EY3BA11 Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 MAN what a great weekend is all i can say. Got to dumont first thing friday am trying to play catchup to skinner and ninjagreengirl as they had about a 45 min head start on me. Rolled into dumont about 730ish and just rolling up to the wet sand and cool air was just awesome! So relaxing. The wind was nice and calm all day just enough breeze to kick the dust away. Got a couple good runs in thru the weekend on the 500 and after some carb adjustment hey it ran lol. Rode the piss outta the XR400 and that thing fly's pretty well.. found one of those nice lofty jumps where you dont get much air but fly a ways out and it was real stable surprisingly. Petes new car.. all i can say is :ahhhhh: :ahhhhh: bad mufhuggan .... Camp was a bit smaller this weekend but it was campin with some great peeps, great company and great people in camp all weekend. Even ran into a glamisdunes.com member that i wasnt expecting to see out there.. It was good seeing an ol friend again Poker run was a huge sucess this year. There was no issues this year as compared to last year. There were no lines at the check points everyone was in and out in a hurry.. we all thought things went a little too smooth and a little too fast lol. IT was just a great turnout. I was manning the checkpoint on the south end of the dunes right at the closure steaks on top of the plataue. Awesome view Awesome Weather just plain great time up there. Man i cant wait for the next trip.. mid week morning run anyone lol.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sand chick Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Good times as always!!!!!! That pulled pork samich was perfect!!!!!! thanks to everyone that came out. Congrats Jodi for a great food donation!!!! (Don't eat it all Mike j/k) And thanks again for the coffee!!!!! See yall for some gobble gobble :ahhhhh: Thanks!! And your welcome!! :ahhhhh: Food drive was better then expected since it was a last minute add! THANKS again to Chris aka: dunefaster for the donation of the helmet! It was a tie for who brought in the most items, so I had to tell both parties they could go get more if they wanted and I left it at that... both did! Conratulations on winning the new helmet Justin and Julie, aka: Skinner and Ninjagreengirl! They brought in 30 items and Jill and Charlie brought in 28!! THANK YOU!!!! To all who brought in even one can, box or container of food and a few non food items! All together there were over 150 items donated!! We actually just got in so, pretty well pooped out! Only went on one ride yesturday, but it was a great ride, lost the group coming back, started to go over a tall razor and got blinded by the sun and a gust of wind kicked my contact off kilter.... so I didn't want to go over it blind, dropped out and caught up on the tail end of another little group. Didn't have a clue who they were, but they had a good line going, turned out to be the peeps Ynot was camping with! Today, just wasn't feeling it... busted the bead on my tire, almost took a tumble down a pretty big hill, changed the tires out ( THANKS Justin and Julie for the borrow!), wasn't used to those paddles and back end was a little too squirrely for me, so I had to take it down a little, then lauched over a nice ten foot drop, then we stop for a photo shoot and I lost my contact to the sand gods... :headspin: I thought ok ok I get it I am done... I said see ya and headed to the flats and met up with everyone back at comp! Still a GREAT day, but just wasn't my day for riding. Kicked it at camp the rest of the day, slowly packing up. It was just a great, peaceful weekend! Hanging out with some pretty darn cool peeps!! Sat nights, Sandblast on the side of the hauler was awesome!! HEY! Joe was that your car?? Rewind.... YEP!!! Great meeting Skinner and Ninjagreengirl and Urkel and family!! :headspin: Thanks for helping out at the registration booth Julie! I am sure I will think of more later, there were some pretty good laughs! Pics tomorrow... its time for :headspin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunefreak Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 What a GREAT weekend! I can't thank everyone enough. I truly appreciate each and every person that came out to the poker run that participated, volunteered, and donated towards the event. Even though times are tough right now, the Dumont community still came through as always! It went very smooth this year and everyone we talked with really enjoyed it. I think that mystery spot was a kickass idea this year and really gave everyone an added bonus & challange. The weather was very cooperative and the dunes were great. After the poker run we managed to get quite a few really sweet runs in. This weekend is exactly what I needed. I missed the rest of our usual crew as some of them coudn't make it out , but it was still a great weekend with great friends. :drunks: :ahhhhh: Oh yeah...and the new car made me very happy this weekend. Absolutley flawless! :ahhhhh: More to come later. I'm beat! ...to be continued :booty: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little Sandblast Steve, Justin and Jack were die hards when the wind picked up Sat night.. they stayed by the fire until there was no wood left to burn.... then it was time to head in for pizzazz food and laughes in the hauler!

ynot Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 (edited) First of all I want to thank Pete and Anna for co-sponsoring this event! Couldn't have done it without your help and this site. Then a great big Thank You to the volunteers who hung out all day at the checkpoints, I got nothing but great reviews on everyone of you. I can't say how much it means to me to see people spend their dune time helping the cause. Then the people who spent what it takes to get to the dunes and then reached a little deeper to do the poker run. Thank you all and I hope you had fun. Lastly a thanks to all the vendors who donated stuff for the raffle, what started out with 4 prizes ended up being much more and thats all due to the vendors at Dumont so please support them along with Butch's speed shop, Red Art Inc. and Performance Rhino, They came through with some pretty expensive stuff and gift certificates and they deserve your support when you need parts etc. The run was great this year and the mystery checkpoint was a great idea (thanks Anna) and we will have to work it into next years plans again. I had a great weekend, got some nice dune runs in, sat at the campfire with old friends and got to spend time with my son in law, my grandson and the trunk monkey Thank you Walter for everything. :ahhhhh: Edited November 16, 2009 by ynot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rushjunkie Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 (edited) Well, I rolled out solo on Thursday. Arrived about the same time as some of you. Pulled into the Valero to fuel up as 80grit was finishing up (didn't get to introduce myself), and pulled into the dunes just ahead of OGP ( i was the next camp over on Thu). Went out for a ride on Thu afternoon. Soooo much virgin sand with nooobody else out there. Rest of the crew showed up about 11pm and we figured it was a good idea to start up the fire as it started raining :ahhhhh: . A few :ahhhhh: later and we are duning my buddy's tacoma. Of course we get it stuck in some soft stuff over by comp at about 2 am. By the time we got it out and back at camp it was all of 3 am. Fri we rode until we couldn't move. Great weather all weekend. Crew had to leave Sat morning, so we cruised around on my cousin's dmax to all the checkpoints and took a pic or two . Again, no time to stop and introduce myself. Here is a couple from my cell phone, will post up rest later from home after work. Poker run looked like a blast! Def going again next year. Should meet a bunch of you at the regatta though...
