wow, nice 180 degree post edit

My post was meant for those who were on and reading during last weekend. There were like 20 people on the other day and no new posts for like the whole day! LOL

Wow, it's more and more sad when additional details unfold. Sounds like it was a case of a very bad judgement call on his part and definitley a lack of safety gear being worn. (and possibley alcohol as mentioned before) If it makes you feel any better, authorities mentioned that the coroner said he passed away sometime around midnight/ 1am. I doubt there is anything anyone could do by that time of the morning (after 6am).

Opinions are like azzholes- everyone has em.....and they usually all stink. :poop: lol Let it go John. :B

Vote now!!!

I like pizza.

We can use the DDR Paypal account and I set this up so I can track each donation that is for Don & Ellen so we keep that $$ separate from our other "corporate money" or lack thereof Otherwise we'd have to go through the whole process of settin up another account w/ Paypal. That is a big pain getting everything verified.

Grrrreat...Capt took the pic down and now everyone is REALLY confused.

Yes Lupe is Steve's wife. I thought you meant he had more people with him when you said FAMILY. no worries David. I was just confused for a sec. Check it out...this is now the worst thread ever! :poop: :moon:

Right on. Capt threw me off when he said Steveo and "family". Could you imagine a bunch of lil "that's fuggin right's" runnin around.

I got nothin. I don't know wtf is going on here. ...and hey, you ran into STEVEO out there? McNulty? and family? :?: :chkn:

Putting you to sleep?

Bout 10 gallons here for the whole weekend but my Busa barely sips it. :chkn: BTW wassup AJ!

FYI: your pics no longer work. Looks like you need to upgrade your Photobucket account. LOL Ya want me to move this to Sandrails for SALE section?

I say we setup a Don & Ellen donation account (Paypal?). Then whenever someone has say 5 or 10 bucks they could spare they could just donate it online. Then, for example, when we reach 100 or 200 dollars, we could cash it out and bring it out to them courtesy of DDR in appreciation for what they do. Just a thought to help them out. They do voluntarily live out there all season and support what we do. It's the least we could do to return the favor.

I know wtf they are and what they are used for. I need to know if anyone uses theirs at Dumont. Lots of responses here and yet still no answers. :chkn: There's a guy on GD who owns a grove that is selling them for 50 bucks each. He has about a thousand of them. He's also on DDR I think. (atlas) It wouldn't be to replace the campfire. It would be in addition to the fire. It puts off more heat han a fire for those cold azz nights out there. I know what you mean. I still ike an old fashion campfire.

Are the LEO's cool with them or do you think they'd give you a ticket? EVeryone uses them at Glmais and I don't think they are a problem down there. Just curious because there's a guy selling a whole chitload of em and I might pick one up. For those that don't know what a smudge pot is it burns just about any type of fuel or oil and puts off alot of heat. Cool to look at too.

are you effing kidding me!??

:ah: :?: Congrats you two. Hey I just figured something out. NOW I know why you're going to Iraq. You knocked Jules up and now you're are fleaing the country so you don't have to hear her b*tch and moan through the pregnancy right? j/k I was kinda waiting for this post because I remember you telling me you were gonna work on having a kid together.

:?: pa-leeease She didn't take it that way at all.

Who the eff is that? Are you buddies w/ him or something?

haha no way. I didn't even know you were going. Did you see Chris there. We ran into him and his wife and hung out the rest of the night w/ em. haha, yeah I know. There were some way cooler cars after that one that went for under 60-80K! :ah: That MG car had some serious history. The original owner was there (the little old lady in the car) It was one of Carol Shelby's personal cars after her that he raced. Cool and all, but I wouldn't pay that much for it.

Something like that was one of the rumors I heard as well. Didn't know if it was true though. Not very smart of him if that be the case. Tim, I know what you mean about those dunes. I always try warning people about those razors and the stuff like at the top of comp. They were nasty the first weekend of Oct.

Steve @ Sandcrazd called me about an hour ago. He just left there today and also mentioned that flight for life showed up for another accident (not related to this one). As for the fatality, he saw lights up at the top of one of the hills on the back side of comp (camp side). He noticed them as he was leaving Dumont to go into Baker late after midnight (about 1 am). He found out the details later from authorities. They said that this happened around midnight and the guy lay dead up there all night until someone found him the next morning about 8am. Apparently he suffered severe head trauma when his sidexside (Ranger or RZR?) overturned when he tried cresting a razor up there. No word if he was or wasn't wearing belts. He was not wearing 5 point harnesses though. He did mention that. BE CAREFULL PEOPLE and never...never ride alone! I do wonder IF it was a RZR that the cage may have had anything to do with it. Those cages don't look like there is enough head room for a bad accident. Regardless...very sad.

It also helps to keep a small light on near your stuff. You'd be suprised how many thieves will stay away when toys are lit up. I leave my amber porch light on all night (and weekend )
