There's an area for monuments. I think it's on the hill, but I'm not sure because I've never been there. Try searching the site.
Memorial Hill...

Why keep them to yourself?
Because my opinions are not the same as most of the general population at Dumont these days. This stuff never gets built right or maintained properly therefore it turns into broken down trash that is a liability and an eye sore.

Calling all sandcars! Come join us at Dumont Dunes for our 9th Annual Buggy Roundup. The Buggy Roundup is an annual Dumont trip when all the sandcar people are invited to come out and camp together as a group. We'll be camped together across from bathroom 10, just off the right side of the entrance road. This trip gives the buggy guys and girls of Dumont a chance to meet each other and run the dunes together for a full weekend without the crowds. So don't be a stranger. Every year we have new people join the camp and end up leaving as friends.
RSVP here 👇
There is no set schedule of events, but it will likely go something like this...
Arrive as early as you'd like. Some get there as early as Tues or Wed. Just don't go hard and break your car before the weekend.
Saturday
8:00 AM -~10 AM: Sandcars and Coffee: Pull your car into the center of camp. (Or park it there the night before) Feel free to bring out some donuts or breakfast treats to contribute if you'd like. Grab some coffee, say good morning to everyone, and check out all the buggies. This gives everyone a chance to wake up and get the day started.
10 AM North Pole Dune Run: Join the group as we'll form the biggest train of buggies you've ever seen. We'll do a full dune run (slow to medium paced cruise) through the dunes to the north pole.
Saturday Afternoon: The rest of the day will more group rides, dune trivia, a raffle and more group dune runs!
Buggy Roundup Camp & Rules
Those that wish to camp with the group for Buggy Roundup must agree to the rules set by us, Dumont Dune Riders.
1) Don't be a d*ck! We've never had an issue with anyone at buggy roundup, but we will not tolerate any BS. We are there to have a fun weekend of duning.
2) Be respectful of others in camp: this means no loud music.
3) No passing on group rides unless you can do it extremely safely while giving that person plenty of room (ie: cut an entire dune to do it. Don't catch them by surprise.)
4) It's asked every year so I feel I need to say it. If you have a side x side, you are not uninvited. Come on out. Please just understand this one time a year event is for buggies. So please don't get in the middle of the line of buggies for dune runs or photo shoots.
Want in? Here's what you need to do.
1) On the event page, click GOING...
2) Bring your buggy to Dumont and join in on the fun. Don't be a stranger. Park with the group. If you don't know anyone, just ask for PETE.

Sounds great. Are you taking the lead on this? Reason I ask is because the last time you posted something similar, everyone showed up and had no idea who to look for to follow. At least post what your ride looks like so everyone knows who is leading. Also if you are asking for sponsors, be ready for BLM to ask you to get a permit. I'm not trying to be negative, it's my first hand experience with these types of things. I hope it comes together well for everyone. The kids would probably love that.

blm will take it down--liability
You would think, but the playground i still out there at "Veteran's Hill".

There is another new piece of playground out at the north pole now- a teeter-totter. 😄
I have mixed feelings about these things being built/ installed out there, but I'll keep them to myself. It seems that the majority of Dumont loves seeing and using this stuff out there. Times sure are changing out there. lol

I've never even seen it out at Dumont. It's probably collecting dust somewhere, haha

Cell Tower status? Planning on coming down for October, November and Feb.
It works. It still seems limited and a little slow when a bunch of people are there. But it's up for Verizon, AT&T and T Mobile carriers.

It won't be dune weather quite yet. It's still way too hot out there. Unless you are very experienced and know how to read the dunes well, I wouldn't advise it. You'll only be able to hit the dunes super early in the morning. The rest of the day will be crazy hot and no shadows.

Hey Pete,
Thanks a ton for that info. I think I've decided that its a bit too short notice to try to go duning in the summer heat after reading your tips. I really appreciate that info sir.
FYI, I used to live in Vegas and still have friends in Henderson....Wish I was that close to Dumont still but it's a 9 hour trip for me from northern Cali now.
Probably a good call. It is crazy hot right now. Wait until October for a much more enjoyable and safe experience. See you in the sand!

Hey welcome to DDR. We used to go quite a bit in the summer for sunrise rides because we're close enough for a day trip (living in Vegas). You have to go super early and get out of there by 10 or 11 AM if you do go. Be extremely careful. The dunes are super sketchy in summer with lots of drop offs, razors, witch eyes, etc. Be extra prepared.
Here a few tips I put together,

Wow, looks like a beautiful day today at D. I bet the dunes aren't very crowded or tracked out. 😆

It's already started at Dumont. I support more law enforcement for this kind of crap. lol I'm all about having a good time, but these guys take it too far and have zero consideration for others.

Yes it is. Sorry for the late response I didnt get a notification.
It likely went to your spam or junk folder. Sometimes you have to save the address or mark not as spam with some emails.

A little late but maybe dudes on bikes or quads picked trash up (recyclable) and no place to carry it and stuck it on the pole thinking a can collector would grab them. That's the only other reason besides the more plausible ones already mentioned. Hey Pete..... you asked ... {;o)
No, you are giving these people way too much credit, Lee! LOL

Wallet Found
in Lost & Found or Stolen

Someone messaged us on our Instagram and found a wallet. It was turned in at the ranger's station on Thursday of Halloween weekend.
