    Superbowl Weekend

    Overall conditions: epic!
    We arrived on Thursday night to dark dunes and a light breeze. Friday morning brought smooth buttery dunes and fast dune runs. 
     
    Lots of drop offs and shelves. 
     
    There are a few groups out this weekend, laying down some good tracks. 
     
    Fresh ripples all over with no tracks at all.
     
     






    Beautiful Day!!!!

    Overall conditions: good
    Wow, what a Beautiful Day
    Good Day for Duning
    Lots of Ruts out there
    Woohoo, We found Veterans Memorial... 

    The "W" Has Arrived

    Overall conditions: good
    The dreaded W blew all night and looks to be continuing today. Maybe Monday's predicted storm rolling in early??
     
    Sand is saturated and is slidy and then tons of hook up.
     
    Camp area is pretty sparse, filled in a little last night, but definitely not a huge crowd.
     

    We Made It Out Yesterday Around Noon

    Overall conditions: good
    Since we were just coming from Pahrump, we made it out yesterday about noon
    Beautiful day
    Set up the Buggies......  First run, lugs stripped out of right rear wheel...😮  Damn, I hope I can find new VW 4to5 adapters in Vegas today, buddy will deliver to me later if I find them.
    Watch the Knights Lose in a very sad fashion.
    But Hey, we are here and loving it....  Love the Dunes😎
     
    W has been light to full on gusty...
    Pics are from this 0700 this AM😊

    Merry Christmas!!

    Overall conditions: great
    Merry Christmas from Dumont! I hope you all had a great time! 
     
    Today was a good day with some dune grooming. Not too crazy, just enough to smooth out the lighter tracks.
     
    We spent most of the day kicking back with Christmas movies, like Krampus and making cookies, then riding in the afternoon.
     
    JoeDuner arrived later in the afternoon and we went for another run.
     
    Then it was back to the home for a full spread of ham, mashed potatoes, gravy, rolls, stuffing, broccoli and pie.
     
    Now that the gluteny is over it's time for cocktails by the fire!








    Quiet And Peaceful

    Overall conditions: good
    Love being out here Christmas week.
     
    After sitting in the moho most of the morning, we finally uncovered the vehicles and cruised the dunes. Hit up the swing set and cruised to the South Pole.
     
    Today its quiet and cloudy, we had a slight sprinkle, now it is just cloudy.
     
    Time to chill with a movie and a cocktail.
