Plumber Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 So the weather man says its gonna be really windy Thursday, and a lil windy on Friday. I hope he is lying. Does the wind usually go away or does it stay pretty windy for awhile after what the forecast says? I was planning on being there Thursday morning. So how you guys bear with the wind?

dunefreak Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Well you already said the W word so now it's definitley gonna be windy! Although Dumont sometimes has a forecast of it's own, when Tecopa is calling for 33 mph winds and gusting to over 50mph you can bet on some strong winds at D. You can watch the hourly weather forecast as it gets closer and it may change, but the wind forecast is usually very accurate out there, if not worse than what they say it will be. How do I bear with the wind? Sit in the toyhauler, make some food and drink plenty of this---> 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandwarrior Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 If you spend much time out at Dumont you WILL be in some wind storms, like dunefreak said, honker down in your RV have some beverages and wait it out, once they are over the sand is as smooth as it can be. Ive been thru some wild rides at camp but it always seems to *blow over* then you get to make some new tracks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasSparky Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 (edited) As far as heat goes, relax. Sunday evening will be warm, with a beautiful weekend to preceed. Thursday will be blinding. The rest of this weekend looks perfect. We'll be out there, and wouldn't want to be anywhere else(my 4* birthday). At least it'll be dry. It's been like riding on soggy diapers since NYE.

fishlips Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Don't forget to rotate your truck. You don't want the paint on one side and primer on the other. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VegasSparky Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Seems the worst has passed through Vegas. The last 2 hours were ridiculous. Driving through that, and I would've ended up in Golden Valley. Now I'm ready for a nooner tomorrow. Safe travels, fellas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those dunes are going to be PRISTINE after these winds. I'm jealous.

If the wind dies down I could come tonight. If not first thing in the morning. I have a 10 year old boy also. Where do you plan on camping at?

VegasSparky Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Great weather, great sand, great people. Didn't want to leave. Plumber, and Mr Strictly are excellent drivers. I had a relaxing weekend. I like morning/evening rides. These guys killed it. WTF flew in? Nice touch and go. LOL 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
