Are those front shocks off of a dirtbike? :rainbow1:

Aww that was you guys? I was looking for you when I pulled in but didn't see your rig.

Thanks and you're welcome :rainbow1: Good times, bud. No way. haha Wish I would have known that. I would have said hi. Thanks Rob. Having both cameras helped out. I had my shock and sand proof one in my holster (pocket ) for the quick shots when on a ride and the 50D in my backpack for "Pete's pretty flowery pics" and other decent shots when the wind wasn't blowing.

Saturday I rolled out solo and met up with rushjunkie and group. I'm glad I did too. It was a great day out there and the dunes were bitchen. It was a little windy at times, but not unbearable. Just enough wind to keep those dunes perfectly groomed all day. It was only a little annoying at times back at the truck since we had to hang on the the EZ UP during a couple of those gusts. One hand on your beer and thumb over the hole to keep the sand out and one hand hanging on to the canopy. The breeze felt great though. If it weren't for the slight bit of wind it would have been a tad warm in the sun. I was surprised to see so many people out there. When I rolled in there were even quite a few people leaving. Maybe they had the week off for spring break or something. Then the camp area had more trailers than normal for a completely off weekend. We saw a few other duners during our rides, but it didn't slow us down at all. The rides were just like a few weeks ago- sitting down almost the whole time and pinned in 4th and 5th. The transitions were smooth, yet most the dunes were still razored out which made it fun for some dune flopping. It was super bright out there. Not a cloud up in the sky made it a little unpredictable to negotiate the dunes until the sun got low. So overall it was a great trip. I made it home and was unloaded in 1hr 40 minutes. This trip only cost me a total of about 40-50 bucks too. Awesome! I'm not 100% sure if I am done yet. I might still go out for another weekend trip with the car. It was great meeting up and tearing it up, Eddy. Thanks for a good time bro. :rainbow1: Here are the pics... Heading out and seeing dunes in the distance! I always get anxious along this stretch of the 127 going down the hill. Road was in great shape again. DDR midget still hasn't turned off the valve to the river A bunch of action at the pay station for an off weekend Everyone still stopped and payed even though rangers weren't there. Pulling into camp Chillen at the south pole... Troops mailbox still looks great! Dumont is blooming After a ride just kickin back... some pics from comp... SMOOTH sand So smooth it made it hard to get traction at times (on 2 wheels that is )

I know I was looking forward to that trip as well, but can't pass up the offer on this. SKINNER hooked up the spot and twisted my arm. Damn...decisions decisions.

Don't feel bad. I didn't call or write anyone else either. I just posted it on here. Cool. Wherever works for me. I usually park near the tall part of the dune down just from bathroom 6, but let me know when you get there if you haven't heard from me yet.

That guy fuggin pissed me off while I was watching that. wtf? Eff your la la's, biatch!

It's looking good! I would love to bring my car, but I'm just gonna throw the quad in the back of truck again and go.

say what?????

Sean it was actually yesterday when I posted it. But whatever. Cheers bitchezz. haha

I was all about 2 wheels in the sand until about 2 years ago. Now I stick to the hard pack when it comes to 2 wheels. For the sand, I ride my Rappy and drive my sandcar. When it was my only bike I was all about it. Then I moved on to other addicitions in the sand. my YZ

happy national beer day. 77 years ago today beer was finally legal for sale in the US. Eff you prohibition. :cheesebong: :peeps:

Hmm, I'm really starting to toss around the idea of going out Saturday and meeting up with you, Eddy. I will keep you posted. When are you planning on pulling in?

This is gonna be stupid fun...really stupid. I can't wait. hahaa

Sweet! That's some :atc: air right there. Those things rip. Cool pics and nice plug.

Stephen's reply this morning,

That's no excuse, Dave!

finally a winner. closed

Thanks for sharing, guys. It sounds like it was a good time as usual, BUT....

Hey Neal if you don't mind, post up or pm me whenever you go out. I will be doing some similar trips over the next 2 months or so.

yep! Hauler and all. SKINNER is hookin up the rv spot. Should be a great weekend. Are you camping too, Andre? We should hook up and party sometime over the weekend out there. I was gonna go to D one last weekend trip, but work hasn't picked up enough yet. So off to the drags it is.

wow, so this place DOES have a heart beat. sweet Keep the posts coming. It's great to hear what everyone is up to in their daily lives. Wow, twins? Congrats Andy. And congrats Jakster on the new place!

Well it looks like less and less people have been going through Tecopa. I just received this e-mail from the manager of the Tecopa hot springs... My reply...

I don't see alot of talk about the dunes lately, yet there's always a ton of peeps online. Maybe everyone is just about done for the season. If that's the case, let's hear what else you all have been up to. And don't say work. Everyone works (except for OGP ) As for me, I have been gearing up hard to start hitten nearby places to ride. With this really nice spring weather, I have made it a goal to ride every weekend and maybe even once or twice during the week after work if the day permits. These longer days might allow for a quick fix. Most of our trips we had planned are on hold until work picks back up. But in the meantime, there are so many places that we forget we have to explore around Vegas. I am really looking forward to getting my old YZ250 sold and start shopping for a newer dual sport 650. Other than riding, Anna & I have just been doing a couple improvements around the house and enjoying each other's company. We find that during slower periods at work, we go out a little less and stay in. There's nothing like enjoying a backyard fire, grilling up some meat and tossing back some cold beers. So if you were inclined enough to click and read this topic, go ahead and post up anything that you have been up to lately. Did you dog crap on the floor? How about your kid's newest stupid thing he or she does? Maybe you have been sitting on your a$$ staring at the wall for the last 4 weeks? Did you organize your sock drawer? Let's hear about it.
