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.

It's just how I decided to do it. The battery mains (cables) connect right there anyways so it would be redundant to run a second set of cables up to the batteries. It's all tied together.

Super cool. Glad to see some new faces this year as well as the regulars that will be out. We are planning to have at least as big of a group, if not bigger, than last years. I'm actually most excited about sandcars & coffee! lol I plan on being up extra early that Saturday morning to brew coffee for everyone with our new catering style coffee makers! What do you guys think about making it be sort of a potluck style breakfast as well? Everyone bring a box of donuts, danishes, bagels or whatever to add to the coffee??

Looks awesome! Thanks for checking in from out there. I wish I was there. 🤤

Awesome! Welcome to DDR and I look forward to meeting you as well. The EZ Up may be needed, but the tables are a definite. Thank you.

What type of weekend do you usually prefer? Do you like the busy holidays because the people watching and craziness or the peace and quiet of an off weekend to enjoy the solitude and emptiness of the dunes? I'm curious what attracts everyone to either weekend. Are you an A type or B type? Or both? I personally love Halloween, but after that I just want to enjoy the rest of the season at Dumont when it's empty.

Unfortunately, she needs another $40 pass. 👎 Each vehicle that enters needs one.

We still need the generator, but only for high power consumers like the microwave, AC, etc. We don't watch TV anymore at the dunes or even have an inverter, but you could definitely watch TV throughout the day with solar alone. Newer TVs don't draw too much power. I would upgrade to at least 4 six volt batteries and 400 watts of solar to keep everything charged throughout the night. Those furnace heaters draw a ton when it's cold.

ok awesome! Thank you @Thd

Awesome. Please do. Thanks Theron.

There are actually a few things that would help us with this year's buggy roundup so if anyone can bring an of these items out, please let me know. One or two EZ UPs 2 or 3 folding tables and/ or picnic tables Possibly a large propane flat top griddle so we can have two large grills this year expedite the cooking speakers with a microphone (DJ setup?) Raffle prize donations: If you have a company or know someone who would like to help us with some items to be raffled off, please get in contact with me. We'll be hosting a raffle this year to help cover website costs and expenses associated with the buggy roundup (tacos, coffee, etc).
