Dumont Dune Riders

The water pumpers drew quite a crowd today at Comp Hill for their Hill Climbs. Taken just after 9PM, the night lights and fireworks lit up the camp area.

On Friday around 6:30 AM, a Blackhawk medevac was spotted hovering over Banshee Hill area. It stayed there for about 20-30 minutes before landing near an overturned truck. During the early morning hours on Friday, the truck crashed and landed upside down in the dunes between Banshee Hill and the Superbowl. Around 4:00 A.M. the driver of the Blazer/ Tahoe managed to walk out of the dunes looking for help at the closest camp. He knocked on an RV door for help and those duners warmed him up and asked what was going on. They then rode into the dunes, found the truck and the passenger could not move. 911 was called and a medic helicopter arrived. The passenger was extracted from the vehicle and airlifted out. There were reports of him not being able to feel his lower extremities. The truck was flipped back over and removed from the dunes.

Duners are already starting to roll in for the holiday and the camp area has quite a few people. Sunday morning there was a little bit of rain and there was some afternoon winds. The sunsets were incredible this weekend.
