  1. This year (and decade!) is coming to a close! 2020 is almost here and many are gearing up to ring in the new year at Dumont. New Year's Eve is on Tuesday night this year. Being smack dab in the middle of the week, many duners have been asking us when the official New Year's weekend is. The answer to that is whenever you want it to be! I recently took a poll though and most people will be going out the weekend before. So I guess you can say the official weekend is before. Stay warm this New Year's! Be sure to fill your propane tanks and check your battery levels as it is usually one of the coldest weekends of the season. Don't lose your pups! Every New Year's weekend people light off fireworks. Dogs get scared and run off. Be sure your dog is always on a leash or inside at night. LED collars are a good idea and GPS trackers are even better if they go missing. Party Gear Get festive, pop a bottle, and make some noise around the fire. Tag #dumontduneriders in your New Year's photos on Instagram. New Year's topic Going out? Chime in.
  2. Why do you say that, cell tower boy? LOL And yes, it's a recent pic. Tower is up though.
  3. Lots of people are asking us lately when New Year's weekend is. It's whichever weekend you go!
  4. As of Dec 15th, the tower still wasn't up and running. Kinda strange how we were told that everything was done, but then we saw a bunch of solar up there over Buggy Roundup. Then we got this message on our FB. So NOW we wait. lol Whatever
  5. I've been thinking about getting a kit like this for our Sprinter van. It removes the valve core so they deflate much faster than the ones that screw on to the valve. Looks pretty easy. https://amzn.to/2Q29c6Y
  6. Probably the Tecopa Hot Springs Resort. I'd just fill up at home though. The weight savings is not worth the added time and detour.
  7. Saturday night flipcup... Camp photos from @bp-guy
  8. Saturday sunset cruise. I broke a tab on the way back. We ratchet strapped it up and I stopped of at Sunset hill where most of the group was hanging out.
  9. Quick Saturday afternoon group dune run after Dune Trivia...
  10. Wednesday... We showed up Wednesday night and we already had a few in camp: @sandmandan, @tmerrell, @Josh Weber, & Gary & Cindy. @jalper and @sandrash1 pulled in later that night. We got set up and were ready for the weekend. Thursday There were maybe only 3 other camps out there as the sun came up. Gary made me, Therron and Dan some amazing bloody marys. We all went for an afternoon cruise. Alper didn't get the memo, but we got him on the radio and he found us in no time flat. More people started showing up Thursday afternoon and by Thursday night we had the circle almost completely formed already! @bp-guy brought Sandy and her new boyfriend out and they put on a show. LOL Anna and Tim played with Amanda & Brian's dogs. We had an awesome sunset that night. Anna and Amanda posed for some sunset shots. And a full moon Dan & Amanda hosted a Trip-tip dinner. Holy cow it was good! @Dent boy showed up with his brand new, just barely done in time, twin turbo stroker LS! I'm so stoked he got it done in time. @ItsWeeks showed up and unloaded his Prius. LOL jk, it was parked behind his rig. The smudge pot was lit and that's Thursday!
  11. Thank you Ken. Glad you were able to make it out! Nice to meet you.
  12. Wow, what a fun weekend! Thank you all so much for coming out, contributing, donating, and participating to make Buggy Roundup such a success and a great time. We had right about 50 cars total and a really fun group as always. I think we served about 120-130 people on taco night! Please post up your photos and highlights here. I will add more when I recover from the weekend. haha I'm exhausted!
  13. Just kidding. That's what @sandmandan said when he sent me this pic of a film crew on the finger dune on Wednesday. Pretty cool! Gonna try to go get more pics. It's still over there, but they're wrapping it up today.
  14. We pulled in last night and had some cool, but nice weather. @sandmandan, @Josh Weber, Gary, and @tmerrell we're already here and set up for the weekend. We had some good laughs around the fire. Buggy Roundup is underway and looking great so far. There's probably only 5 other camps out here. The sand is a little damp but not wet. Should be a nice weekend!
  15. If anyone wants to donate ahead of time in order to get some raffle tickets, just use the donate link and print or show us the page from your phone how much you donated. You'll get a raffle ticket for every $5 donated or 5 for $20. We've got some cool stuff to give away. Cash is also accepted of course. I just wanted to give everyone an electronic method. https://www.dumontduneriders.com/invision/donate/
  16. Perfect! Stoked to meet and see everyone. I'm starting to wonder if 200 tacos will be enough. LOL Might have to go back to Costco for more tortillas.
  17. Well if they don't RSVP, they ain't getting tacos! LOL I'm going off of what we have on the list for a headcount. Hopefully there's enough. I will be hitting the Mexican market tomorrow. Costco is already done. I think we're good on griddles. We have at least 3 large ones. Bring tables if you have any. They will help for places to eat.
  18. Sounds good! Glad to see so many first timers are making it this year.
  19. Mark your calendar for the next Dumont cleanup. It's Saturday March 14th, 2020.
  20. 3-14-20 Sorry, I'll get it on the calendar now
