dunefreak Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I saw a couple friend's pics and it looked like a perfect weekend out there. Zero crowds and great weather. Anyone take some pics or have anything worth sharing from their weekend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Rhino Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 it was an absolutely amazing weekend!! NO Crowds, lots of dune runs, the dunes are kind of whooped out in sections but if you looked hard enough you could find some good lines! I lead a huge line on Saturday and I think one guy said we were running 78 MPH heck I didn't even think I was pushing it had a broken CV on Sunday but from experience had a boot and CV in the trailer so that was only a 30 minute break in duning!! Brice on the other hand blew his trans sorry Brice.... Rees finally got his car running perfect! HUGE improvements!! had the filming guys land at North Pole in an ultra-lite, and chatted with them (cool guys) then they realized they couldn't take off with 2 people so I ran the actor back to his camp.. they (the film crew and actors/actress's) came out and swarmed me like ants to a sugar cube lol... I thought they were going to yell at me, but turned out they just wanted to ride I did take the actor up comp on the way back.. he said is it safe? I said is riding in an ultra-lite safe? he said good point great camp fire antics as always... term of the weekend "Oh Mary" and that was from my 8 YO son 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rushjunkie Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 The sand was smoooooth on Friday. No crowds to rut it up all weekend. Weather was awesome. Moonrise was killer every night. Will upload the few pics I took and post later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunefreak Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 Man I'm bummed I wasn't there! Those weekends are exactly how I like to enjoy my dunes. Glad you guys had a good time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam @ GTP Off Road Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 It was a great weekend. had some buggy runs, some RZR runs, some quad runs. and a nice sized camp. We even had to wrap around the camp next to us as the camp grew much more then expected. The sand was very nice Friday, good on Saturday, and a little tore up sunday. The sand is dryer now so the ruts aren't so brutal like Thanksgiving. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Mike Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I got some great rides in with my son. We went on a 2 hr ride with him on Monday. I led half and Joe led half. He was riding like a pro and we got him up to the tallest point of the dunes. It is such a great feeling to see him riding so well. Thanks Joe for letting me follow and watch him ride. Thanks Jodi for letting me ride your quad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakster884 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 This sounds like the Perfect Trip. Nice group right there. Nothing beats a good weekend at Dumont Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nas6car Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I came from so. cal. to play in your backyard, thanks for grooming the dunes so nice (perfect). oh and the entry road. on the road out of baker 2 leos passed me, and I have a tradition at entry road, say a prayer and pop 1 beer. x 4 people. heres comes leo driving up, stashed beers. he asked if we were ok. yes just streting after 6 hour drive. he actually stopped at lil Dumont and hardly anyone had a pass. I guess there was an article in newspaper in vegas "free camping at little dunes" he was real cool got his name it was officer Wilcox. after all the stories I have reading lately just wanted to share a good story. by the way adam nice pics. thanks guys.

Adam @ GTP Off Road Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I think officer Wilcox was the guy I talked to during the Government shutdown. Was he in an SUV? He was really cool, and a great representative for the BLM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushjunkie Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Had a Sheriff in a RZR stop by camp on Saturday morning. Super pleasant guy and interaction. BS'd for a minute and took off. Maybe he was checking for passes and infractions, but we never knew it since he was cool about it and we weren't breaking any laws. I should say that it's an officer I've seen out there before and has always been cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rushjunkie Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 (edited) hey adam Wilcox in suv. eddy did you see our strobes (white) I think you were nextdoor to us Not sure if I remember white strobes. I know one of our neighbors had a purple LED flag pole. This is our view toward Ranger station: and our neighbors the other way: Edited January 24, 2014 by rushjunkie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushjunkie Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Turns out I only grabbed the camera at night after a few cocktails. But here's a few that aren't the usual Dumont pics: After a day of duning Moon rising over my rig: Anybody else see a face in our campfire? Moon was looking awesome: Obligatory sunset pic: And I only took this one because in LA we can't see the Milky Way and the few stars we CAN see are orange. I'll have a fisheye next trip out for this shot: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
