It was my first time to Dumont.
I had a great time. Before Dumont, the only sand I had ridden was at Pismo. Holy S**T was my first thoughts when I went up the big dunes and turned around to realize that I had to drive back down!
The trip was full of craziness. My friend broke his back when he was on the top of comp hill in 5 gear pinned riding the face. He was riding from right to left and went off the edge of witches eye (sp?) and cased it right into the other side. He compressed his spine and broke his 5th vertabrae.
My toys all broke.
On the way down the computer on my truck decided to freak out about 30 mins into my 10 hour drive. Thankfully I pulled the battery cable off for 10 mins and it worked fine after that. My buggy needed a new starter after the first ride out, then the front tire came off the bead and sand got inside the rim so it never sealed back up.
My quad's throttle cable broke after 2 days and the freakn vendors were all sold out.
The water heater quit on my new trailer, so cold showers were on order.
It was all worth it though. What a great place! Next time I'll go Monday through Saturday and leave early Saturday morning. When we arrived on Wednesday there were half a dozen camp sites and the sand was smooth as a babies bottom. That was my favorite time to ride.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the families of the lost duners. It's so sad.
