Just buy your passes off-site! Latest from the BLM: As you get ready for a new year of safe, fun duning, the BLM would like you to be aware of a major change you will see in the management of fee collection. BLM employees will no longer be able to collect money. This is for the employee’s safety. BLM and the TRT STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you purchase your pass off-site. You may call the BLM at 760-252-6040 for a list of current vendors or visit the passes page of DDR. Passes are sold at many locations and through BLM's Bartsow office. BLM will be encouraging off-site purchase of passes. Pass selling on-site will be phased out over the next 2 years. As a part of this phase out effort, annual passes will NOT be available at the fee machines. Little Dunes Notice: PASSES WILL NOT BE SOLD AT THE LITTLE DUNES. PEOPLE CAMPING AT THE LITTLE DUNES WILL NEED TO GO TO THE FEE MACHINES AT THE BIG DUNES, OR PURCHASE THEIR PASS OFF-SITE. New lane designations at the pay station area Please pay close attention to the signs delineating the lanes once you pass the water crossing. These signs will direct you to the correct lane. Please look at the drawing below for a visual explanation of the new lane use. If you purchased your pass OFF-SITE, you will enter the LEFT LANE. This is the EXPRESS lane. Please have your pass ready to show the BLM employee and you will pass through without delay. If you chose to purchase your pass ON-SITE you will enter either the furthest RIGHT lane or the third from the right lane. When your lane gets close to the fee machines, PARK your vehicle, get out and walk to the RIGHT to the fee machines. Look for traffic in the lanes you cross. The fee machines have moved. THE FEE MACHINES ARE NOT IN THE CENTER OF THE ENTRANCE, BUT ARE ON THE FURTHEST RIGHT SIDE OF THE ENTRANCE AT THE BASE OF THE STEEP HILLS. After purchasing your pass, return to your vehicle and pull out into the second from the right lane. This lane is used to pull into from both the first from the right and third from the right lane, so look for traffic. If you chose to purchase your pass on site, expect long delays and waiting period because all passes will be sold through 2 vending machines. You will need to park you vehicle, get out and walk to the fee machine to buy your pass. click here for pdf version of this crappy map There will NOT be window sales this year. FEE MACHINES WILL ONLY SELL WEEKLY PASSES. ALL ANNUAL PASSES MUST BE BOUGHT OFF-SITE.

Just wait about a week or so Stacey. I'll have about 1000 nice full color glossy ones you can pick up or I can mail you. You can grab a handfull of them to pass out.

Do you have any better pics? :stir: Nice rig! Congrats! You need a big azz DDR sticker on that badboy.

1st off welcome to the site! It really depends on what kind of rail you want and how much your Rhino is worth. You might be better off selling the Rhino then shopping around for exactly what you want. There are some killer deals out there right now thats for sure!

So who all do we have going this trip? Terry me wsky70 OGP ISBB sanddunesaddict sandchick SSBlondie dinicolady dinicolada richard cheese desertskyz I think Big Gunz is a maybe anyone else going???? Come the week after Halloween I don't wanna hear any bitching about anything about Dumont if you ma fackas don't show up tomorrow!!

St Rose Pkwy to Seven Hills Drive, go south and its right on teh right hand side not far down at all. Tomorrow's should go from 10:00 AM till around 2:00 pm.

JUST KIDDING! That had to hurt...or wait- maybe not. Sad to hear of anyone going down. 239!?? dayum :ah: Rest in peace

I'm really looking forward to this. I hope everyone marks it on their calendars. Not only will it be a great time, you might win some pretty good cash if the turnout is good enough.

...and I wanna go BACK already! Yeah I hear ya Mike. I missed all last summer and all season this year for any Coral trips. It had been 2 years since I'd been up there and it felt awesome to get back up there and ride. I really love Coral Pink. It really is. :6pak:

GOOD! Fuggin pull yo damn pants up, azzhats! :flatbiller: Now that I think of it that's actually a quote from the late Bernie Mac from Bad Santa. "Now pull yo damn pants up!!!"

I'm pretty sure Kayla was talking about the group with the Rhino rollover. I read somewhere she knows them from somewhere.

yep!

So a couple weekends ago we're heading back from OGP's on the 10 freeway (I think it was). OGP is in front of us. Two cars ahead of him we see a complete wheel/ tire go shooting off the freeway. We were like wtf is THAAAT? THEN, the craziest chit happened. A fullsize Ford Expedition (that obviously lost a left rear wheel) started to get WAY out of control. It starts swapping from the left lane to the right shoulder, comes back and almost hits the center divider, then swaps BACK again to the right, THEN on the way back to the left side of the road on 2 wheels and spins completely all the way around doing a complete 360. :ah: :ah: :ah: :ah: It was the craziest chit I have ever seen an SUV do! They were so close to going over it was rediculous. Anyways, all traffic came to a standstill. A few fellow motorists including OGP went over to see if they were ok. The mexican woman driving was pretty shaken up. The passenger woman was crying. 3 kids were in car seats in the back seat just in shock. All were very shaken up but lucky to be alive. Help was called and everyone began to go on their way. A few stayed with them since they were right in the middle of the freeway. OGP went over and told the driver she got a 10 for olympic driving. Mexico gets a GOLD! Here's the only 2 pics I was able to snap off after it all happened. After we started moving I grab my phone to call Tim and right as I do it rings. It's Tim. :Holy shiiiiiiit!" "That was badaaaaass!"

Saw this a couple weekends ago on the way to Cali. Scary :ah: Pretty sure it was a HHR...that or a Part Time Cruiser. Regardless....not safe!

It's always been the 1st weekend, MA FACKA! :bert: Get yer azz in gear and get that trans done!

Great pics, skyz

Badass Dan! That's some good times right there. Good job on the Blazer.

Well how was it Wally? Any pics or what???

To those that want to continue beating the subject into the ground about camp racing....leave it for another topic. We've all argued about that crap over and over many times in the past. Whether these girls were camp racers or not, I'm sure they learned a lesson about side x sides the hard way. Hell yeah you can say that again! The jumps there are fun as hell. That's why I love riding the dirtbike there so much. There are so many jumps you hit while on 4th and 5th gear rides. You don't even have to hit them in any special spot either, just stay on the throttle and sail! woo hoo It's so much fun there. You are going next time for sure. Welcome to the site. It's unfortunate you joined under the circumstances about your girlfriend getting hurt. I hope she makes a full recovery. Send her my best and keep us posted on her progress.

Suzuki450Chick, you aren't getting banned for anything you have just posted. That's not how this site works. Why would we hate you because you told the truth? That makes no sense. Please accept my apologies for what I said about the "azzhat" comment. The story I heard was the Rhino that rolled was the jackass that was blasting through camp all weekend. He came around making all kinds of dust and roosting our friends motorhome. I sure hope that guy wasn't your freind because he was disrespectful as hell!!! That's the AZZHAT I was referring to. Maybe he wasn't even affiliated with you guys. Who knows. Also, some people that saw it said it looked like the girls had their feet up on the dash and weren't even belted in. I know how quickly stories can change when told through a couple people. I wasn't there to witness it first hand and again, my appologies for the comment I made. I hope your friends recover quickly. Sucks to see or hear of anyone getting hurt and I AM GLAD they are ok. Wow...trip report went south REAL quick!

some more...
