  2. It was a fun day for me on Sunday. Woke up at 11:30pm Saturday, hit the road at midnight. Rolled into camp at 5:30am. No one was up so I just relaxed in my truck for a while. Newly got up and we talked for a few then decided it was time for everyone to get up so I unloaded my car and Newly fired his up. Other people slowly arrived, I met a few new people which is always a good thing.

    Did 3 good rides then the heat was getting too much and I was loaded back on the road at 2pm. Got home just before 8pm. and passed out in bed. 11 hours of driving my truck to and from Dumont and a few hours in the sand. Totally worth the effort to do it. I had electronic power steering installed on the car and all I can say is HELL YES. What a difference that made, no more feedback through the steering wheel on bumps and super easy to turn while duning.

    My only regret is not having my go-pro on when YNOT did his Randog impression on a wheelie. He had his car damn near straight up and down on a side hill. I though he was going to roll that thing but he managed to pull it off and didn't miss a beat and kept on leading the ride.

    My next Dumont trip might not be till Presidents. So some of you better step up and make it down to Glamis. If I can do Dumont for a day, You can do Glamis for a weekend.

  3. Well, guys bad news...we are NOT going to be able to make this trip. My son has his College football game down in LA on Saturday night starting at 7pm. I wouldn't get back home until 12:30-1 am time frame. Not enough sleep to drive that far at 6am and dune for 4-6 hours then another 3 hour drive back home. But hey, this is just the start of the season! Many more weekend and day trips in the future. Seriously going to go in Nov. for a weekend trip. You guys in Vegas are lucky that it's only 1 1/2 hour drive max!

    have fun, be safe and take a few pictures for us that cannot make it!

    5 hour one way drive for me... cough cough.. Just do it!!!

  4. These were a few years ago in Glamis. We all must have done 50 wheelies off this lip. It was a ton of fun that day.

    And this one hangs in my kitchen- It was the first picture I took that made it into a magazine. I hung it for pride that I made a magazine, Now it hangs in memory of a lost friend.

    One thing I will never forget is his smile. Quirky smile but if fit him perfect and will be hard not seeing it again. I was one of the breakdown victims that Bert came to the rescue. He chased a bad ground in Talladega bowl and we fixed it enough to get back to camp. Not too many people out there just jump right in and help out and not expect anything in return. We can/should all learn from this man that its not about getting something in return but just helping out and doing the right thing.

  5. How can land be closed down without first notifying the public? I have never been there but would like to someday. Seems as though someone wants to take land and keep it " Temporarily Closed" until they get the info they are after to permanently keep it that way.

    Why can't this study take place while that area is shared with the off-road community? Counting beetles seems kinda pointless, You count some one day and on another day you get a higher or lower number? Who says you didn't miss any the first day?

    Have the Beetles sign up for Obama Care- Then you will get the number!
