Well we just got back. It was a great early morning trip. :headbang:
We headed out of town at 4 AM.
We arrived at the dunes at 5:30 and were riding :smiley: by 5:45/ 6:00. :headbang: The sun was barely up, the temperature was about 88 degrees, and the dunes were oh so smooth. There were only about maybe 6 other groups of people out there besides us. We basically had the dunes to ourselves. The riding was great. :headbang: The temps got up to about 104 right before we left. It wasn't too hot because there was a good little breeze all morning. There were no clouds in the sky and the sun was BRIGHT. We were gonna stay a bit longer, but decided it was time to go because the dunes were getting hard to read at that time because of the sun's position. SandYFZ put the fear into us by saying, "I don't think we should go out one more time because I don't want it to be the one ride we SHOULDN'T have gone on! lol" We figured, yeah nobody got hurt and all our bikes still run, we better go now.
All in all it was an awesome trip. It was great meeting you, DUNEDEMON and your buddies as well. Must do it again soon! :headbang:

Beautiful dunes ....
SandYFZ...
The stump of sand that made Pauly 2 inches shorter (He accidentally hit this extremely hard coming outta a turn)
PaulyPaul recovering
A bunch of trash that was left behind by some disrespectful idiots :angry: ...
We picked it up before we took off.
The north pole report: still somewhat intact. The only damage is a broken hinge on the door and a smashed up ball on top. The damn jerks have been trying to damage it again.
Chillen at the south pole after some good riding....
A view from the south pole....gorgeous dunes
I told cdavego and DUNESMURF that they were gonna have to go ahead and load up my truck and trailer in their toyhauler for the ride home. They didn't go for it, besides it was a bit tight.
Here's the river crossing (or lack there of). It was bone dry.
