dunefreak Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 I just got the new Sand Sports today. Anyways, does anyone else ever read the North of Zzyzx article in there every issue? The writer, Mike Dougherty, always does a great write up on short trips to Dumont. Basically he (and sometimes his wife) take a drive out there in just his car or truck and just chat with duners. It's kind of cool to hear his stories. I even laugh sometimes at his choice of words and how he describes things. He's a pretty nice guy. We once met him when we were out there for a day trip. He rolled up to us and say good morning and handed us "the morning newspaper" (a couple copies of Sand Sports mag). I thought that was pretty cool of him. This last write up was about how he went out to Dumont and met Brian King from King Sand Cars. Check it out if you alrady haven't. :chug: :chug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanddunesaddict Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 His write ups are always pretty cool. I liked the Corvette one. Also when his first encounter with a high dollar long travel he said the car had HID headlights...he thought it must have meant High Invested Dollars!!! I thought it was funny but too true.

I love em all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
