Dunes..... They are wierd.... couldn't get a good run going in the smaller dunes..bigger ones were not too bad to run in We are right by that hole at the top of Banshee If you look hard in the upper left you can see two black spots.. those are these people who first off stopped by us at the finger dune, get out of their car and start raking.. yes I said raking.. the top of the finger dune.. about an hour or so later there they are hiking to the top of thhe dunes.. with the rake.. he is pulling her along with the rake.. they make it to the top.. and start raking up there. Kinda blurry but there they are.. Rest of the dune pics

Holy..... what an AWESOME weekend!!!! Dune in June?? Who would have thought!!! Sat mornings ride was a little on the chilly side with some nice over cast clouds! Didn't need to take the long riding pants off till 3:00ish when I was done riding the quad or the day!! Dunes are wierd.. forming d shaped shelves that come at you at what seems to be no where! They look all rounded and the on the other side....drop off! Our friend Steve learn his lesson quick on Friday eve's run out to comp.. coming back..following that ledge that is there right next to the dunes.. well it ends abruptly in a 4-5 foot drop! He decided to go off that drop. I was right behind him and all of a sudden nothing but rear tires in the air... I hit the breaks and slowly slide down next to him.. a little shaken.. nothing broken. All is good! There is a huge hole.. bigger then a witches eye that has formed at the top of Banshee.. so you guys going out next weekend.. BE CAREFUL! You can't see that thing at all when you come up on it and its deep! New car rides like slicing through butter!! Comp has whoops going from the bottom where everyone runs right up to the top.. doesn't seem like its even hat steep anymore... I was even able to stop and take some pics from up there. The old side where they used to run though is smoooooth and nice and steep! The road sucks! Broke our shock hoop coming in. The only real thing that sucked about duning in June.... THE FLIES!! There were a few other like us out there! Temp when we left today was 85 at noon and it was warmer today then all day yesterday! When we checked temps yesterday it was 72 11:00ish..had a nice breeze blowing the whole time with an occasional gust! Pics to follow... but I really really need a new camera!

I talked to the weather Gods and made these cooler temps in June cause I get so lonely all summer.. please visit me... I think the weather Gods are going to turn back up the heat next week"

Maybe someone needs to buy this book.. Written by Harry P. Gower who was a long time Death Valley pioneer and this book is full of anecdotes and stories of what he experienced between the years of 1909 to 1960. If nothing else I am getting a great history lesson on Death Valley with all this Googling ans researching! Good topic

Fine I will put up some dark a$$ dirty pics. It really needs to be seen in person if you are not familiar with trick cars. I have been just looking it over all mooring and it is just built so well. I can barley reach the pedals cause it is so big. I forgot to log Jodi out so this getting posted under her.

I knew what you ment! :dumbass: Mike did an awesome job of working his way into getting what we set out to pick up! Every trade was well calculated. Some times I wondered if he had made the right moves, but I have learned that I shouldn't question him, he knows what he is doing! Ahhhh.. I have been :dumbass: pacing the driveway!!
-
Hmmm.... I may have to chaeck this out as well sometime soon! Whats the cost to get in the gate?

Is that the time OPS goes on or the time it starts??

Sorry I beat you to the punch Thunda Stealer! He still sent that pic to you first! Yeah come on over anytime this week.. I think we are hitting up sushi one night but thats about it! And thanks! I have a feeling that we are going to love it to! There are so many cars that we were looking at and going over, we had several that we really liked, there are so many good ones out there, I was actually leaning slightly more towards a Funco.. but for both of us this one kept coming back up and we kept returning to it over and over. It just really had everything we were looking for and I have been in the Trick shop when I lived in Yucca and they just really are an awesome operation!
