Aww man, that's sucks Sean! Sorry to hear that about he trailer. What a pain in the a$$. No prob with the pull out of camp. Where there for ya anytime. It happens to everyone, especially with a 2WD. I've had my share of being way more buried. You just had some axle hop which made it impossible to get going with that trailer. Glad you finally made it home. It was great hanging with you and Tami again.

or Joe Duner- he can also help ya!

Great pics Jodi. Sounds like it was a great weekend to get away up there.

Congrats Dave and April. I'm very happy for you two!

Great pics, Ken. Good to see you again and get some duning in together! I still can't believe we found your broken whip! No sweat bud. That's what they were for. We always bring extra for the peeps yo! :peeps:

no prob, Joe. Sorry it didn't come out better. It was after the sun went down and I was in the process of dialing in the settings. It came out super underexposed and that is the best I could get it after some Photoshop help. lol

Saturday morning..... Rob's sweet new ride... Hanging at the north pole after an epic run... Having some more fun in the sand... The DDR bird This lil guy hung out all day in camp. Sat evening.... painterjoe sun down BBQ time... Banshee Hill...

lookin good Cole! After seeing it the day we moved stuff in, I can see how busy you've been. lol Chit everywhere that day!

So it sounds like alot of people's entire trip was ruined because some litterbugs. Thats too bad like to b*tch more than talk about the good times.

as soon as everyone stops bitching

he didn't have his whole setup out there last night. Whenever he goes out for the big weekends he is over at vendor row. He did a damn good job this time for not having his setup though! His rig on holidays...

Enough about the trash. It's killen the thread buzz! This trip kicked a$$! Sorry, but some people just don't learn and I have found out you can't do much about it other than clean up after them.

It wasn't really an "event", it was just a dune trip which was talked about on the internet between friends. Why would we need a permit to go to the dunes and have some fun at the hill? Just because it is talked about on the site, it doesn't mean it's any different than going out on Halloween or anyother weekend. Nobody can legally be held liable if someone got hurt. Even still, I have asked the BLM in the past about permits when it comes to big group trips. The only reason you need a permit is if it is an organized, sanctioned event where it is a competition. There is no registration, no money collected, and no organized races. It's just like any other dune trip, but with some lights.

thanks man! Yes, please say hi next time if you see me in my car.

It has been no secret that the BLM reads this site on a regular basis. People should understand it is a public, community site. It's not like this trip was hush hush. I actually feel better that the BLM comes out just in case an accident or something happens. I think the hillshooter guys might want to keep that in mind for next time. I'm not saying they were unsafe in any way. The fast guys all seemed to have very good control of the hill and seemed to be doing a great job of playing it safe. I heard of stories how the BLM talked down to them and didn't talk to them with respect that adults deserve and also how they weren't too fair across the board with everyone. That makes me mad too as it has happened to me in the past. BUT, rules are rules and we gotta follow them. Like you said, anti-bling, maybe just wire up some cheap little lights (or even some LED flashlights) next time so everyone is legal. The rules aren't too hard to abide by. If we aren't doing anything wrong, we don't get hassled.

Well it appeared to me that you guys were unstuck after I circled back around. You (or whoever had the lights) showed up not long after me over at the hill. You were the only one I saw stuck when we were driving to the hill at that time. Later on we actually helped a couple people who were stuck over in that same spot. As a result from it my buddy's front diff housing is split in half now.

Man, we had such a great time! This trip was very much needed. We made a last minute decision to head out Friday night and got there about 10pm. I'm so glad we did too! It was in the 70's and there was hardly anybody there. After setting up we played around on comp for a while late Fri night. We had it all to ourselves. It was soooo smooth, no whoops, and so much fun. Then after getting back to camp we even made a fire and stayed up till almost 5AM :ah: throwing back beers, chatting and laughin our a$$es off. Saturday we got some duning in late in the morning/ early afternoon. 80grit got some seat time in the new car. Sweet ride, Rob! Oh those dunes were so nice! I couldn't believe how well the weather cooperated too. It was some great duning. I didn't wanna stop. Sat night we were heading over to the hill and my shifter cable broke on my buggy. It sucked the car was done for the rest of the night and weekend, but we just cruised the truck over to the hill and hung out all night. I really wanted to get an early AM run in on Sunday, but there's always next time. I got my fix and that's all that matters. I want to give another HUGE thank you to Smokin Al's BBQ for coming out and hookin up the BBQ, and also again to las vegas duner and undertow for lighting up the hill. Those things were key ingredients to the kickass time we had out there! -BLM showed up and hassled a bunch of hillshooters for lights/ whips, etc, but I guess rules are rules -my truck bed always turns into a dumpster even if there is a huge trash bag right there for the empties! -fast fast bikes at the hill! Man those things were screamin. -very soft sand broke some trucks at the entrance to the whoops/ Banshee Hill. Robert busted his diff housing and the guy he was trying to pull out broke a front CV. -hilarious entertainment as always provided by Mary and Tracy -I SEAN this one guy get stuck in camp on Sunday morning. -vaJJ...nonstop comedy as usual at JJ's expense. -el duner & crew makes some killer tacos from what I hear. I wish I was hungry man! They smelled great, but I had a ton of BBQ already. Great meeting you! -80grit saved my weekend with his backup generator. Thank you again, Rob! -oh and one last thing which was funny as hell. As I walked up to Randog over at the hill. At the same exact time we both give each other a "YIAH!". It was some damn good times, great seeing seeing everyone again and also meeting some new faces from DDR this weekend. I got some pics to come, not a ton, but some.

Al you guys are great people. Thank you so much for coming out and feeding the herd of duners. The BBQ was excellent as usual!!!

awww man congrats...I think

Hat's off to you guys. Thanks for bringing them out. The lights always make the night drags what they are. I saw you guys stuck and was gonna pull up to help, but saw you already had it handled. That stuff was soft. It claimed a handful of trucks and broke some people's rides.

happy b-day Kieth! Lookin fwd to next season with you guys.

Mike you don't have to ask. We all made a decision earlier on in this thread it's one huge circle. Just pull up, bud! We'll be just before bathroom 6! Nice shameless lil plug there!

I'll call you, Rob. Thanks! Well now I don't remember if I did or not, but regardless- it still popped the same way on startup. It's the same kind of backfire/ sputter on startup as when it gets loaded.

Yo Terry make sure I pick this trans up sometime tomorrow before I leave! LOL

Thats not even an option. A/C won't run off an ext cord. Especially both units. (50 amp svc) I'm not too worried about it. Temps don't seem too bad this weekend. Cold beers, a couple fans, and enough water for a few ice cold showers.
