Please come join the Friends of Dumont Dunes for this event. Dumont needs it more after this crazy busy year. Its been heartbreaking to see all the posts of trash left behind. It looks like this year is going to be a great one! Hot BBQ lunch for everyone who participates! Quick draw raffle prizes, 1 ticket for every trash bags gathered. The prizes are still rolling in! There are several prize packages being donated from shops, businesses and individuals in the off road community! Trophies for the most bags gathered for individual and group, largest item found and strangest item found! DM me if you want to donate prizes from the Las Vegas area and can't make the event, for a pick up or one of the drop off locations.

Sad to hear this news. Thoughts go out to the family and friends.

I'll be out helping with whatever is needed. I'm also the point of contact for anyone wanting to donate prizes from Las Vegas, that can't make it to the clean up event. I'll be available the next few weeks to meet up and collect donations. If you need me to get your donation picked up shoot me a DM! I'm also personally donating some "kid friendly" prizes. The kiddos always get overlooked when it comes to the prize fun, but they're always so eager to help out!

Ways to stay alive at Dumont
sand chick replied to dunefreak's topic in Dumont Regulations, Safety & BLM
With all the newbies seen at halloween this year, it's time again to bump this post from cobweb land... Don't jump in someone's line passing them like your in an off road race... If you want to race and pass people, build your rig for that and take it to the track... Saying this for the a-hole in a white RZR pro 🖕who literally did that to our line... Thankfully we have radios and we were warning each other as he blindly came up on our right side passing and cutting us all off inches away. If I would have drifted right at all it would have been over... Take a different line, there's plenty out there! -
Halloween 2020 weekend reports: post your pics

I think it was more packed then in the boom of 2005-2007 when everyone bought sandcars on credit before the 08 crash. Looked like everyone used their stimulus checks for down payments on a SxS. It was off the hook. Hoping for a good quiet Veterans weekend. 🤞 Had one dude in a RZR pro literally weaving around the cars in our entire line, if I would have drifted up inches, it would have been over. -
I'll be there, just an overnight stay Friday night, sleeping in the Outback to help out the clean up and then back home after on Saturday. My ride isn't done being fixed yet.

I'm pretty sure I saw you flying around up there, while I was hanging out near memorial hill.

It was a damn good weekend!

We arrived on Thursday night to dark dunes and a light breeze. Friday morning brought smooth buttery dunes and fast dune runs. Lots of drop offs and shelves. There are a few groups out this weekend, laying down some good tracks. Fresh ripples all over with no tracks at all. -
The dreaded W blew all night and looks to be continuing today. Maybe Monday's predicted storm rolling in early?? Sand is saturated and is slidy and then tons of hook up. Camp area is pretty sparse, filled in a little last night, but definitely not a huge crowd. -
Merry Christmas from Dumont! I hope you all had a great time! Today was a good day with some dune grooming. Not too crazy, just enough to smooth out the lighter tracks. We spent most of the day kicking back with Christmas movies, like Krampus and making cookies, then riding in the afternoon. JoeDuner arrived later in the afternoon and we went for another run. Then it was back to the home for a full spread of ham, mashed potatoes, gravy, rolls, stuffing, broccoli and pie. Now that the gluteny is over it's time for cocktails by the fire! -
Love being out here Christmas week. After sitting in the moho most of the morning, we finally uncovered the vehicles and cruised the dunes. Hit up the swing set and cruised to the South Pole. Today its quiet and cloudy, we had a slight sprinkle, now it is just cloudy. Time to chill with a movie and a cocktail. -
What a great start to Christmas week at Dumont! Arrived mid morning, unloaded the X3's and decorated the moho for Christmas. Exchanged presents with our CA family and then set out to tear up the sand. Mike got me a new set of Eibach springs, so I couldn't wait to try them out. I can't believe how much smoother my ride was with a new set of springs and a shock adjustment. Sand still had some good lines laid out from last weekend's buggy round up. Found some friends to line up with. It was good getting rides in with others before we settle in for the week with just one more hauler. Cold and cloudy. -

It's pretty cool. NO I'm not going to give coordinates! Part of the fun is in the finding of it. It's even nicely lit up at night.

I'll make sure to get pics and a report this weekend

Had to get up early and hit up the dunes, so we didn't miss the ride time. Yesterday it got toasty, and today is supposed to be hotter. But we're still at Dumont and having a great time! Didn't have to run the AC, but probably will today. Great morning and evening runs. Still shelfy. -
Just got back from the cocktail sunset run. The dunes are definitely "summer dunes" big shelves and witches eyes. But buttery smooth virgin dunes. Maybe tomorrow we'll stop where I can get pics. -
Great vid! That is almost our exact favorite run too!
-
Heading that way now! Get a full day of riding before the clean up begins!
