Passes are printed and should be available for sale to the public soon according to the BLM. Just be patient and they should return your call. Their office is still closed because of covid. 🙄 I know many vendors haven't received their passes yet. I'm sure this year's pandemic crap has delayed the whole process some. We'll just have to be patient. I'd say if you haven't heard anything back in a week or two to try calling again. 

I was able to get a hold of Katrina, the Barstow BLM manager, and she said their office is still closed to the public but they are checking voice messages. I'm not sure how long it takes for a return call.

Dumont passes have been printed and are in. They'll be on sale to the public soon. 

I can't really answer your other questions other than you'll need to submit a permit packet to vend at Dumont. Gonna have to just wait for a return call I suppose. 

Seems to be many people's experience lately. As soon as I hear something, I'll get it posted. I'll try reaching out via email again soon. 

I have had communication with a couple of them recently. I'll see if I can get some answers regarding these things. 

Weddle, Wright Gearbox, Rancho? 

Maybe do a slow cruise down the back stretch to comp and then cut into the dunes and hammer down on the south end. Slow then fast! haha 

Sounds fun. I'll try to be there. You leading this Trump run? lol

Ah nevermind. My buddy sold it to a friend of his who ended up selling it to some guy in Pahrump. That was many years ago. 

That's my friend's old car. I might be able to find out. 

Kelly's RV, but they book up fast!

Depends on what motor/ trans you have to turn them.

Is there service with at&t and Verizon?

Verizon, yes.

AT&T, we still haven't heard anything. 

I may have to email the cell tower guy again and see if he knows. 

Too early to start talking about Halloween weekend? Heck no. I'm really itching to get back out to Dumont this season. 

I've been hearing ridiculous rumors lately about Dumont being closed for Halloween and just felt like that needed to be cleared up. Dumont is not going to close. The trunk or treat is still even scheduled for Halloween night. 

🎃 Dates for Halloween weekend are Friday Oct 30 - Sunday, Nov 1. Halloween actually falls on Saturday night this year. 🤙🏻

So who's gonna be there? 

Sounds good! Thanks for chiming in. 🤟🏻

It was cold as hell at night! In the 30's!

It was just a pulloff/ dispersed camping area in Holcomb Valley. Lots of places up there. 

Rode Big Bear last weekend 🤘

A few weeks ago we headed up to Yellowstone. 

Usually zero people. One or two people may show up for a few hours in the morning, but every time we have gone in the summer, we have the place to ourselves. It's very dangerous to dune out there in the summer. Go over-prepared and dom't go at all unless you are experienced. 

😆good luck organizing that. I'd love to see the video though. 

Thanks for sharing! It gets ridiculously hot out there. The sand holds and radiates so much heat from the sun. It's like being on another planet. Glad you guys didn't have any issues. Sucks about the north pole. We'll get it put back up if no one else does. 

Not many people head out there during the summertime, although it would be the best time to capture the dunes. Good luck!

Welcome Steve. Yes, Dumont is HOT in the summertime. Plan on waiting until October or November. 

What other info are you looking for? 

Got the flag in the mail yesterday, Bruce. It looks awesome. I'll test it out in October. Thank you!

Summer is upon us. I always love hearing and seeing what everyone is up to during the warmer months. 

Just a couple weeks ago we camped with some friends up near the North Rim. The scenery and weather was awesome. 

🤣 That would work. I bet people would rock em.
