MAN I sure wish I was out there last weekend! great write ups and awesome pics! should have the buggy back togther for MLK!

That is one thing that I have a HUGE problem with, as I have a daughter of my own. I would like to take a quick moment to commend all of DDR about not bashing other people and their rides, like other sites seem to do. So well done DDR However...... to the owner of the shrek rail

Hey everyone! I am trying to get out to Dumont for MLK weekend. Anybody interested in going? I would love to meet some new family friendly folks to dune with. I wont head out to the dunes alone...

We had a blast out there this weekend. Decided not to vend, good decision since the crowds were so small. Still had a couple of a$$hats in camp next to us, but we didn't let idiots ruin our weekend and thankfully no one was hurt. The road going in sucked, I don't think they did anything to it prior to the weekend. Still love the Ace, dunes were tore up and being on a quad would have been super rough and for me unbearable. The moon was awesome! The company was fantastic! While Mike, Joe and Adam were out on a "big boy" run, I took off to put around and find some ripply sand to take some photos. A friend of mine found me and we were over by Memorial Hill, she hadn't been, so we went over and paid Bert a visit. While we were there a 4 seat RZR got high centered and stuck, so team girl power came to the rescue, she pulled with her RZR and I pushed on the front and away they went to enjoy their weekend! Bert must have been looking out for them, they could have been stuck there awhile, as that area gets very little traffic. Then we putted around, stopped by vendor row and chatted with Desert Bling, they agreed it was a good weekend not to vend, since no one was there. Then we took off to play on the dunes by our camp at bathroom #3 and stopped to watch a group of people having a blast, sledding down a big hill. they would take the kids up in the sand rail and dooooownnnn they would slide! Looked like so much fun. Mike, Joe and Adam ran into us up there and we headed off to find a great spot to watch the sun go down and to do the last sunset cruise of the first weekend of 2015! Some pics from the weekend:

I just got back sunday and it was awesome weather. Cold at night of course but great by the camp fire. During the day I was wearing pants and a long sleeve shirt and actually got warm duning about noon. but it cools down by 330 ish imo great weather!

It still pisses me off that the entire world gets full Dakar coverage and we here in the States get a 30 min recap a day later. It seems that our American effort in Robby Gordon basically hit the wall today. Had brake issues early on in the day and stayed with him throughout the stage. Reports that he got towed in the last 30k and finished over 4 hours back. There were some pictures of him at the finish where he looked worked, maybe some A/C problems. They say it reached 122F there today and it was a brutal stage with lots of breakdowns. He is still in good spirits and ready to tackle the rest of the rally. Unfortunately, Nasser Al-Attiyah took the win in today's stage in a Mini. These things seem like they can't be beat right now. They have their program dialed and are the cars to beat. I really think Robby has a good program and car to win if they can get through the breakdowns. Some talk about lack of testing, but the Gordini has a lot of testing on it this year and problems have been found and fixed. The car ran great yesterday and earned him a 2nd place on the day, but that was only an hour long stage. Once they get their problems sorted, I believe Robby can put the Gordini on the box if not win a few stages. Go Robby

I think MLK is the plan for my next trip. I'l know for sure soon. @@59bisquik you are welcome to join our group. We'll have at least 3-5 buggies to dune with.
