Great relaxing weekend.

The "super bloom" flowers were spectacular. I always love the spring blooms out at the dunes, but with this years super bloom they were even more incredible.

Went on only one ride, but it was a nice long one with Joe Duner in the lead, and I took the Ace over and up places I never thought I would get it. I must be getting more comfortable behind the wheel.

Slept in until 10:00 this morning, must have needed that rest, haven't been feeling 100% lately and the down time was much needed.

Some Super Bloom pics

It was a super chill weekend at Dumont with some good, fast runs through the dunes and a little side adventure to the mines at the little dunes. The flowers were in full bloom and the weather was nice & warm. We even got to show a couple friends the dunes for their first time. This was going to be my last trip of the season but I don't think I'm done yet! So much fun.

Here's my pics.

Friday night were got set up and waited for painterjoe to arrive.

The moon came up but quickly got covered by the clouds.

We stopped at the North Pole to take a break. The colors off in the desert were great!

I took my friend, Janyne, for her very first buggy ride. She had never been to Dumont. She was blown away!

After the mines we played around the Little Dunes for a while as the sun went down. I spotted this puddle over there and the reflection caught my eye for a photo opp.

It was a bad idea to try to get real close. lol I sunk in that nasty clay!

Then we headed through the dunes for one last dune run and checked out the north end that was blooming.
