  1. BLM has been trying to come up with a management plan for Dumont, most importantly for vendor row, that follows the San Bernardino county and CDC guidelines. I think they are stalling on calling people back, getting the passes out, etc until that plan is in place. They are holding an emergency meeting today (Friday) and hopefully we have some answers and call backs. There is a small chance Dumont can get closed down (being in CA) because of this COVID crap. If they cannot manage it or if people don't abide by the rules, it'll either be temporarily closed off completely or there will no bathrooms, medical staff, etc like a government shutdown. It's a pretty messed up situation for them.
  2. Yes, all of the above! Go nuts. Halloween is a blast.

    Thanksgiving Weekend 2020: 11/26/2020 - 11/29/2020 Dune Master and Sand Piper Old School Buggy Sand Drags and Hill Climbs are Friday and Saturday. The drag races will be Friday, November 27th starting at 10am on the flats on the way to the North Pole. The hill climbs will be held on Saturday, November 28th also starting at 10am on the big hill just to the left of comp hill.
  4. Dec 12-13 weekend is Buggy Roundup 8! This year will be a little different due to the flu that is going around and CDC guidelines, but we are still a go! Calling all sandcars! Come join us at Dumont Dunes for our 8th Annual Buggy Roundup. The Buggy Roundup is an annual Dumont trip when all the sandcar people are invited to come out and camp together as a group. We'll be camped together across from bathroom 10, just off the right side of the entrance road. This trip gives the buggy guys and girls of Dumont a chance to meet each other and run the dunes together for a full weekend without the crowds. So don't be a stranger. Every year we have new people join the camp and end up leaving as friends. There is no set schedule of events, but Saturday will likely go something like this... 8:00 AM -~10 AM: Sandcars and Coffee: Pull your car into the center of camp. (Or park it there the night before) Grab some coffee, say good morning to everyone, and check out all the buggies. Saturday Afternoon: The rest of the day will involve duning, maybe another buggy weigh-off, dune trivia, and more group dune runs! There will be no taco night this year due to the social distancing restrictions in place. Want in? Here's what you need to do. 1) At the top of this page, click GOING... 2) Bring your buggy to Dumont and join in on the fun. Don't be a stranger. Park with the group. If you don't know anyone, just ask for PETE. Forum Topic Discussion... COVID-19 Guidelines we must follow this year Stay home if you are sick Wash your hands frequently and use hand sanitizer Cover your nose & mouth when coughing or sneezing Regularly clean common touched items Wear a face mask when in high risk areas such as indoors (RVs) with members of other households or outdoors when 6 feet of distancing is not possible or within close proximity of each other. Please limit gatherings of people in close proximity within camp. Social distancing of 6 feet or more There will be no central campfire and each RV will have their own fire. Should anyone get sick during the event, they should leave Dumont Dunes so as to reduce the exposure potential to others at the event.
  5. This year's Halloween Trunk or Treat, presented by the Friends of Dumont Dunes and the Barstow BLM, will take place at the south end of Vendor Row on Saturday, October 31, 2020 from 6 to 8pm. Arrive at 5pm to setup your OHV and get the best parking spot. Everyone is encouraged to come in a costume and to decorate their ride. Bring extra candy to hand out as well as a bucket or bag for the kid's to trick-or-treat with. Please practice social distancing as well as the same CDC guidelines that we have all been accustomed to. A note from FoDD...

  6. To answer your question, it has nothing to do with the postal service. Johnny Walker RV, who sells the passes here in Vegas, gets them hand delivered and counted by BLM staff. 😮 I was shocked to hear that but it explains why they haven't gotten theirs yet.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. I have had communication with a couple of them recently. I'll see if I can get some answers regarding these things.
  11. 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
  12. Sounds fun. I'll try to be there. You leading this Trump run? lol
  13. 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.
  14. That's my friend's old car. I might be able to find out.

    Kelly's RV, but they book up fast!
  16. Depends on what motor/ trans you have to turn them.
  17. 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.
  18. 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?
  19. Sounds good! Thanks for chiming in. 🤟🏻
  20. 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.
  21. A few weeks ago we headed up to Yellowstone.
  22. 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.
  23. 😆good luck organizing that. I'd love to see the video though.
