    Went to DD Wednesday-Friday. Didn't do much duning as the group trip in October is more about dual sporting around the DV area. In 3 days we did 400+ miles. In the little time I did ride the dunes it was great, sand was a bit "rippled" and rough from wind but also smooth and flat in most areas. Trash was a disappointing sight, not much but more than expected. Bathrooms seemed clean but that's expected. Great weather!!! Almost no wind, just warm enuf' without being hot (high 80s), great crew of 10+. Sperry Wash is great, hardly any water though. Entrance road was so nice it almost seemed paved! One trip down, 5-6 to go!!

    Some duners cashed in on the untouched sand one week before they get hammered over Halloween. With weather varying from sunny to overcast and a few drips of rain, it turned out to be a great mix of weather for a day or two in the sand. Starting off the weekend, agphd on Instagram sent us these great shots of the untouched sand and wicked razorbacks followed by one of those epic Dumont sunsets! The Miles family (submitted via our FB) had the dunes all to themselves and even got a few of those passing raindrops as the cool looking clouds paid a visit.

    Ahh that sucks! Couldn't that wait until after Halloween though? Still seems drive able for now once you get the tire fixed.

    My duner friend sent this from the ADV website. Sums it up perfectly, well done video plus a bit of bonus history lesson on the area. I'm super pumped to go duning now....check out that wet/not too wet sand!! http://advrider.com/index.php?threads/why-i-keep-returning-to-death-valley-and-dumont-dunes-a-red-bull-video.1177795/

    weather seems to be changing every 5 minutes. As of right now though, it's looking a little warm! That's why these things come with AC right?

    Thanks! Glad to hear. It's always stressful making changes, but I am pretty happy about the site updates this time. I think everything works and flows much better.

    Hop on board with pilot and You Tuber, Henry TrikeLife, as he takes us over some of the beautiful gems of Death Valley in his REVO "Yellow Jacket" trike. He shows us a unique perspective of Dumont Dunes and the surrounding areas such as the China Ranch Date Farm, Tecopa Hot Springs and more. It's interesting to see what these places look like from up above. Henry did a great job with all those camera angles and editing. Looked like it was a gorgeous day to be up there.

    I'll be there! As always, looking for some new content for the several magazines I represent. I will also have my rail this trip. Finally finished the engine transplant and looking forward to some good runs.
