Although the dunes were damp from the recent rain, I was loving every minute of duning this weekend. The sand had some good traction, but had just enough slide factor and was even dry and fluffy in some areas. Our dune runs were fast! Leading was much easier this weekend with all those distinguished lines. We had a nice sized camp of 8 rigs or so. The weather was awesome! I didn't take as many good pics as usual, but grabbed a handful of quick pix with my phone and point & shoot camera.
Banshee Wars/ 4 Stroke Wars drew quite a crowd. The wet sand allowed them to park a bunch of RVs over at Banshee Hill.
MMM, fancy cheese! Thanks Rod! (@Mustache Motorsports)
We set up our roof tent to show everyone how it worked. Since it was up, Anna and I relaxed in it for a bit. It's like our own hammock in the sky.
@RUn2it & @FE135 talked about the good ole days after Lee busted out some cool old photos from the hill climbs in the 70's. It's funny how many of the dunes are still the exact same shape.
Rod & Blake put on nice G52 Funco show! Neal didn't miss a beat and grabbed his camera for some shots. I only managed to snap a couple.
After our dune run on Saturday, we stopped on the sunset hill.
Those Banshees went at it until the sun went down.
Neal duned his FJ up the hill. He got pretty close to us after a couple attempts.
The sunset didn't disappoint as usual.
After the sun went down, Supercross went up! Thanks for setting it all up Chad (@Dent boy)
@JVZ still had a Christmas tree to burn. I love watching those go up!
Race gas in the sand.
"Doc" tweekin on something. I snuck a pic in.
Sunday morning we had perfect weather again. It was a very chill day.
A small group of us went on a nice, slow "champagne cruise" from the south end to the north pole.
I brought out stuff for breakfast mimosas at the north pole. Between the 6 of us, we all had a nice little toast to the great weekend. We hung out and enjoyed the nice weather for a while out there. We were in no rush to head back. This has become a new tradition on dune runs over the last year.
I was surprised how many people were out there on a Sunday. Most people seemed to have Monday off. That's probably why.
Anna relaxed in her "don't bother me chill zone"
We stayed until the sun went down. Jason (@JeepingJay36) fired up his smoker and made everyone some bomb ass BBQ burgers!
A couple last photos before heading out. Great weekend!
