Wifey and I did a Shakedown run to Lone Pine Cali to see if my new tow setup for the MH and Jeep would stay together Everything help up great. Had to make some brake cable adjustments on the Lone Pine side. Jeep pushed us all the way down the mtn grades through Death and Panamint Valleys One there, Stayed at Boulder Creek RV just outside Lone Pine. Took the jeep to 10,000ft and did some hiking. Next Day we did some Movie Site touring around the Alabama Hills... If you haven't done this, you should... You also need to stop at the Movie Museum in Lone Pine. And some Arch finding in the Alabama Hills and some cool rock stuff Well, thats what we did last weekend 😎 What did you do😜 IrnBear

We got in on Thursday night. Friday started as a relaxing day in the sun, riding the ATC70's all over the place. Then it was time for a buggy run. We met Theron, Gary, and Greg at the South Pole and left from there. We probably should had gone out earlier. The shadows were short and the dunes were extremely bright! We headed back and played on the 70's some more. haha Once Ben arrived we headed back out. The dunes have already started shifting from the recent spring winds. I chose a line along a ridge that I have taken several times before and came up on quite the surprise. There was a HUGE hole/ trench along the dune. I slammed on the brakes, drove right into it, and kissed the nose of the car on the backside of the hole. We managed to hit it rather softly, but if we came ripping any faster and I didn't hit the brakes, it would have been ugly. I took a couple pics from multiple angles to try and show how big it was. 😲 Back at camp... On our earlier ATC ride, dentboy lost his phone. Using his wife's phone to track it, we found it laying in the sand. Watching the hockey game Friday night 🤘 Saturday...cleanup day. BLM and FoDD got 130 volunteers. Jimmy & Heather did a great job with lunch and the event was successful. Many thanks to everyone who helped volunteer. Some drone pics by Ben The Saturday dune run was great. We had a nice, big group. Anna and I drove out to check out the work on the cell tower. Many cement trucks were coming in. They were running loads of cement up to the top of the hill with loaders. Then @EY3BA11 and I took the two wheelers out. The sand was nice and felt to rip around. Back at camp...lazy time! Then more duning! Then on the way back, @rick10 had an unfortunate accident and rolled. 🙁 With a little help from everyone in the group, we managed to get him back after the left front wheel broke off. Luckily he wasn't injured and he ended up being in good spirits after the initial shock wore off. Then just as we got back to camp, we got word that ANOTHER one in our group rolled the next dune over. wtf! When we got back to camp, we saw the helicopter fly over and a CHP & ambulance along the finger dune. Apparently a little earlier, a kid came up short while airing it on out on a dirtbike and broke his ankles and femur. Ouch! There were some dune gremlins out that afternoon for sure! We had some dinner and watched Supercross was a super lazy day. We enjoyed the nice warm weather, packed it up for the season and headed home. ☮️ out Dumont! See ya in October.
