Ok so here it is! I wrapped up the video from Buggy Roundup 10. Grab a beer and enjoy it on your big TV for best results. haha 

 

 

Some more photos from the weekend. Video is almost done. 

 

 

Thank you Tim for capturing all these awesome photos! Such an awesome trip. Really great seeing everyone like you said. 

Some grabs from the drone on Saturday at Comp. That was so much fun watching everyone play and race on the hill. It was like the old days when Comp was fun!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's kind of a matter of personal preference. I put in the cooler white like 5500K and it felt like a operating room in there. lol It was weird. So I put in the warm white (3500K) and they look more normal and they're still plenty bright. You could always go cooler white in the kitchen and bathroom and warm in the bedroom and under cabinets. 

Thanks to each and every one of you who came out to keep the tradition of Buggy Roundup alive. The final count was 75 sandcars! Best trip of the season. You guys are awesome. 

 

More photos and video to come. 

 

Please post up any photos or favorite highlights. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Stoked to see everyone. Just a few more days! Don't forget to bring a little something to add to sandcars and coffee on Saturday morning if you guys don't mind. Don't go nuts! We don't need an extra 100 donuts. LOL 

 

And we have some killer raffle prizes to give away this year!

Hell yeah. Gettin close. Looking forward to seeing everyone!

Thanks for sharing, Cody. Sucks about the trans. Get it fixed up so you can make Buggy Roundup!

Road update as of last weekend in case you missed my trip report.

 

Two lanes fully paved to just past the water crossing. There are markers set up around the pay station and up to the visitor center where they'll likely pave after the holiday weekend. It was really nice and felt so foreign pulling in and out of Dumont on pavement. 

 

I always go Tecopa but the Pahrump was is pretty smooth from what I remember.

The road is 100% complete now? Or are there a few small things left? Thanks for the update!

 

They still have to pave the pay station area and up to the top by the ranger station, but the road is paved and 2 lanes all the way from the highway to just past the water crossing. They may have some shoulder work they'll be doing but it looks done to me! It's awesome. 

We had a great first trip of the season last weekend. Thursday and Friday were nice and warm with some smooth, fast, flowy dunes. They weren't as sketchy as I expected them to be but they were pretty sharp and steep. 

 

The new entrance road was just being finished up as I rolled in. It was beautiful! lol

 

Our buddy Gary built an ATC beer trailer out of an old 1939 wagon! Pretty cool. 

 

Hello Dumont. It's been way too long. 9 months for me this year! Way too long.

 

A couple vendors were already there for Halloween.

 

Thursday morning I rebooted the router so the Dumont wifi would be refreshed. lol

 

Thursday afternoon the 3 of us went for a ride to check out the dunes and the new cancer memorial ting near south pole. 

 

The rest of the crew arrived and the sun went down. Weather was perfect!

 

 

 

Friday morning we joined groups with the pooper 10 crew and had a nice big line of buggies. 

 

 

 

Friday afternoon it was toasty. I cleaned up my solar panels to maximize my charging. I know. My roof is filthy. lol

 

We hung out in the shade since it was too bright to dune.

 

 

On our earlier run to the north pole we noticed the flag on the teeter totter desperately needed replacing so we handled it. 

 

 

 

 

 

When the only shade out there is from the pole, we use it. lol

 

 

Then we stopped off at Sunset Hill.

 

 

 

 

 

Saturday was a complete blowout as expected. The winds were fierce all day but we still squeezed in a quick ride when it calmed down for a minute. then it blew hard and it was a painful ride. Still fun though!

 

 

 

 

Then Saturday night Alayna and Jerry messaged me needing help after they buried their new coach. We assembled the crew and got em out after a while. 

 

Playing tug-o-war with a Ford or what? lol

 

 

Sunday we woke up to much colder weather and still some wind so we packed it up. I was out of fuel by them anyways. We duned alot! Awesome trip. 

 

The completed road leaving Dumont was amazing. Nice and smooth! I love it and my trailer will too.

 

 

 

I've got a ton of GoPro footage and other video I'll be working on so stay tuned for that. 

 

Paving is almost done! Photos from Jamie N from the DDR Facebook group

The last few seasons worked pretty well for the Trunk or Treat, though I didn't feel the spirit like it used to. We all used to hop in trucks and head camp to camp, all with decorated camps and such. That's when it was the coolest, IMO! Part of the fun was driving around the flats until we saw a camp all lit up and decorated.

 

I couldn't agree more! 👍

 

It sort of falls into the same category as everyone going to comp hill at night. Nothing is stopping everyone from gathering in a particular place. But when it is advertised and organized, BLM requires a permit for such activities due to liability. I wouldn't expect rangers to do anything about it unless the crowd was posing a safety threat or it was getting out of control, which it seems like it would. Hell...it got out of control even when it was "organized". 

 

 

Hey guys. I like those 360 flag mounts. Gonna have to order some of those up.  

If you are a vendor and will be on vendor row for Halloween weekend, please post up to let everyone know you'll be there and what you'll have to offer.
