Rich, I just want you to know why BLM was advised, first if any filming by a fimmaker,commercial co. etc. is going to be conducted at Dumont they have a fee to pay just like we do but larger, way larger. They have restrictions just like we do on things thy can and can't do.Secondly, the road is not in the best of shape and the layer of asphalt that was put down is very thin in some places so a car throwing itself sideways and throwing debris all over is not helping on top of this wasn't something they were supposed to be doing. We(you & me) paid for that asphalt covering not them. I want BLM to supervise these companies during there permit times to make sure that they are leaving the dunes better than when they arrived just as we all should. So to put it bluntly you did the right thing and it is appreciated. We need to keep our eyes open to what is going on when we are not there. Thank you for your post! Terry

Here is the reply I got from BLM on the commercial; Mercedes was issued a filming permit for the OPEN Area, which does NOT include the access road. Thanks for letting us know, we will deal with it. Lynnette

Seems a little odd to me, picking a busy weekend hints as though they like a lot of trafffic to hide what their doing so it probably does not have a permit. Craigslist is an odd way of looking for a driver to risk your employees life with and not my idea of a place to hire someone on the up and up. Why all the interest in "CC'S"? Do they plan on running away from the LEO"s ATV's? Mike used to use low budget 1600's in his cars for movies etc. I have forwarded this and the Mercedes commercial to Lynette @ BLM for some answers. I will let you know what I find out. Terry

I will have to check with my social secretary and get back to you on this. I am a very busy and have to allocate my time for naps etc. Please hold your breath while I check; Ok release your breath and my secretary has cleared my calander for those dates. I am pleased to announce that I will be there unless a nap interferes, medication requires that I not stand up or if I am deceased I will not be there in person but my spirt will be. So to make a long story longer Yeap I'm IN!!! BTW I did notify BLM that the bridge was messed up and was told a contracter was grading the road and will fix the damage around the bridge next week. Let's keep our finger's crossed.

It's a looong way down!

Tell them you know me and it will only cost you a $100.00

Johhny Walkers near flamingo on boulder. Ask for Ken or ED.

Likely story I might but may just hang at home and watch survivor. After driving all the way out to pick up the M/H at Freightliner only to discover they had had a rock chip in my window that wasn't there before. Long trip for nothing, told them to fix it and call me when it's done, DAMM Mechanics

Normal time and place?

We wern't that close were we ISBB? :beer_bang: :beer_bang:

Have them contact Lynette at the Barstow BLM field office ASAP @ 760 252-600

It played last night at 8:30 and will repeat this weekend on Sat. @1:30 PM and 7:00PM. Sunday at 1:30 and 9:00 m on cox channel 19

This is some nice video of the clean up and is not the same as when they showed it last spring. I believe Barefoot Bob's rail gets in the pic along with some other folks. If you have not seen the show and live in or near Las Vegas it is on Cox channel 19 at 8:30 Wed. and on Sat. and Sun. see their web page for times. I am posting the clip; http://www.atyourleisurenevada.com/episode...&category=2 Terry

Yeah I try to give rides to people that ask as long as I feel comfy with them. Mine is a 2 seater so I can't take as many as Bob can but I would be glad to give you a ride if your out there. Completely different ride in a 2 seat car vs. a 4 seater.

Sine 1975 I have spent most of my Thanksgivings there, so that makes me a really

Yeah Pete's "bar bill" at the SSSS was probably as much as Kenny's bar bill was to get off the cruise ship!

i think he started at like 49 or is at 47 but you know Mike and he just bought a motorhome so he might make you a very sweet deal. that truck has navagation and a hell of a lot more than the 450 will ever have.

Ash, you know I am all about being within the towing guidelines as far as weight but in this sport either your pretty much overweight or over length if you have a big rig. That being said, I did some research about insurance and the rumor that they can decline a claim if you are overweight. I was told by a senior manager of an Insurance company that each company is different and that they can refuse the claim or pay it and then they are going to dump you like over dated milk. However he told me that if you go to a scale and are overweight then you should tell your insurance agent and let him submit that info to underwriting. they will rate you and hit you with a surcharge but that it shouldn't be much, maybe a cpl hundred. Noqw the pitfall to that is that if you are over weight, tell your agent and decide not to pay for the extra hit i will bet they deny the claim should it occur. Either way it's a gamble but I believe i will be weighing my rig with all my stuff in it and go for the rating. Since my little brother is my agent and his company screws me around I can still kick his azz! You know Mike's truck is for sale right?

Good question and it will be clarified at the sand show this weekend. I want to know if someone builds up a credit are they going to see a refund for the difference, don't have that answer yet either but we will. Terry

MAKE SURE YOU KEEP YOUR RECEIPT FOR THE WEEKLY PASSES, not just the pass but the credit card slip. They will not refund towards the yearly pass unless you have the pass and a receipt!

My brother is in to coin collecting. He is airly knowledgable abouuut it and has friends that have a lot of knowledge on it.

Hey it's ok I know where I stand! But I could have gotten us handicap parking!! Naw no problem, It allowed the wife to DRAG me to RC Wiley to buy furniture for a business I don't even own yet and she woke up this morning and decided it wasn't the "right" furniture after all! Sometimes I just wish they would listen

Well i didn't make it cause i sat by the phone all night waiting from a call from the "El Presidente" to go but as usual I got disrespected by him and was left out in the cold. That's what I get on depending on those young wippersnappers!
