dunefreak Posted October 28 Share Posted October 28 Halloween used to be my favorite weekend. I choose to skip it now. It's no longer my crowd out there. It's changed alot. I suggest going on an off weekend. That's what I do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
04toy Posted October 29 Share Posted October 29 We arrived Thursday afternoon and left Sunday afternoon. You can definitely tell the difference between the "old school" dune-crew and the new breed of "spoiled, entitled brats" when you are out in the dunes. I won't even go into the whole trash left behind in the camps or the stops in the dunes. We spent almost as much time driving as we did picking up trash in the dunes. Some people really need to learn the whole "Pack-It-In-Pack-More-Out" rule. Our group for the most part will only be making day trips for the big weekends to support the vendors and other events. The comfortable friendly feeling seems to be there on the off weekends. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tmoney Posted November 8 Share Posted November 8 I think this last Halloween will be the last for us as well. My group got in on Wednesday and had more than enough space for all of us along the ridge. By the time I got out there Thursday night, there was a car width between where I was supposed to park, and the camp next to us. My trailer got peppered by a RZR Friday morning. There isn't any respect for anything or anyone. I was a big fan of SXS and still am, but at the same time I despise them. Anyone with a 600+ credit score can go buy one with a 10 year loan for $300 a month, throw on the biggest speakers they can find, and go trash our dunes with no regard for anyone around them. I sold my $75k Can Am and bought a $15k sandrail and am super happy with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, it's been about 10 years since I've been out on a holiday weekend and actually enjoy it. 2009 (and before) was the sh*t out there on a holiday. Now I avoid it like hell.
