Sincity_blondie Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 I think it turned out amazing for the 1st annual poker run. Might just be a couple little tweaks for next year, but all and all it was very successful. I want to personally thank all those who came out and donated their time to man the booths, as well as those who provided tables & ez ups. Also to Mark at performance rhino for the great donations for our raffle. Also his friend who donated the razer skid plates (sorry I dont have his name). Also thanks to all who came out and competed in the poker run trying to get the best hand. We couldnt of done it without all of you, SO THANK YOU !!! It was a great day, even without being able to ride in the dunes!! Cant wait for next year!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randog Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Heck yeah, Awesome weekend. I decided to be lazy the last couple weeks. so I didn't fix my car. Was totally cool with just the qWad till we got to comp, then I started jonesin'. :flatbiller: However we got in some killer rides on the qWads. It was great to get out and ride with guys I usually don't ride with. Had an awesome camp. Some cool MuffHuggin' peeps right there. Yiah. Made more new friends from DDR. I can't play poker in Dumont for chit I guess. Bad hands That sure was fun though. My first poker run. Glad it turned out so good. Great job Pete, Terry, Jodi, Stacie, Woods, Tim, Davey, Bert and everyone that helped. Hey Brian (indasand), did you say Thankgiving? :flatbiller: Hope you make it mang. Good to finally meet ya too. All in All........... Awesome trip Thanks, R- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyHour Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 My overnight run was fun even though my engine broke in my rail just a lousy 10 minutes off the trailer..... :kitty: That was Friday night, but I decided to just hang out and drink. I did do the poker run with a buddy in his car. Glad to meet SandChick, Blondie, OGP, and wsky70. I had a pair 7's with a queen high. I knew that wouldn't be good enough, so I just split at about 2pm. It was a good time tho!!!!! :black: :fro_smokin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunefreak Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 JUST now got in. We didn't leave Dumont till almost 6pm. What an awesome weekend!!! Great pics and report Jodi! The poker run turnout was amazing. Thanks to everyone's help, it went extremely smooth for a 1st annual event. It seemed like everyone really enjoyed the run, got a chance to meet some other duners, and learned about some of the critical areas of our dunes that we need to be careful around. It seemed like many duners who frequent Dumont really care about the place and that is awesome. When I was out at some of the checkpoints I heard many questions being asked and it seemed like we got some good info out to duners. Mission accomplished. On top of all that we managed to raise some fundage for Friends of Dumont Dunes organization, which is the group that fights to protect our riding areas. I can't thank everyone enough who helped out with everything. The volunteers, the tables, the EZUP's, Saxby's Coffee on Seven Hills Drive, PPG Industries, Pathway Communications Ltd, desertrirder71 for donating in DDR's name, and especially Peformance Rhino! It was great seeing the entire Dumont community come together and make this happen. We couldn't have done it without all you guys. On top of the poker run I had a really great weekend at D. We managed to wrap everything up fairly quick after the poker run and had about an hour to chill in camp before heading out to the south pole meet & greet. I didn't hang out too long out there because the sun was going down pretty quick and I wanted to dune. Dune run was awesome. My car had a charging problem but I made it out to teh north pole and back to camp no problem. Thanks Jeff (Eliminator) for following me back to make sure I made it. Sat night was good times. Chillen around the fire, the weather got a bit windy so we threw back some beers in the hauler, watched Jackass 2 again and we laughed our azzes off. Stalteri920 and crew stopped in and we headed out to comp a while later. :black: Hangin out over there we saw a buggy roll once coming down comp. :ah: It was a 4 seat LT car. Luckily everyone was ok. Their seatbelts must have been mounted correctly. Then leaving comp I managed to BURY the dmax bad. I was following dman back and took the high road at the edge of the dune turning to go to the whoops. That sand was rediculous. The wind made it soft as hell right there. Dman and jackster884 came back and we managed to pull it out with 2 super straps and dman's truck being aired down. He almost got stuck just trying to get up to where I was but we firgured out a better angle with the 2 straps put together. Damn those straps are the bomb. I was buried so deep Anna couldn't open her door. :ah: After we got back to camp jackster and I got a ragen fire goin on and didn't crash till sometime around 3 am. We got some good azz epic qWad rides in today. I thought the dunes were awesome. Many paddle tracks and lines were laid out and extremely easy to cruise and follow without having to concentrate too hard. One of our rides was a wet one. It started raining during the ride, but it made it that much better. traction! We hit up comp, saw 3rotortrav and bs'd a bit this afternoon. Thanks again for the beverage. Charlie child wrote DDR in the face of comp with his Banshee! (I'll post up pics later) We stayed way later than normal this trip. Gotta make the trips count to teh fullest! The weather was badass and we didn't wanna leave. Saw a horrible accident on the way home so it took us about 3 1/2 hrs to get home due to traffic and the road being blocked. Thanks everyone for a great time. Camped with some great peeps again this trip and had a blast. :kitty: pics to follow probably tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wsky70 Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 (edited) WoW...... What a great time and turn out. I'd like to Thank everyone that participated, it is much appreciated and a great cause you helped out. It all went pretty smooth being the 1st one. They will get bigger and better as they go. I'd like to Thank Mark from Performance Rhino for stepping up to the plate with his donations, it's not the 1st time, he's donated great prizes for every event we've put on and that says alot about him and the business... Great job Mark.... All the volunteers showed up and made everything run smoothly....Thanks to everyone again, we are a community that really does care, and I think BLM really sees that. Looking forward to hanging out with everyone again, meet some more great peeps out this weekend.... Thanks Tim for helping me move again, twice, didn't even have to put in change of address this time.... Here's some pics....Semper Fi, Woody Edited November 10, 2008 by wsky70 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertskyz Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 (edited) AWESOME TIME. I got to drive to the car. who says girls can't drive. will post a couple of pics tomorrow. dan.....a couple of good runs. :ah: don't know why I was such a scarty cat this time. Lots of razors. Didn't feel that good all weekend, but I hung in there Here are a few of my pics. I forgot my camera in the MH all day friday. The car ran great all weekend and we only broke one floor tab. Fun hangin with dman and bill. Got my butt kicked playing horseshoes. Where were all the other players? We had Comp hill all to ourselves on friday afternoon. I have never seen no one there before. Got to wheelie all we wanted. fun, fun. Even jumped the car. Had some great rides with dman and bill. When your with the boys your one of them. Thanks dman. Got to visit with OGP, woody, randy, vegas and their girlfriends. Nice to met new peeps. And Sandsolja (Joe) OGP: we are not going to talk about politics, so we did, the :B prez jokes started to fly. Woodys dog didn't even smile. Chips and salsa had him very interested. I can do without Pink Floyd (sorry jim) Didn't get to BS with Pete and Ann. I GOT TO DRIVE THE CAR :black: It is very driver friendly. I had a little problem with the clutch cause my legs weren't long enough. Danny said I need to drive it around more and mess around on the small dunes. :?: He says it is ok on off weekends. Maybe he was trying to make up for pissing me off on friday night. Kite chasing 101 rail style had Bill and I laughing our azzes off. Spending 5.00 in gas to chase down a .50 cent kite. priceless. Danny and dman..........you silly boyz. Warrior where were you.? I had to drink all that beer myself. Loved you and woodys matching hats at the check point. (they called each other) Dan enjoying the beautiful view. Chased this storm all the way home. But, never got rained on. Oh! one last thing: Sorry for having to drive right through your camp guys. I didn't remember how to put it in reverse. :kitty: Clutch, shift to neutral, pull the little handle with the big chrome ball on it down, let out clutch and go backwards. sorry.

Guest Crasher Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Such good times!!! The Poker Run was a big success!! I think we should try and do it a couple of times a year if we can. It was a great time and obviously for a great cause. Good to see everyone and I'm glad I was able to help a bit!! :black: And again Sin City.....SORRY I forgot our EZ-UP!!!! Thanks Jill/Charlie and Dave/Tina for a great time and a great mini-camp. It was perfect and the conversation was still funnier than chit!! Of course, the food was fantastic as well!! Thanks girls!! We didn't ride much, but that's how we kind of had it planned. Besides, Wingy was toyless, so we ended up duning the truck for most of the weekend. :kitty: Good to see everyone and the weather was awesome for the most part (until the wind/rain hit Sunday morn.) We are skipping Turkey Day, but hope to be out for New Year's. Everyone have fun!!!! p.s. Jill, hope you're feeling better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
