Thats good to hear, Becky. I figured something would have been on DD.com if it was one of his buddies, but never I saw anything. Good to hear they are ok. Let us know how he is if you hear anything else.

I heard there was a burn incident at Dumont last weekend. A buggy with a front engine had the radiator hose spray on the driver, and a little on the passenger. They evacuated the driver with 36% of his body in second degree burns. The driver's first name is Jim. Does anyone know him or how he is doing? I hope he and the passenger are ok. :boyyy:

cool Call me when ya get there. Glitter guldge? Last time I went there (and the only time) it was a 3 drink minimum per person and you had to buy them all at the same time. For two of us it was 36 dollars for 6 beers all at once. I told the guy call you hang on to those so they don't get warm, wtf? He said no you have to have them all at the same time. Needless to say...we left. :boyyy:

I think I am going down to Fremont tonight for the Mint 400 tech/ preparty. Maybe I'll see you DDR people down there. :boyyy: Eddie you still in town? Let's meet up, mofo. :afro:

I have never done a full weekend that late in the season, but I have been out during the hot months. Be sure to have plenty of water and gas for your generator for AC. Don't ever ride alone either. You sure that race isn't on that Sunday too? If so, good luck getting around those racers. They don't like to move at all and they make you and your rig drive go around them so you have to drive in the oncoming traffic lane. (I think they like black diesel smoke though lol) Be sure to give yourself plenty of time leaving.

I hate to break the news to ya Andy, but I don't think you are ever getting that fuel back...even if someone found it. :chkn:

I think I might try to go out Saturday morning to check it out and play it by ear all day. I'm gonna make a Thirsty Thursday outta the tech and street party on Fremont.

I second that. If not, I hope we do. :chkn:

haha, I even posted "RENEWED" in caps last year. I wouldn't call $140 almost 200, but still good to see it go down. I didn't even notice.

but mines over 2 years old and still that much

well, not really (a slightly built small block 400 under the hood- not really an economy car)

I just RENEWED mine a couple weeks ago for $560.00!!!!

Wow, just got diesel today for 3.85 a gallon at Van Waganon and Lake Mead! I can't decide how to spent all the crazy cash I saved today.

Anna and I did a lil yard work yesterday digging for a new and improved fire pit in the back yard. Tonight we went out and celebrated my neices 14th birthday at the cheesecake factory. Now I'm too fat to finish the yard work.

aww come on, not more about our user fee money j/k As for that though, our fees were only raised AFTER the grant money and funding was cut. Glamis gets it's funding from green sticker money, Dumont does not. Not sure why that is. My only b*tch with this whole thing is how Dumont is treated with the grant money. It's almost like "ok if there is any left over and if we don't blow it all in other places, you guys can have some afterwards." The only thing I'd like to see the grant money go towards at Dumont (if they got any) would be for better rescue vehicles that are there with the camp hosts at all times and so our user fees don't keep going up and up because of lack of state backing and funding for Dumont Dunes rec area.

come on, warrior! You're slackin, jackass!

Thats about as good as I can get it.

I'm gonna try and make it out. Maybe I'll roll the hooptie out for this. :afro:

Geez, it's not even summer yet! I'm sure there will be a big group that is interested in going again this year.

Sounds like you are one of those who believe that there is a fee money conspiracy. Lynnette, of the BLM, explained this in detail back at a TRT meeting. Whether or not you trust me or her, it does make sense when I heard it explained. With all the passengers in each rig and annual pass holders, it averages out to be what they say is taken in.

What would we need the grants for? I'll tell you what for. So our user fees don't keep going up and up or for better rescue vehicles and equipment. I have no problem paying for the use of Dumont, but when the grants were cut last year WE payed the difference. Again, I don't mind paying it, but when the sate of California uses grant money like this (for new dirtbikes, a Rhino, a Tahoe, and a commant post) only to PATROL more in other areas, it just seems like money spent foolishly. You seem to be missing my point of this topic. :beer_bang:

I believe the river crossing is called the Amargosa River Crossing. As for other items, they welcome any and all public input when it is time for questions and comments, but at the same the TRT doesn't want the public to treat it as a b*tch session. It is for constructive discussion for items at Dumont Dunes. I urge you to go to one of the meetings though if you have any ideas or things that might help the BLM.

The way it is worded, yes it sounds like it. I think they meant the 97K was also for the "Chevrolet Tahoe truck, Rhino trail utility vehicle and 46-foot command post". They didn't write that too well....unless they really DID spend that much on 2 badass bikes. :shocked2: Can you even spend that much on 2 bikes?

What money are you talking about? This thread isn't about Dumont user fee money. Its about state grants that get distributed to the state's entities. NONE of this grant money that I am talking about gets used for Dumont. Maybe just maybe the CA Sherrif's dept might use that new Tahoe to come out on a big weekend at Dumont to help patrol, but none of the vehicles purchased nor the command post is used for Dumont. It is for areas like Stoddard Wells and other places. And as for the money that is taken in, I have no clue where you are getting your figures from. 1 million dollars annually from Dumont user fees?? Take at look at the figures from 06/07. You will see that there was no where near 1 million dollars collected. That is for another thread though. :shocked2:

no sweat....it can stay this time. :shocked2: ooh la la
