My trailer says 13,000+ dry, and I've been pulled over and warned. I have a hard time believing a 25' tow behind weighs that much, but I know this season I need to "face the dragon" and get the R endorsement... :bert:

:?:

There's a whole lot of this going on....and not enough of this. Get yo chit together....and get to the dunes people!!!

Sweet Site!

I had too...

That's the stuff I was looking for not too long ago.

We will be there. First vacation in a looooong time....and it's my 40th! :black:

Our crew at Amargossa...the early days.

A rainy day at the dunes is better than any day stuck at home.

First trip with the new sandrail.

Ahhhhh....home away from home.

my friend has had his iphone replaced 2x because the battery craps out....notice there is no way of removing and replacing the battery???

That's no different than the Ipod either.

Thanks Craig...nice to know. Now if they'd get better service in Dumont.

Congrats Bert....we're happy for you and the family!!

Happy B-day Pete!!! Hope it's a good one!

Thanks again Chad! :beer_bang:

This thing is badass. Now I can join wingnut & Pauly Paul. The 70 crew!

Congrats.

What constitutes the 70 crew? I know there are more members than Paul and Craig on this site with 70's.

True, but I don't use that much regular gas. The bikes and rail sip it and the hauler generator doesn't use that much either. I'd say maybe 10-15 gallons total is what I use in a whole weekend. OK, so add another 10-15 bucks or so to that $35. :beer_bang:

I meant that gas is killing those of us that don't use diesel. It is costing me close to $100 to fill my truck now. I know diesels are costing more.....but it used to only cost around $65 to fill up. Then 40 gals in the toyhauler....and another 40 for the truck (round trip). It adds up.

I have a no soliciting sign clearly on my door. If they knock anyways I give them the 3rd degree. :rant_on:

I have read on many other sites about how the price of diesel & slow real estate market has really hit some duners hard. Sand toys that were once funded by home equity are now being sold by alot of people. Diesel prices are probably going to keep alot of people from being able to do as many trips. Etc etc. It's crazy how much stuff is for sale right now.

I can say that the price of diesel will make my trips more expensive, but if you look at it this way...the total extra cost of my dune trip will be about $35 more is all.

Luckily all my toys (bikes & rail) are paid for and I am fortunate enough to be in a field where it hasn't seen any major decline.

I'm just curious how much it has or will affect most on here for next season. I bet there will alot less people out there. What do ya think?

I don't think I'll be making any less trips. I usually do at least one per month/ maybe two and fortunately it looks like that should stay the same for me next season.

It's not just diesel....it gas all together. It has been going up just like diesel has.

Well unfortunately for me, not sure ill be making it to the dunes at all next season. With the mortgage disaster I lost 2 jobs in a year. After 8 months finally found a county job, but im making 1/2 what I used to. I also have to work weekends now.

It really really sucks, cause being at the dunes is what I most look forward to. But with the economy being what it is, Im definately glad to have a job.

I do own my quad outright, but making pymts on the hauler. Hopefully ill be able to keep it with my financial situation. Day by day right now :freakin_nuts:

The hauler is the only thing I wish I was financing. It's a good tax right off for us. The toys are paid for....the truck and trailer aren't.

We are squeaking through the tough times ourselves. Thank God for promotions, and my merit increases have also outpaced the cost of living....so it's keeping our heads above water. The county isn't so bad once you work your way up.

I think we will make the same amount of trips next year...maybe more if we're lucky.

Doesn't come around much lately......

Congrat Ed and family!! Before you know it...you'll be shopping for bikes!!!!

Dayuuum Dave.

Hope your feeling better. My dad had an old BSA that kicked back bad.......

Warrior has been missing an image from his signature for some time now..... :argue:

The criminals are going to visit the nice areas because there are quality vehicles, people with nice stuff inside their houses, and much more to steal. Criminals don't go to the ghetto to steal something nice! Almost no matter where you purchase a home there will be crime, and probably section 8 too.

Don't forget this website for sex offenders in your area.

:beer_bang:

I have to disagree. I live in the ghetto and there was a crapload of crime in my area.....lots of stolen vehicles. Sometimes I don't think thieves are smart enough to shop around.

Warrior has graduated from jackazz in training.....

Coke........

I can't feel my teeth.

Music or TV

:beer_bang:

Music....then I can do other things while I listen.

Fishing or water skiing?

Cream and Sugar and chocolate

Is this, This or That or just another stupid game

Both. It's just another stupid game called This or That. :beer_bang:

Whiskey or rum?

Ah-na's confusing the games again......this is not this or that....

depends on the social situation

mary ann, or Ginger

Mary Ann cause "still waters run deep"

Mountains or river?

Cool website! No incidences for 60 days within a mile of our house! Yahoo! :mischevious:

Lucky. My area is full of crime. :beer_bang: 4 stolen vehicles and 2 recovered within 1/4 mile in the last 60 days. :rant_on:
