motor-sickle. Steve always cracks me up with that and he looks and me like WHAT? What did I say?

Thanks for the pics and reports, guys! Wish I could have made it out, but work got in the way. Really hoping to get at least a day trip in with the quad before the heat sets in.

Yep, those guys were at the last ATC Regatta. They dominated for the most part. Cool group of guys.

This was this past weekend, Randy. It already happened.

Couple pics from sand~snake. He said it was pretty warm out today. sanddunesaddict's uncle with the rubber side up

never a dull moment with you clowns. Good stuff!

Super bummed I'll be missing cleanup weekend again this year. I have to work. You guys should have some nice, warm weather!

Unless I can get my Saturday covered, I am out since it is my day to work.

BTW, welcome back

It sounds like you haven't done enough research. You are generalizing many different events into one statement. Not everything is getting canceled and shut down. 1) Some guys racing at Banshee Hill were ticketed over prez weekend for an unauthorized organized event. Who really knows for sure why exactly they were ticketed or targeted? 2) The special event permit application process is quite involved these days so if the promoter doesn't have one little thing for his app- it cannot be approved. You do not need a special permit other than you entrance pass and registration/ sticker to go duning with your friends and family. I'm sure FSA canceled their race because of a good reason. Just like we canceled out 70 regatta this year because of many reasons. Sometimes it is just too much for one guy or organization to handle. 3) Alot of these posts on here are misleading and contain a bunch of pent up BS from lack of dune trips. Many people don't get out as much as they probably should. Don't take everything so serious. Just keep doing what your doing and go out to the dunes and have fun. I used to get pretty worked up over crap on here and it started to kill my dune buzz on trips. Forget it all and dune. The dunes aren't going anywhere.

Super sorry for the delay. I've been out of town and forgot to update this before I left! Homepage updated

What's the point of this topic? We've been going in circles about law enforcement for weeks now. It's just like arguing about politics. It never ends. I think we all know where everyone stands and it isn't going to change anything bitching back and forth about it. At least in the very beginning in the BLM/sub-group meeting thread ynot tried to be constructive about the situation with LEOs at Dumont and hardly anybody emailed him with the info he needed. People obviously just like to complain. Let's just agree to disagree and let this go.

Very nice!!!

Not true. You choose what you share and who you share it with.

"Please sign this petition for me" turned into...TIM, YOU MAKE TOO MUCH MONEY, WE DON'T REALLY NEED YOU, and YOU USE WAY TOO MUCH GAS! wow, and it hasn't even warmed up outside yet.

What he TRIES to do? Maybe you don't understand what our border patrol agents successfully accomplish every day for our country.

No, because it's not gonna happen. It never generated any interest so I gave up doing that trip with the crew. Besides, that was just going to be a regular dune trip where the group camped together and brought their ATC's, just like every dune trip for me. No races, no schedules, nothing promoted, no $ involved, etc. Just duning and hanging in camp.

Banshee Boys? Never heard of them. I remember Banshee Wars and that was a group from Planet Sand. I'm sorry but I'm with Bruce on this one. Alot of people made plans and arrangements for a certain date and time...President's weekend. Whether it was to run the dunes or to line up and run Banshee Hill all freakin day with their buddies. What's the difference? Of course they made arrangements. I never saw a flyer. It was never advertised. Was money collected? Was there a roster sheet? No. Just because they are racing each other doesn't mean it's illegal. Everyone does that at the dunes. Are they going to start ticketing the sandcars that race all day at comp hill? Their idea of an ORGANIZED event is getting ridiculous. The Barstow BLM is going to see less and less people at Dumont in the upcoming years if they continue the way they are. Look how many vendors and annual events they have already run out of there.

Ok that is enough pics. Let's vote! Plenty of options to vote on this month.

There was nothing there. The new one shows up now.

Ouch! Best of luck Tim. That's alot of dough! Signed

Adam, are you going to fix your pic or what? We have to start voting real soon.

Much appreciated, Terry.
