a1scoot Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Am planning on driving down on this weekend.... How is the creek crossing? Is it anything to be worried about this time of year? Thanks, Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Am planning on driving down on this weekend.... How is the creek crossing? Is it anything to be worried about this time of year? Thanks, Al Might be a little warm but that's about it. The crossing is only an issue with heavy rains in the mtns and although we are scheduled to get some rain it shouldn't be an issue at Dumont.

CaptNkllm Posted April 3, 2011 Author Share Posted April 3, 2011 The reason I went at the last moment was that my brother was supposed to go and had to work. He then calls me on fri night around 6pm saying he could make it and finished his job early... so I loaded up the trailer and finished that around 10:15pm and headed to bed. I told him to be at my house at 630am... of course he was late.. but no biggie as it was no hurry to get there.... he was EXCITED...... this would be his first time to Dumont or to any dunes for that matter.. We arrived around 9 am to a bright and shiny mostly smooth dunes... ... Jim happened to meet us at the pay station with his tracker and we followed him i. There were about 60 trailers there and Man did it look good.. Dunes were in great shape and it wasnt busy at all.... Good thing we brought food as there was only 2 vendors there. We unloaded and geared up for our first run of the day.... temps were in the low 80's at that time with a slight breeze.. felt good... This was my Brothers first time at the dunes or even in a sandcar for that matter.. I had to tell him to close his mouth because my goggles needed a wiper blade to keep the slobber off the lens lol.... he was laughing so hard and yelling yeah all day lol.... after meeting a few ppl at the north pole that Jim knew we headed for another run through the dunes. Keep in mind that this was just a guys trip for my Brother, Son and myself.. Actually pretty fun all together... After a couple minor repairs in the dunes to a car we were able to get a couple more runs in. My brother ate it up... Hook Line and Sinker.... HOUSTON WE HAVE NO PROBLEM>>>> He wants to get his quad up and running and do it again.....He had a chance to meet some good friends of mine.. thanks JIm and Kristin for letting us pop in your camping are and letting us use your shade...They are GOOD PEEPS and I am not ashamed to call them friends.. I was getting ready to start loading up and Jim stated he hadnt ridden in the car sense I picked it up in Glamis ... so away we went...... Sorry Jim lol... that was a SHARP RAZOR lol.... we almost went end over end.... Didnt really make me nervous but Jim was Whoaing a bit haaaa... problem was we hit a small sharp razor on top of a big dune and as the car raised its back end there was a small witch eye on the left that my left tire went in and then as the rear was slowly coming down we hit another small sharp razor.... Pucker Factor for him for sure... me not to much ... After all my brother has been through with his wife and child it was great to see him laughing and getting away from the problem for a bit..My brother is a great guy.. better than I am.. if that means anything to those that know me..and it was just nice to see him having a great time.... Man was it a long drive home after all that fun... was real tired lol.......... how can so much fun be so tiring lol.. Well temps got a little warm but the clouds moved in and with the breeze it turned out to be a great day...... AWESOMENESS Capt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
