Weekend Report Halloween 2015

Let's hear how your Halloween weekend went!

We were busy at the GTP Off Road booth.

Vendor Row was lacking in the vendor department... Hog Haven, Funnel dude, Big Belly Crew, and Racin Dirty all missing in action. However Grandpa's Ice Cream was delish and Beefy Boys took care of our food needs. There were some other new T-shirt places and another parts booth, that looked like they had a lot of those small parts, nuts and bolts.
We had some stuff stolen right out of our booth on Friday. :shake: So Saturday we had to make sure we had one person out watching the booth and people in it at all times. Makes it difficult to get something to eat, or have one person leave for any reason. So sorry if we were a little slow on Saturday and the line was long. Leaves such a bad taste that you can't trust people walking into your area, when you are out there working hard to bring people something that might save your weekend at a duners ourselves price.

Mike dropped me off on Wednesday morning, then turned right around and went back to town to pick up the vending trailer. So I putted around the lower dunes while waiting for him to return, so we could start getting set up. But he was delayed in town, so I cruised out and did a sunset ride solo, found a good place to chill and watch the sun go down.

Then it was work work work..

We packed everything up as the trick or treaters came by. So many we ran out of candy :( we had three bags of 100 thinking that would be enough, sadly we had to turn kiddos away. All the costumes were so cute!

We were closed today, so we went ahead a took one cruise to the N Pole and man was it rough! Peeps were definitely out there enjoying the dunes this weekend. Hung out for a little bit more to make a pizza on the pizzazz and down went the gennie! Thankfully our friend's Brandon and Laurie were still out there, so they invited us to have lunch and we headed to their camp. Awesome peeps!

Thank you to everyone who stopped by and supported us on vendor row. We wish we could have every part that you might need, but it is pretty impossible to stock everything. This year we tried to have a wider variety of products and ran out of some items. We should have even more on Thanksgiving weekend. If you stopped by to say hello and we didn't have time to chat, we apologize. We wish we had time to chat with everyone, but it just gets hectic sometimes. We do always try to have a fire going after we close, and visitors are always welcome to stop by chat and enjoy a beverage.

I hope all your weekends went well!

Saw the hell twice :( nooooo good :(

A couple pics from my sunset cruise.

Great weekend out at the dunes. Found camp with my neighbor and his crew, very nice people. Friday was windy and I did not ever set up my tent, slept in my truck. Saturday was beautiful, got a couple good runs in, towed a few broken vehicles back to various camps, tried to help those in need as I've been there myself.

Great weekend for me. It's been 4 years since I've done Halloween at Dumont. It seemed like there was a really good turnout this year and alot of fun Halloween spirit in the air.

I recently swapped my paddles to #1 instead of 2's and holy crap it ran amazing. It pulled hard up comp and still wheelies with ease. Very happy about that.

My buddy Walter (@b370), Howard, Trish and Laura absolutely nailed it with the Flintstones costume!

My buddy Chris joined me this trip and brought out his mini buggy for the first time. He had no paddles and has a few things to dial in but he had a blast camp hopping and cruising around. I went for a ride with him. I barely fit but I pulled it off. haha

I cruised vendor row a few times. Sorry I never stopped to say high. I was just cruising.

Friday's wind

Friday late morning the camp area started to fill in.

post-3-0-02339700-1446495175_thumb.jpg

I stopped over at comp and was happy to see some buggies in between the flocks of side x sides. Oh, they're my buddies friecracker, white rhino, quadrockets and the crew.

That Friday wind sucked but it finally calmed down late afternoon enough for a nice dune run. There was nobody in the dunes. They were all staring at each other at the north pole. lol

Back over at comp we spotted the helicopter flying over. I heard of a couple semi-bad accidents, but nothing life threatening so that's good.

Saturday's morning run was nice. The dunes were tracked out enough to have plenty of lines to choose from without thinking too much but they didn't seem too rough at all.

Comp Hill was insane Saturday night. Our friend's buddy brought out his drone and flew it all over comp with the ghost attached. That was great! Never got a pic, but I have video I'll post.

Great to meet you Brent! Happy you found a group to camp with!

This was our first Halloween out, and it definitely won't be our last. We had a great time, and everybody we meet was very friendly. Thanks to the guy (sorry I forgot your name) that was looking for his friends and stopped to help pull me out as we were coming in. We arrived after dark, and I wasn't as familiar with the sandy areas as many of you, so I got stuck with the truck and trailer.

We made sure to swing by vendor row Saturday and support the vendors out there. Special thanks to GTP Offroad for the great prices and friendly service. Picked up an Axia Alloys fire extinguisher kit for a great price!

Here are a few pics from our weekend.

Haha! I just saw your YouTube video about 3 days ago! Nice set up, not bad for 2wd!

Thanks! Yea I always wanted to camp over by comp, I love the sound of the races. I need to get a tent that is less likely to fill with sand though. That wind was making the sand come through the vents like I had no tent at all.
