Today: Partly cloudy skies. High 56F. Winds NNW at 10 to 20 mph. Do you think thats a Lie?..LOL BTW.. did it rain?

Are you cousins still there? Did it rain while you were there was the wind as gnarley in Dumont as it was Barstow? Sorry for all the questions.. Im going up there this morning for a couple of days Glamis looks like it has a little bit less wind.. but I would rather go to Dumont.. any info would be great thanks Mark

I got my car down and a few days off.. Going out to shake the car down and play for a couple days. anyone still there? also.. if it rained.. Do you think the sand will be to wet? I could go to Glamis.. but Im comfortable with Dumont and its size if something happend and the place was empty..LOL thanks

I got the car done last night around 6... I wanted to come out and hang w you guys but work got busy.. So now Im stuck at home in the rain.. Glad you guys had fun

Im really looking forward to this weekend..

My plan is to come out on sunday.. If all the stars align and everything goes as planned.. I may bring the rig out on sat and do both days.. Hope to see you guys out there

For sure.. Im going to start riding my bike (getting a paddle) so that way my wife can put the car around more and get involved. Aslo.. I have a 40' 5er.. when going to pismo.. do you have to camp in the sand? or are there flat spots.. Ive heard you can take the trailers on the sand if you air down.. but it kinda sounds like the making of a horror flick..LOL Just curious.. Im going to make an effort to play this summer and the beach, short drive and cooler conditions make Pismo pretty appealing (sp?)

In a prev post someone mentioned that they had shutdown most of the dunes.. have you been since this happend?

Thats not to bad.. We have family in Sac so we go there often.. This might be a good excuse to drop the kids off at Grandmas house (Sac) and head up to dunefest! woo hoo.... so you dont do any prep WD40 or anything like that to the car and its all good?

Is Coos bay better then winchester bay? where do you live and how long does it take you? do you have any issues with the salt?

Great site.. lots of pics and description.. Coral Pink looks cool.. and St Anthony's is huge.. but about 1k miles from me.. hhhmmmm.. I got to figure out how far coral pink is.. and set up a trip this summer or just bite the bullet and do Dunefest

we'll hook that up for sure! My boating crew will love to break up the summer with a little sand. Def keep me in mind when you want to go.. Ive only been to Dumont twice..Pismo Once and Glamis Once.. Been doing the dirt .. just getting into the sand..both of the last were a long time ago in a different life if you know what I mean

is it big enough to bring a car to? I went there a long time ago with my first car.. (Back when I drove till I got stuck.. and slept in the back of my truck right there till the weekend was over.. then got pulled out and went home..LOL)

Your talking about pismo? I would love to go there too.. its pretty close to us.. but Ive heard a lot of people wont go because of the salt... is there any prep work that is not to overwhelming that you do?

Nice! I would love to try to go with someone who has been before... Its a long drive.. it would be cool to try to caravan with a group..

Hi all, Ive done some searches and found some info.. and done lots of reading about coral pink, little sahara and winchester bay (dunfest) I was wondering how many of you do the summer/offseason trips.. How hot is it? how far? does everyone here make some type organized trips? Just planning ahead.. Im a little nervous about pismo or beach dunes as Ive heard horror stories about salt and rust.. Ive also heard.. "just drench your car in wd40 and its all good" Also.. Have many of you made the trip up to Dunefest? I got the new Sand Sports mag and seems like a very organized event.. seems like the weather would be nice.. In the pics.. everyone seems to be wearing a jacket.. (its in the sumer) just looking for real world experiences and trying to plan ahead as my season is shrinking, money is tight right now.. and I just got a new car that im fixing and dying to use.. thanks

very cool

I should have updated this a while ago.. I like the savage car.. I drove my buddies and it also fit in my 5er.. I called them a couple times with out a return call.. so I moved on and found a smokin deal on a sand limo.

Check this out

Whats TRT? is there a secret handshake? Do you have it on GPS? LOL seriously though.. what is it

Cool.. I can hardly wait.. I think Im going to bring both cars.. should be fun to tool around in them.. then I'll throw a 4sale sign on the one. Oh.. and a pelet gun for the low flyers through my camp site..LMAO..J/k

Thanks.. I figured it would have to be some type of organized event.. the place is to small to have what Ive seen on vids of glamis going on at Dumont.. Im trying to get out to D over Pres weekend.. It would be my wife/kids first time in the sand.. Im hoping there is lots to look at for them as I want to convert them from the dirt.. or at least 60/40 sand to dirt.. I dont want to run this car in the dirt, maybe just to cruise around..but its to pretty the couple of times Ive been to dumont.. there didnt seem to be anything going on at night other then fires and occasional firworks.. Do they run the hill at night? or anything else? thanks sorry for the dumb questions.. Mark

Ive seen vids but the couple times Ive been there.. Ive never seen anyone drag racing or a spot that looked safe.. From the vids.. it looks like its in between comp and banchee hill.. but it seems there would be lots of traffic there and it would need to be groomed.. Where is it? thanks

Yea.. but he's not breaking loose with them until we get at least 100 posts.. I been hounding him.. LMAO
