So who's going for Halloween? Last year was huge and I would guess this year will be just as good. I gotta think of a new costume for this year. Hmmm. Guess I should get the sand toys ready first then worry about that.

Dale at H Town Performance always helps me out with stuff like that.

We've got a little over a month to go. Who's ready for dune season? What kind of "dune prepper" are you? Do you start prepping during summer, in Sept or Oct, or like the day before? I'm not ready and have a handful of crap to still do, but I will be ready for Halloween or a couple weeks before for my first trip out.

I already ordered mine. Stoked for dune season!

Big thanks and shout out to the vault toilet contractor, James Lynn (Lynn Construction), for cleaning up the mess and repairing the damaged restrooms at Dumont. It took place over 4th of July weekend. It was some of the worse vandalism he's seen all year.

Contact the Barstow BLM 760-252-6000

Never been. One of these days. I'm heading up to Colorado.

ok then, time to vote

haha! I don't but if I hear of any others I'll let ya know.

Hey Mark, there's a company that advertises with us during the season, Kelly's RV. They haven't run their ad this season yet as they are still wrapping up their season up north. You can try reaching out to them on their website for more info. Mention we sent ya and you might get a discount. They book up very quickly for the holiday weekends, so don't waste any time. https://www.kellysrvrentals.com/dumont.html

All I gotta say is wow!

ok any others? We'll start voting tomorrow.

Well how can we vote on nas6car if you posted 2 pics? Which pic would they be voting for?

You can only have one, pic @nas6car

Few of the pics that Neal took.

These are some great tips for setting up your bike for the sand. Obviously a paddle tire is needed in the dunes. An 8 cup paddle is still one of the best tires to run on a 450 or larger cc bike at Dumont. Great videos though put together by RM. I've never put too much thought into adjusting the suspension for sand, but I think it would definitely help in the dunes. You want to keep that front end light. I think a steering stabilizer would be another good thing for this list. Still need to get one on the 500 for this season.

That sounds like much less investment than I would be into this.

I believe this car is sold. He has yet to update the ad.

Got the email today from SSSS. Looks like another side x side show like the past few years. I don't own one of those so it isn't much interest to me. Still looks it would be a fun time and all, but I don't know. I may rather go riding that weekend. We'll see. Anyone else going this year?

So I don't know if it's cool to post any pics, therefore I won't, but I saw and heard this gorgeous car rolled at St Anthony over the last week. Luckily the driver was ok at it was mostly just sheet metal damage, but damn. Idaho sure is claiming some cars lately!

Not much to see from Vegas because of the clouds.

yeah no kidding!

Those guys were movin! Glad he's ok.
