There will be a Dumont cleanup held on St Patrick's Day weekend, March 18th at 8AM. Roadrunner Powersports will provide a free barbecue lunch consisting of hot dogs, hamburgers, & basic side dishes in addition to water and sports drinks for hydration. Barstow BLM will provide the dumpster, trash bags, and tools. Bring plenty of friends, sunscreen and whatever you plan on driving around Dumont to help clean up the best dunes on Earth! -

Have someone turn the water heater on while you are outside at the water heater. See if you can hear the gas valve open when it starts its cycle. If it does, then see if the igniter is sparking. I've replaced just about every component on mine over the years. lol Gas valve, ignitor and board. All very things are pretty common failures and easy to replace. Not very expensive either. You just need to troubleshoot it.

As promised, here's the 2nd video from our tour of Dumont where we ride out to the Salt Creek Hills and explore the mines. If you've never been out there, it's a fun little adventure and a great way to break up a long weekend. You can get there with paddle tires too. Enjoy the video!

Thanks guys!

Anna and I were out there a couple weeks ago enjoying having the dunes all to ourselves and I decided to put together a little tour of all the popular landmarks. Grab a beer and enjoy it on the big screen!

Click the extended weather forecast on the weather tab. It looks nice except a couple possibly windy days. https://weather.com/weather/tenday/l/USCA1133:1:US

The dunes have dried out from the recent and were extra "slidey". Super fun weekend. The weather was nice...almost 70 degrees on Saturday. There were a few camps there and I think 1 or 2 vendors. It was super nice and quiet. We did see an ambulance on the entrance road but never heard what that was all about. No breakdowns or issues in our group. It was a great weekend. Our sunset ride was one of those perfect rides! I captured some cool shots with the drone. I should have some video to share soon. Stay tuned on my YouTube channel, https://www.youtube.com/c/LiveLikePete

yep not a prob

Haha you won't regret it. The footage is worth it. Front mount: just a sticky GoPro mount on the roof Rear mount: cage mount with the GoPro adapter on it. It's a pretty stout roll bar mount made by Eyeofmine but I don't think they're in business anymore. I'll get a picture and post it. They are basically light rigging clamps (like this) with a small L bracket and GoPro tripod adapter mounted on it.

It's the last big holiday weekend of the season! Besides Halloween, it's always been one of the biggest weekends at Dumont. Although the Jeep races and hill climbs are longer happen on President's weekend, you'll still see the crowds of duners, some of your favorite vendors, and action on Comp Hill. Don't forget to swing by the sand highway (between comp and North Pole) at 3PM for the unofficial daily drags. It's nothing more than duners lining up and racing, but it's a new trend at Dumont that everyone seems to love. Stay safe and pack out what you pack in. There is no trash collection at Dumont so we must keep our playground clean if we want to enjoy it for years to come. Be sure to post up some photos from your trip on the forum and tag us on Instagram! -
Price???

Part 2 video from Sunday. https://youtu.be/Dlt6_oOYdH4

A GoPro 9 and a 10 (basically the same camera). I'm using a GoPro Max lens mod on each camera. That gives it more stabilization plus full horizon lock. It works awesome for dune videos to really show the angle of the dunes and the car especially when sidehilling.

Part 1 video is up! https://youtu.be/bWUGTgBS000

I'm working on video from the weekend so stay tuned on my YouTube. I'll post it here too though. https://www.youtube.com/c/LiveLikePete

We pulled in Thursday night and there was nobody out there. The temps were a little chilly but the fire leaf blower got the fire going nice and hot because all our firewood was wet. Friday was the duning day. Lou has been chasing a brake issue and lost his brakes on a dune run. That was fun! He almost ran into me but luckily found somewhere to go rather than my car. lol Overall it was a nice, chill weekend. I know MLK weekend isn't very busy but it was empty this year. I wasn't mad about that. Great trip. Nothing broke and I'm stoked to get back out asap.
-
I don't believe so. They stopped doing them a couple of years ago due to lack of interest and participation.
-
Anyone heading out for MLK? Looks like the weather may hold out with the only chance of rain being Saturday night (50%). Highs around 60 and lows in the 40s. Sounds like duning weather to me.
-
MLK weekend is not the holiday where you'll see huge crowds and partying. Instead it's more of a duner's holiday. It's a weekend to run the dunes and enjoy the weather (if it holds out). There should be a couple vendors showing up but still come prepared. Make sure you have a holiday pass because this is one of the five holiday surcharge weekends. As always, have fun, be safe and share your pics and videos on the forum, our Facebook group or tag us on Instagram. -
untilIt's one of the busiest weekends following Halloween. President's Weekend is Feb 18-20, 2023.
-
untilIt's a duners holiday weekend. MLK weekend is never a busy one but there always seems to be a handful more duners than other weekends. Don't forget you'll need a holiday pass since MLK weekend is one of the 5 holiday weekends.

That wet sand can be tricky. Glad nobody in your group got hurt. Thanks for sharing!
