I saw that too. I couldn't tell which rail was the one that was in the accident though.

I hear ya. It just sounded like a big part of your post was because our fees went up and that there should be more rescue vehicles and personel because of it. I completely agree they should have been better prepared. It's pretty scary knowing that if something happened out in the middle of the dunes that there would be limited ability for rescue crews. It's just one more reason not to dune by yourself. Wow, I actually agree with you this time! Although the camp host Rhino isn't wider or LT, it has been worked over some.... http://www.dumontduneriders.com/project_rescue_rhino.html I think Don's Rhino is probably a little more agile and can go some places a full size truck can go though.

I hope the victim(s) are ok. Sad to hear of any accidents. Let me set the record straight about the fees (like I have a million times in the past). The increase in fees does NOT pay for any extra rescue staff. You aren't going to see changes. The fee increase was to make up for funding that Dumont lost last year. It is sad to say...but I think that Dumont does not have the funding to provide medical and rescue staff on every weekend like the large holiday weekends. I think the holiday weekends abosrb most of fee money because the demand is so much larger on those weekends. I hope this doesn't start another arguement about the stupid fees. I'm just trying to give an inside look at what the INCREASE was all about. (to make up for lost funding for what we already had) If there was to be medical staff personel on site 24 hrs a day with many different vehicles could you imagine what we'd be paying then? It looks like the camp host was there. (the white rescue Rhino) Was he the one who transported the victim(s) or no? Regardless. I agree the rescue crew should have come out with better vehicles to assist with this accident. Thats just pathetic regardless of what we're paying. BTW, welcome to the site

Ok cool. I should be there Thursday night with Steveo, OGP and Joe Duner. I have a feeling that will happen EVERY night this weekend. I'll try and find your guys' camp though and swing by. Other than that, feel free to cruise by our place at C6 on the map.

Ok. What day are you you going out for this weekend?

We should be able to contribute quite a bit this year. Thanks to those very generous folks who have donated so far we have raised 450 bucks.

fuggin toyhauler tricks It was ok except for that ONE spot along the 95. YIKES

Don't forget to set your clocks ahead an hour. Time for those longer summer days. (BTW, DDR adjusts automatically on your pc if you have the DST Correction box checked under My controls/ board settings.)

Sweet pics! Pomona is always fun. I haven't been in a few years.

That sucks. At least you didn't have to drive all the way up there to drop it off.

I was speaking with Terry about the raffle and I think this year they'll have just one pot for all the prizes. It will go faster that way. Last year took FOREVER to get through them all. They had ALOT of chit to give out. Whats with the quotes? "buy", "hook up" ??? Anyways, yeah I was going to check with some of the site sponsors first before I go pick some stuff up and see about some deals to make our dollar go as far as possible.

Sure I might bring the grizzly too this year so we came reek havoc throughout the entire park. Samurai gets loaded FIRST this time though.

Damn, Randog! You made it on the website!

yes........hijack :shocked2:

Pete you can park w/ me and our group if ya want. PM me for day & time we're all getting there and all that fun jazz.

I love the HOB, but ONLY when the show doesn't sell out. They oversell the f*ck outta those tickets and cram way too many people in that place. Probably a major hazard in the event of an emergency.

I slept right through it. Had to work today. I just listened to the message. :beer_bang: Once I figure out how to upload it, it's going up. :beer_bang:

Well I hardley ever get "good" mileage when towing but I can tell you I got about twice as much as wsky70. This is wsky70's gasser...

Here is what I paid in Blythe going to G last weekend. Needles was even more! 4.10/ gallon. Even in town it has gotten up to $3.69/ gal. Dumb as fk! :beer_bang: Time to park the DMax and drive the Z71. :beer_bang:

It looks like we will have much cooler temps this year...THANK GOD! :beer_bang: weather forecast for cleanup weekend It was like 113+ degrees last year with record highs that were just rediculous. Everybody was scroungin for shade! :beer_bang:

Ted (racerX) pm'd me with some info about it. Here is most of what he sent me. (He knew the guy) very sad!

Is this about Pauly's crown or your dogs? :beer_bang: :beer_bang:

No no no, I used my own funds (basically $$$ that is taken in from site sponsors who pay to advertise on here) to purchase the shirts. That money always goes right back into the site in one way or another. The money that was donated from you guys is used for raffle prizes which I will be picking up starting this weekend. I knew you were kidding, but still wanted to clarify that. He meant the shirts Steve is SELLING (Sandcrazd t-shirts). He wants to pick up some of THOSE. Come on! :beer_bang:

Last time I saw Bad religion (at the Joint) it wasn't that great. I just couldn't get into it.

This year I have teamed up again with Sandcrazd to get some shirts made up for those DDR members who come out for the cleanup. It is just another way of saying thanks for coming out and helping as a group that care. Steve at Sandcrazd came through big time this time around. I made the last minute phone call on Wednesday to see if he was interested in doing them again this year and he had 150 shirts made up 24 hours later! Steve is a great guy who is a duner himself and also cares about keeping Dumont clean. He donated his time and materials to make the shirts, his graphics guy (ALSO a rider) donated his time and work as well, and I bought the shirts to be printed on. So here is what you do to get your shirt. Simply go over to vendor row and see Steve at Sandcrazd. Just tell him you are from DDR and you are there for the cleanup and he'll give you your free DDR/ Sandcrazd cleanup shirt. Its that simple. Shirts are limited so gets yours as soon as you get there. They go to the first 150 people. While your there check out his shirts and stuff. He has some great designs and really nice dune clothing. If anything, just say hi. He is a great guy. http://www.sandcrazd.com/ http://www.dumontduneriders.com/cleanup/
