dunefreak Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 We pulled in Thursday night and there was nobody out there. The temps were a little chilly but the fire leaf blower got the fire going nice and hot because all our firewood was wet. Friday was the duning day. Lou has been chasing a brake issue and lost his brakes on a dune run. That was fun! He almost ran into me but luckily found somewhere to go rather than my car. lol View this post on Instagram A post shared by Pete Greep (@pete_greep) He peeled off and went back to camp to get it fixed while we hung out on the dune overlooking the camp area. I think we counted about 20-30 camps. Very empty for MLK weekend. I think the weather scared everyone away. We played around on the ATCs for a bit. Later in the day we went out for a sunset ride and stopped in the middle of the dunes. Saturday was a total bust. If we were motivated enough in the morning we could have squeezed one in but we didn't make it out. We put the covers on the cars and prepped for the rain which came about noon. Chad's car looked like a limp Oscar Meyer weiner car. LOL The rain came and we didn't leave camp all day. It was a nice, lazy day inside Chad's motorhome watching movies. On Sunday it was pretty nice. Still overcast as hell and gloomy-looking but decent temps and no W. The sand was soaking wet. We went for an easy, don't break the trans, dune run. Later in the day we finally rolled out. The Amargosa river was flowing really well. I haven't seen that much water out there ina while. The crossing was still very passable though.

I wasn't mad about that. Great trip. Nothing broke and I'm stoked to get back out asap. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A GoPro 9 and a 10 (basically the same camera). I'm using a GoPro Max lens mod on each camera. That gives it more stabilization plus full horizon lock. It works awesome for dune videos to really show the angle of the dunes and the car especially when sidehilling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha you won't regret it. The footage is worth it. Front mount: just a sticky GoPro mount on the roof Rear mount: cage mount with the GoPro adapter on it. It's a pretty stout roll bar mount made by Eyeofmine but I don't think they're in business anymore. I'll get a picture and post it. They are basically light rigging clamps (like this) with a small L bracket and GoPro tripod adapter mounted on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
