  1. Some more pics... Wednesday night. It was empty and chilly, but the 3/4 supermoon lit up Dumont! Thursday morning was quiet...VERY quiet. It was nice. @sandmandan and I both had radiator cap issues (small leak), so we messed with that for a bit. Then we went out to survey those smooth dunes. They were difficult to read, almost like summertime, but they were so awesome. Although it was just 2 buggies, Buggy Roundup 5 had begun! Back at camp, Anna enjoyed some sunshine in her hammock. Did I mention we had the place all to ourselves? I took my 500 out for a cruise. There was another group of buggies already out there camped behind the rock pile. One of the guys stopped by a couple times to chat. Nice guy and wicked car. Later in the day when the sun got a bit lower, we headed back out to make some more tracks and enjoy the emptiness of the dunes. Our radiator caps were still dripping a little, but if that was the worst thing that happened all weekend we were ok with it! We finished off the day with a quick cruise over to the sunset hill. We were a little late to the show, but it was good enough. Friday to be continued.....
  2. Everything ynot said is spot on. I love my Tech 3! You can't go wrong with one. When they pop up for sale they don't last very long so be ready. They usually are priced in your price range, sometimes even cheaper. The Honda 3.5 or 3.2 is the motor you want. VERY reliable and makes plenty of power even without a turbo, but a turbo is way more fun. Good luck!
  3. The road felt like a paved road this last weekend.
  4. This trip gets better and better every year. I don't know exactly how many cars showed up, but there were about 30 buggies in the group photo and a few back at camp still so probably 35 total. Everyone was super cool. We met a bunch of new friends this weekend and had a great time with everyone. We couldn't have asked for better weather or dune conditions. Having the place pretty much all to ourselves helped with that many buggies running together. Those dunes were soooo good. I'd like to thank everyone for coming out and making this trip come together. Anna and I had a ton of fun. Here's the group photo by Neal Rideout. We attempted to make an oval camp this year but it turned into an "8" of some sort. Still a good sized camp! Drone pics by 619 Action Photo,@bp-guy
  5. Congrats!! Sorry you couldn't make it out last weekend. But there will be many more trips to come.
  6. It was a perfect weekend! Trip report to come. Dead tired for now though. Sucks you couldn't make it out.
  7. The dunes are so smooth you'd never think Thanksgiving was just 2 weeks ago. These are like summertime with weird stuff everywhere...drop offs and shelves where rollers usually are. @sandmandan and I put a small beating on them this morning and we layed some tracks down, but it'll take a couple more runs to get some lines burned in. Don't worry. We'll handle it. 👌 The weather is great and there's only 3 other small camps here but us. Looking forward to seeing everyone for Buggy Roundup 5! Let's do this.

    Welcome to DDR! Great. See you this weekend. Awesome, Rod! Looking forward to it. I'm just about ready. Just gotta go shopping, load up and roll out Wed night.

    Bummer, Neal, but glad you are making it out.
  14. I added a map for camp location on the event details for those who don't know. As you come up the hill past the ranger station, stay on the road until you see bathroom 10. Camp will be just off the road on the side right. When you pull up to camp and aren't sure where to park, don't sweat it. It's first come, first served. There are no parking assignments. If you are new and don't know many people, just ask for Pete. Keep in mind the circle will have to stay fairly big to accommodate everyone and an outer circle may even be necessary, but we'll all be camping together so keep it tight.

    Camp location: off to the right of the entrance road across from bathroom 10.

    That's too bad, Brad. If anything changes don't hesitate to roll out and join us. Even if it's just to come out for a taco and a beer. haha And if you can't make it, let's make it a point to get together on an off weekend soon and camp together.
  17. until

    I have to work Monday so no. I'll probably stick around until mid afternoon though on Sunday. I'll be getting out there Wed night.
  18. There's always someone. What were they complaining of? Link has been removed. Thanks Phil.

    Doesn't matter. The RSVP is just so we can estimate what size group we'll have for camp and to plan for the taco night. If you don't know until the day of, don't sweat the RSVP. Come on out regardless.
