"Goodbye 2020" indeed and good riddance! Few questions:

 

Will Dumont be open New Years?

Will there be trash collection, vendors and campfires allowed?

Do I need a pass?

Anyone seen my iPhone and or German Shepard?

 

Cheers @dunefreak thanks for keeping us current and site up and running!

 That's exactly how it goes though. I post the info, then people ask the exact questions I posted the answers to. It's like I'm hosting the dumbest game of Jeopardy ever! 

Thanks bud.

I have a 26' Class C Motorhome and have not been to Dumont ever. Are there hard dirt or asphalt roads that will allow me to get to a great spot to stay for the Thanksgiving 2020 weekend or will I get bogged down and stuck in sand. I'm not sure my motorhome can even handle a few decent ruts. Is seems that I have very little clearance.

 

Any feedback would be helpful.

 

Thanks,

Curt

You can get to plenty of decent spots. You just need to avoid the soft areas or keep you momentum. The hardest packed area is off to the left as soon as you get up the hill from the entrance road. When you see the ranger station on your right, hang a left into the camp area.

Do we have service yet out there at Dumont Dunes or what? 

 

Yes, Verizon kicks ass. Still no other carriers though. Those guys are slacking.

Lifting of the fire ban is great news! Thanks for passing this along. Also, it looks like camp fires are still banned when under a Red Flag Warning or Fire Weather Watch. 

But there isn't one for Dumont so we're good. 

I fixed the link. It was listed twice in the same URL. Should be good now. Thanks for the heads up.

What are the odds that the open flame ban will be lifted before the event? And how do you get the fire permit?

Odds? Who knows, but I think good. Fire permit? It's linked in the FIRES bullet point in the post.

Do you happen to have any more pictures of this crash?

I don't. This was just a pic that a friend sent. 

Looks like towards camp. It's that little valley behind comp. I call it the half pipe area.

Unfortunately yes this is a bad time for everyone not trying to be a Debbie Downer but people from all over go to Dumont Dunes especially people that have been in hi affected areas I don't believe the dunes should be open because people still come in contact with each other and once they've had a few drinks they let their guard down people camp in groups again Taking Chances bathrooms might be cleaned but not every time you use them I think it this time it is Unthinkable that the Dune should be open you never know who you could pass the virus on to

Except every example you made doesn't follow the CDC guidelines/ recommendations. As long as you don't go out in groups, you maintain your distance, wash your hands, etc there is no threat of spreading or contracting the virus. The whole point is to NOT let your guard down.

I don’t post here much but Allways check the site super glad your back threw som cask at you to keep it going.the site is great . Just wondering is there a way you could have supporting members . Or that probably turns it more into a job 

I appreciate that. I am looking at a way to do that so I can get a little more help with things but it'll take some time to implement. Thanks for the support!

Thank you guys! @Crusty & @DuNe~Rydher

What's even greater than the donations themselves is the comments on here and in everyone's memo on their donation. I'm feelin the love and appreciate everyone's kind words. Often times I wonder if many of the things I do with the site go unnoticed and they apparently do not. Thanks again guys.

Kicked in some cash Pete, we appreciate you. Might want to throw up one of those goal charts, show us where you need to be, where your at, and what is left to meet your goal. Then we’d know how much to throw in. Nobody wants to leave you hanging 

 

Rob 

Thanks Rob. I have no idea how to do that. We're close to having it covered. Any extra will go to the website account to cover regular maintenance and site costs.
