3-14-20 Sorry, I'll get it on the calendar now

I never heard from anyone over Thanksgiving whether or not the service was any better yet so we don't know if it kicked in just yet. I guess we'll find out this weekend.

The weather forecast is looking stellar! https://weather.com/weather/tenday/l/USCA1133:1:US

Time of year really doesn't seem to make any difference but in the past we haven't had any for Buggy Roundup.

BTW, our Sunday Dumont tradition is champagne and/or mimosas so bring a bottle or three if you'd like to join in on that.

It really depends what kind of riding you want to do and how far you want to drive. Duck Creek Utah has places you can stay & ride (in the summer) where there are tons of SxS trails.

BTW, if you are going don't forget to click "GOING" on the event page. This helps me track how many people are showing up and how much food to buy for taco night! 👍

Heck yes there will be flipcup. Saturday's "schedule" will go something like this... Sandcars & Coffee: First thing you'll want to do when you wake up is to pull your car into the middle of camp at 8AM. Don't worry. We're not going anywhere for at least an hour or two when it warms up. We will supply & brew coffee for everyone. Please try to bring a box or package of donuts, bagels, or whatever to add to coffee. Grab a cup of coffee, meet some new faces, check out all the sandcars, etc. We'll do this until around 10AM. Morning dune run: group ride Buggy Weigh in: Ben will have his scales so we can weight some buggies again this year. Dumont / DDR/ buggy trivia: New for this year is trivia. We'll ask some trivia questions about the dunes, the website, buggies, etc. Winners will receive free tickets for the raffle later that night. More dune runs: we'll squeeze in a couple more dune runs hopefully one of them being a sunset ride. Taco night: We will provide pollo & carne asada tacos & chips/ salsa for everyone. Optional: If you have something you want add to the spread, please bring it. This and payment is not required though. A raffle: This year we have some Buggy Roundup swag and some raffle prizes to give away! Raffle tickets will be given out for donations to the website and food costs. Camp fire shenanigans/ATC races?/ and FLIPCUP

What are you riding?

It is a law at Dumont and they can cite people for it, however I don't think they do very often. I see it every holiday weekend no matter what machine these camp racers are on. Drives me nuts as well.

Awesome. This year is shaping up pretty good. We may need a 3rd flattop gas griddle if anyone has one. It may help expedite the cooking. We're cooking up pollo & chopped carne asada. Oh and this is a no brainer, but FIREWOOD everyone. 🔥

According to Dan he had just got there, went for a quick ride and misjudged a dune with the sun in his face on the way back to camp. The hook where his headsets hang is what caused the head injury.

Looks like the weather kept most people away this year compared to the usual Thanksgiving crowd. Not much of a turnout.

We've got some cool Buggy Roundup swag to add to the raffle this year. 🤟🏻

Looks like that trampoline didn't last very long. LOL Thanks for the updates Dan.

No, it's a club event that the Dunemasters & Sandpipers do together.

Got it. Thank you!!

When do you plan on going out? Weekend before or after? Holiday passes are required from Dec 31, 2019- Jan 6, 2020 per BLM. Reason I ask is because New Years Eve falls smack dab in the middle of the week this year on a Tuesday night.

Correct, the disconnect would be in between. The whole point of installing the solar was so the batteries stay topped off. I plan on leaving the switch on so the batteries never die. The solar controller will handle the trickle charge. It's ok with me if the switch stays on and the system has voltage. Doesn't hurt anything.
