Sorry...at work all day. They're just quads? like ATVs? How come you need a high horsepower sandcar or helicopter for that? Hope you got out ok. It's gotta be hot out there.

Speaking of Peru...... Funny I posted this and just yesterday a guy I know through the Renner Freeride Tour back in the day, Steve Haugelstine, is in Peru right now working on a project. He posted up these pics on his FB. Incredible! I am super jealous. So at the elevation being 6817 ft on top of that huge dune, it is the tallest dune in the world at about 1200 feet from the base to the peak! That's like 2 and a half comp hills.

No official date set yet. The only day I could even possibly go in June would be Saturday the 25th or Sunday the 26th. I've got a ton going on in June.

A traffic light? In Baker? No, it doesn't mean Baker is booming enough to need one. It is simply being installed in front of the Baker Travel Center on Baker Blvd at Caltrans Avenue because it is a cheaper alternative for the gas station owner than the traffic mitigation fee already imposed by San Bernardino County. Apparently there was already an agreement for the owner to install the traffic light in order to get the business permit for the station. Because of Baker's remote location and lack of contractors to get the work done on time, it has taken 4 years for this to finally happen. So hopefully this traffic light doesn't back things up getting to Dumont. Only southbound I15 travelers from Vegas would go through this light as they get into Baker. CA vistors would not be affected. Just thought we'd spread the "breaking Baker news" with the community. forum discussion, http://www.dumontduneriders.com/invision/index.php?showtopic=20688 -
Woah Yep, it's real. Look at the miles and miles of dunes around that place. I doubt I'll ever go there in my lifetime, but in the meantime there's actually some Google Street View through a portion of it. Pretty damn cool. https://www.google.com/maps/@-14.0871052,-75.7621196,755m/data=!3m1!1e3?hl=en Check out the edge of town. haha

Expect to see a traffic light next time you roll through Baker. I don't see the need for it, but it sounds like it has to do with $$$ for the business owner of the travel plaza on that corner. If any intersection needs one, it would be at the 127 near the Mad Greek. http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/traffic-transportation/baker-gets-its-first-traffic-signal

No reason for me to take it down. You didn't break any rules. I've never had good dealings with that place. Carter has always been my go to dealership.

The sheet metal on that car looks sick! Do I smell a shakedown run soon? Chad & I will join ya if you want some support.

I'll just pick one from my stash of pics if we don't get any this month. Seems everyone is already in summertime hibernation.

Great photos and trip report as awlays, Jodi. You guys scored an awesome weekend out there. I love it when it's overcast and empty. It feels like a whole different place.

You just never know what kind of spring weather you'll get at Dumont this time of year. Usually it starts getting plenty warm by now, but the temperatures have dropped and stayed low enough to squeeze a little more season out of the dunes. Our friends at GTP Offroad were scheduled to go up north and hit Coral Pink Dunes for the weekend of April 30-May 1st, however the forecast showed it was going to be super cold. On the flip side, Dumont was looking nice and cool with only a slight chance of rain. They didn't let that stop them though. They packed it up and headed out to the empty, overcast dunes. The dunes were smooth and they only saw a couple drops of rain all weekend. The wind was fierce Friday night, but conditions remained a step above amazing all weekend long. So to those who think the season is over, you just never know. Have your toys ready, keep an eye on that forecast and you just might be able to seize an epic weekend in the sand and have it all to yourself. Speaking of doing that...check out those temps for this weekend! (mid 70's!) photos by Jodi Knight Get the full trip report here! http://www.dumontduneriders.com/invision/index.php?showtopic=20676 -
