lost Lake Loreen...

One of the crew here lives next door to the former Lake Loreen. It's a fairly large off road area now, so bring your ATV Sven. The road in front of it is the former landing strip. It's just a bunch of holes with tracks on them.
Checking in with last night and today's weather here at Mojave Oasis:
9pm 60
10pm 54
11pm 56 windy
12am 54 windy
4am 50
7am 44
830am 60
10 am 64 breezy
11am 70 windy
1pm 76 breezy
Still gets a little cold in the early morning, so prepare yourself.
Buzzy Out!

Sven - I just spent an hour pouring over that thread and all the links. How fascinating to learn about the catalyst that sparked what will now surely be a treasured escape destination for tiki aficionados, AND the home to what will undoubtedly be a legendary annual event! I love that! Thank you for posting it, for those of us who hadn't followed the thread originally.

Find your own Pith Helmet Yet!
How'bout Your Nutz!?????????
Beginner's tip...
Some A-hole got the great idea to help the Gringos get de Cocos and started running their nuts over a table saw blade set extremely low...
Most Ralph's etc.. will have these jacked up nuts that will not add any favor to your game...
Hint: Most ethnic markets will have untouched nuts... good strong nuts...
happy

A few have asked the question: "Is there going to be food there, or do we need to bring our own?"
Answer: The grill will be open Friday 3-7, Saturday 8-3 and Sunday 8-3, so you don't need to worry about "over-shopping"!!! Oh yeah.....Nothing priced over $5!!!! Now that's affordable!!! And the outpost will be open odd hours to accomodate those with the munchies!!!

I'm really getting a "Tiki" Santa's Village vibe on this.
A concept so bizarre and out of place that even for a distant childhood memory I ask myself "Was it for real or did I just dream it ???".

Nice to know the outpost is '420-friendly', but (more importantly) (to me), what time is last call at the bar??
