Some more pics... Wednesday night. It was empty and chilly, but the 3/4 supermoon lit up Dumont! Thursday morning was quiet...VERY quiet. It was nice. @sandmandan and I both had radiator cap issues (small leak), so we messed with that for a bit. Then we went out to survey those smooth dunes. They were difficult to read, almost like summertime, but they were so awesome. Although it was just 2 buggies, Buggy Roundup 5 had begun! Back at camp, Anna enjoyed some sunshine in her hammock. Did I mention we had the place all to ourselves? I took my 500 out for a cruise. There was another group of buggies already out there camped behind the rock pile. One of the guys stopped by a couple times to chat. Nice guy and wicked car. Later in the day when the sun got a bit lower, we headed back out to make some more tracks and enjoy the emptiness of the dunes. Our radiator caps were still dripping a little, but if that was the worst thing that happened all weekend we were ok with it! We finished off the day with a quick cruise over to the sunset hill. We were a little late to the show, but it was good enough. Friday to be continued.....

We wished we would have camped with the group. I'm happy that Mike was able to do a couple of runs with you guys. His only frustration, is that yes the SxS's need to be in the back, because they can't run as fast as the big cars in general, but the last run he tried to do with the group, he was stuck behind a beam car and in the big long travel car it was just to hard to try to run behind them, without running them over and he didn't want to be "that guy" and pass in the line, so he just dropped out. Poor guy, it's the second year in a row he's been stuck behind a buggy that just can't move like the long travel cars. Maybe the beam cars need to also stay back behind the long travel cars? Just a suggestion after listening to his frustration. He still had fun. We also stopped for a little photo shoot with his Tatum and this guy jumped in the fun. I got some great photos of him, I'd like to share with him, maybe someone knows who he is? I assumed he was part of the buggy round up...

Friday morning camp had started to grow as everyone arrived and got ready for a morning dune run. Friday afternoon camp grew larger as more cars arrived and we hung, BS'd, etc. We headed out for a late day dune run. Tim's wheel/ lugnut acorn washers decided to fail and he destroyed a rim. Luckily he had dirt tires to put on so he could still run afterwards. I took the 500 out for another spin. Sandy the elf, once again, made an appearance this year and came out to party. I turned in early Friday night after a few beers and socializing. I wanted to be charged up for Saturday.

The road felt like a paved road this last weekend.

Smoking good time. Great people, great fun. Looking forward to next time.

What a great time, big hand to Pete for all the hard work that went into this roundup
