superdave Posted July 7, 2006 Author Share Posted July 7, 2006 (edited) the fingers are for riding too. it makes a fun ride back to camp. there shouldnt be any godamn markers on the fingers. everyone should have enough common sense to camp close maybe but not too close.

EY3BA11 Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 I say we park the tajmahal on top of the finger dune and camp there for the weekend.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunefreak Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 I say we park the tajmahal on top of the finger dune and camp there for the weekend.. yeah, and claim the whole damn finger dune like some of those people do with their stakes and cones.

EY3BA11 Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 yup.. it sucks having to weave in and out of stakes cones rebar catuion tape... its like a freakin jungle that if you screw up you can get impaled by a nice piece of rebar covered up by a CONE so you cant see it until its going thru your stomach and out your a$$!

superdave Posted July 8, 2006 Author Share Posted July 8, 2006 or worse yet, running over some kid because the parents told them they could play there and be safe because they put up caution tape so they could kick back and party assuming the kids are safe.

duniemonkie Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 (edited) Maybe this has already been said but, a dune is a dune no matter how big or where, and they are all for riding. The finger dunes are especially fun when the top is a little packed down and you don't feel like getting into serious stuff and want to go fast. Someone mentioned not taping off the top but the sides. That is almost MORE dangerous. When you come over one side you can't always change your path last minute! And half the time when there is tape on the top, I can't tell which side they want me to go on anyway... The argument that your kids need their own place to ride out there is a little silly, it's like saying your kids need a street to drive on in town. There are some things in life you can't do until you're bigger, too bad. Reason #34783458973905734206......

SandBox_Kid Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 (edited) People with kids get mad all the time about this. I however don't agree with the dune hoarding myself. Roping a finger dune is like saying it's ok for me to rope off comp...right? Only sanctioned events that are permitted are allowed to do that. I don't know why people have such a problem with that. It's pretty simple logic. Edited July 12, 2006 by cmyfirepole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EY3BA11 Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 thats why i dont use caution tape anymore... i ended up getting tangled up in more of it than i wish to comment about... but i do still have a roll somewhere.. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandBox_Kid Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 I use it when it's just us....to try and make a partial circle with 1 truck and trailer. It helps keep the boneheads from riding right through our fire pit!! ....yes that happened to us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vegas style Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 how much caution tape is picked up as trash durning dune clean-ups? seems like on windy weekends alot of that tape gets blown around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Cheese Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 blocking off the bathroom with moho's is just retarded. I would have blown through there in the middle of the night on my DS650, consantly clutching and revving...maybe they would have got the hint as far as kids playing on the dunes themselves :angry22: what in the hell are those parents thinking??? I understand the kids need a place to play, but not ON the dunes themselves, that is just a recipe for a lifeflight. set up a mini track around camp or something, or get creative with a shovel at camp, and build your own sandhill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Cheese Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 I'm sure you'll have your chance on President's day. never been on prez's day. sounds like a giant cluster I have only been twice, and on superbowl weekends both times I usually ride @ oceano dunes, and that place is a freekin nightmare...1500 acres including camping, with up to 1000 trailers, plus 1000 dayuse passes that can be issued every day... that is why I go on off weekends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I go on Prez's weekend I already know what it's going to be like. I go on that weekend to see the "show". If I wanted uncrowded duning then I'd hit Amargosa on bigger weekends. At one time I wanted to go to Oceano, but from what I've heard and pics I've seen....I'll probably never go. I'd much rather hit up Coos bay or something like that.
