Yep. Now maybe we should make some Facebook stickers instead. 😆 We're actually taking about getting some new swag made up again. Stay tuned.

What an awesome weekend. It was so great seeing everyone and meeting so many new people at this year's buggy roundup. Thank you all for coming out and making this trip such a fun time. It has evolved into something that everyone always looks forward to every season. "Best trip of the season!" We didn't get in until late so I'll have to share more later. I believe we had 54 cars at sandcars and coffee. Please post any photos, stories, or memories you have from the weekend!

Oh stop. There was no harm meant. haha You're not an idiot. 😆 It's all in good fun. I see you updated the title. See, you got this. I think WW made a couple of those trailers around the 2005-2007 era. I seem to remember hearing the owner of WW built one for himself and then there were one or two others. Not sure of the model because it's semi-custom. I think the largest they normally make is a 40ft.

oh man! That sucks. Sorry to hear that.

Bummer man! Hope to catch you next year. Maybe we'll see you in the dunes soon.

That's the longest weekend warrior and title I have ever seen.

We have some awesome giveaway prizes this year. If anyone would like to donate/ pre-purchase raffle tickets, you can do so online by Paypal or Venmo then grab your raffle tickets from Anna whenever you arrive. Or you can wait and do it in person on Saturday morning as usual. Tickets are the same as previous years: 1 ticket per $5 donation or 5 for $20. Venmo Paypal Again, if anyone has donations you'd like to contribute towards buggy roundup I would greatly appreciate the help. Just contact me or bring them out and get them to me by Saturday morning.

Awesome. See you there! Better luck this time. That's always a worry for me getting those early dune runs in. Been there before!
-
Awesome. Looks like we have 30 RSVPs this year which means about 50. 😆 Can't wait!

You would have to just go to the ranger station. Otherwise you can contact the BLM 760-252-6000

The Beginning Of Thanksgiving Weekend
dunefreak commented on sand chick's dune report in Dumont Conditions
Thanks for the update, Jodi! -
This year I've decided to skip the buggy weighing. Most everyone who has been to a buggy roundup knows what their car weighs by now plus that takes up a bunch of time that we can use for duning. We'll still have dune trivia and the raffle though! I just wanna have more time in the dunes with everyone. I think ~2-3PM will be a good time for trivia and raffle. It'll still allow time for a sunset run and sunset hill. Let's just hope the W cooperates this year!

I always like to give our vendors a chance to chime in and let everyone know that they'll be out there and what they'll have available for duners. If you are a vendor on vendor row this week or weekend, please post up! I know one of the site sponsors, Desert Bling, is already out there. They have Thanksgiving shirts and hoodies. I believe they are available for pre-order and pickup at Dumont if you want to snatch one up. https://www.desertbling.com/dune-crew-dumont.html

We'll be doing another raffle on Saturday so if anyone has any donations, giveaways or swag they'd like to include, please get them to me when you get out there. Thanks!

Super badass car! GLWTS

Dumont isn't in Death Valley. If it was, we couldn't ride the dunes. But yeah, it's very remote. lol Just rent a motorhome. Camping at Dumont is a big part of the fun and the whole experience.

Great report and pics. Thanks for sharing!
-
Don't touch it until buggy roundup then! 😆 Looking forward to seeing everyone!

Thanks for sharing your weekend. It's weird how warm it still is right now. It might be hot for buggy roundup at this rate! lol

untilPresident's Day Weekend 2022 is Feb 18-22, 2022. There will be no Jeep races again this year since the Las Vegas Jeep Club has stopped doing the drags & hill climbs. You can expect the unofficial drags each day at 3pm on the back sand highway. Don't forget you'll need a holiday pass. To everyone going out, have fun and be safe!

Correct. I'm pretty sure Polaris was a big part of making sure that SxS helmet law went into effect shortly after all the Rhino lawsuits. Therefore I would image the law will change when these hit the market because it would be in their best interest to do so, but who knows? As of right now, the new 2.0L RZR would no longer be classified as a ROV or SxS because it does not meet the cc requirement for the law as it's is stated by CA (link below). https://ohv.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=27288 What is an ROV? An ROV is a Recreational Off-Highway Vehicle and is designed specifically for recreational use rather than construction, farm or other utility use. An ROV is also commonly referred to as a Side-by-Side, a Recreational Utility Vehicle (RUV), or a Utility Terrain Vehicle (UTV). CVC Section 500 reads: Recreational Off-Highway Vehicle means a motor vehicle meeting all of the following criteria: (a) Designed by the manufacturer for operation primarily off of the highway. (b) Has a steering wheel for steering control. (c) Has nonstraddle seating provided by the manufacturer for the operator and all passengers. (d) (1) Has a maximum speed capability of greater than 30 miles per hour. (2) A vehicle designed by the manufacturer with a maximum speed capability of 30 miles per hour or less but is modified so that it has a maximum speed capability of greater than 30 miles per hour satisfies the criteria set forth in this subdivision. (e) Has an engine displacement equal to or less than 1,000cc (61 ci).
