Oct 26-27 weekend

Skillz!

Nothing very current, no. I'll reach out and see what I can find.

Thanks for the updates, Jodi. Looks awesome out there. Enjoy!

That's way cool of you!

I'm pretty sure there will be great service there as well.

It doesn't have to be that difficult. lol Just click on visitor posts on this page. https://www.facebook.com/pg/dumontduneriders/posts/?ref=page_internal They were both iphones. Can't tell if it's new or sparkly. No mustard was turned in.

VOTE!

What up Joey! Long time no see for sure. Good to hear from you. Seems these ATCs are getting harder and harder to find for cheap, but I'll keep my eyes open for ya. BTW, do want me to merge this new account with your old one but keep your new name and password?

Thanks There were 2 reported to our Facebook page on Saturday. I told them to post them here on the Lost/Found section but they didn't. I don't think people understand that nobody sees posts to a page on FB. FB doesn't even let me share those posts to our feed anymore. Just another reason to hate FB.

Any others or are we ready to vote?

We got in on Thursday night. Friday started as a relaxing day in the sun, riding the ATC70's all over the place. Then it was time for a buggy run. We met Theron, Gary, and Greg at the South Pole and left from there. We probably should had gone out earlier. The shadows were short and the dunes were extremely bright! We headed back and played on the 70's some more. haha Once Ben arrived we headed back out. The dunes have already started shifting from the recent spring winds. I chose a line along a ridge that I have taken several times before and came up on quite the surprise. There was a HUGE hole/ trench along the dune. I slammed on the brakes, drove right into it, and kissed the nose of the car on the backside of the hole. We managed to hit it rather softly, but if we came ripping any faster and I didn't hit the brakes, it would have been ugly. I took a couple pics from multiple angles to try and show how big it was. 😲 Back at camp... On our earlier ATC ride, dentboy lost his phone. Using his wife's phone to track it, we found it laying in the sand. Watching the hockey game Friday night 🤘 Saturday...cleanup day. BLM and FoDD got 130 volunteers. Jimmy & Heather did a great job with lunch and the event was successful. Many thanks to everyone who helped volunteer. Some drone pics by Ben The Saturday dune run was great. We had a nice, big group. Anna and I drove out to check out the work on the cell tower. Many cement trucks were coming in. They were running loads of cement up to the top of the hill with loaders. Then @EY3BA11 and I took the two wheelers out. The sand was nice and felt to rip around. Back at camp...lazy time! Then more duning! Then on the way back, @rick10 had an unfortunate accident and rolled. 🙁 With a little help from everyone in the group, we managed to get him back after the left front wheel broke off. Luckily he wasn't injured and he ended up being in good spirits after the initial shock wore off. Then just as we got back to camp, we got word that ANOTHER one in our group rolled the next dune over. wtf! When we got back to camp, we saw the helicopter fly over and a CHP & ambulance along the finger dune. Apparently a little earlier, a kid came up short while airing it on out on a dirtbike and broke his ankles and femur. Ouch! There were some dune gremlins out that afternoon for sure! We had some dinner and watched Supercross was a super lazy day. We enjoyed the nice warm weather, packed it up for the season and headed home. ☮️ out Dumont! See ya in October.

Working on it right now. DDR homework

State Route 160 construction update BLASTING resumes Friday, March 15, at 12:45 p.m. through Mountain Springs. Motorists can still expect up to a 2-hour delay. photo NDOT

No, you'll be fine. It's only been impassable a couple times in the last 20 years.

I don't think weather forecasts get much better than this weekend's. Loos the nicest weekend of the season.

Thank you President Trump. This is great news for Dumont Dunes as well as many other OHV areas. https://cook.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/president-trump-signs-rep-cooks-public-lands-legislation?fbclid=IwAR3K5Grv8T0lEUALgkHK2ZHQYhoexTLOYxyIACM6kCcbgcuQ6fbFJDKBDcY "The Conservation, Management, and Recreation Act is a package of bipartisan public lands-related bills that passed the House or Senate in the previous Congress. It includes critical lands legislation Rep. Cook introduced in the last Congress, including the Santa Ana Wash Land Exchange Act and the California Desert Protection and Recreation Act (previously known as the California Off-road Recreation and Conservation Act)." "The California Desert Protection and Recreation Act is the culmination of over five years of work in Congress by Rep. Cook, as well as over a decade of work by supporters on the ground. This landmark legislation creates the first national system of Off-Highway Vehicle Recreation areas and designates or expands six Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) Recreation Areas in the California desert. These are Johnson Valley, Spangler Hills, El Mirage, Rasor, Dumont Dunes, and Stoddard Valley. This bill creates additional protections for OHV users and ensures that these areas cannot be closed by a future administration. The established or expanded OHV areas would total approximately 200,580 acres. Combined with the nearly 100,000 acres that make up the existing Johnson Valley OHV Recreation Area, this bill will ensure that over 300,000 acres are open permanently for OHV use in the California Desert."

Anyone heading out to watch the race this weekend? I'm off work early so we're going to head downtown to get in on the pre-race festivities. Some great coverage from the time trials yesterday.
