dunefreak Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 We just got back this afternoon. It was a killer weekend out there. PERFECT weather, SMOOTH dunes and great lines. ISBB & I met up w/ Chris1223 and Chadwick99 at the gas station Sat AM. We rolled into D about 10am and pulled up w/ Vegas Style. It started out as a day trip for us, but we decided to take the hauler and make a weekend out of it instead. I'm really glad we did too. It was a very cheap, simple, chill weekend out there. We got many rides in on Saturday. It was Chadwick's first time out to Dumont and he loved it. Pretty cool to see someone experience Dumont for the first time. Makes me remember my first trip. Good times Chad and nice meeting you. We'll help you out again next trip on learning those razors and transitions. Saturday's rides were great. The sand was perfect. On our last ride that day ISBB's waterpump seal started leakin when we got out to the north pole. He let it cool down and then filled it back up w/ some water and limped it back along the back stretch. On the way back we noticed a buggy broken down. The guy seemed like he was just waitin for help so we kept on. Then....about a mile later we saw some dude walking with a walkie takie, I stopped and asked him if he needed a ride. He was like "hell yeah dude thanks!" Get this....ends up we knew each other! I met him (Gary) exactly a year ago this weekend. He was the guy who had this interesting lil China buggy thing out at the north pole LAST SUPERBOWL weekend! Small world...crazy huh? So we cruised back to our camp and we grabbed my other Raptor to go to his camp for supplies. (Little Dumont) His alternator was the issue on the buggy so we grabbed a new battery, jump box etc and put it in his buddy's busa Rhino. We cruised back to big Dumont to our camp and they proceeded from there and had it handled. Nice group of peeps and we plan on meeting up Prez weekend for some buggy runs. He has a bitchen dual sport car. Sat night was very nice and chill. We had a great fire going that was super relaxing. I even got some time on the 70 and made a fun lil circle track around the fire. We met Brian (sandfreak33) and his buddies from Barstow and hung out for a bit. We also saw and chatted with Sandpirates early in the day but couldn't find where the heck he was camped later that night when we cruised over. Sunday (today) we slept in which was much needed for me as I've been doin a ton of chit latley. We missed out on the AM ride with Brian and group, but we'll hook up next time guys. Great meeting you. :black: ISBB, Vegas Style and I got a nice long ride in late morning. Then towards the end of the ride my other Raptor (that Nick was riding) busted a chain. Luckily we weren't too far from camp. I was able to pull him back. So at this point since we were out of running bikes we finished up the beer oin the cooler then split this afternoon around 1- 1:30. It was 73 degrees leaving today...absolutley gorgeous. Yesterday was almost a tad warm...over 80 degrees! Killer trip! Glad we did this one. Nice meeting all the new faces this weekend and great hanging out with the homies. :B I took some pics. Will post some up later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aceisback Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Looks like lots of construction going on for someplace that is going to be shut down soon. North Pole, Ranger Station, tax dollars hard at work for Boxer, Feinstien, and Osama to hand it over to the Greenies. What's up with that North Pole anyway? Cool lookin' but I say azzhats will have it down by Pres Weekend. Sorry I miss out on this what had become an annual pilgrimage for the past four years. Remodeling and the guy that's helping me had his mother passed away last week. Concrete grinding sucks. Never seen so much dust of such fine particles. Glad you guys enjoyed the trip. I'll be there next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be there next year. Yeah sucks you couldn't make it out to this one, Vic. We would have liked to have ya there. Oh well, there's always next time. North pole: no idea what that was about but those dudes were dedicated! :black: We were cruising out there around sun-down on Saturday and I spotted that thing about 5 dunes back! I thought it was someone's big azz flag or whip or something. It's over 20 feet tall and looks like it was a telephone pole at one time. I agree, some jerks will probably pull it down in no time but I hope not. Ranger station: the BLM recently received a grant for maintenance that was used to fund that project. And yes, it is nice to see things like this after hearing all that stuff about possible closures etc. The BLM doesn't want the place shut down and you know they wouldn't be dumping money into something they know is gonna go bye bye. We all know that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep that was him. I knew you'd remember that. Vendors that were there: Sandcrazd, Loose Screws Offroad Supply, California Casuals, Dune Mart, and a couple other t-shirt places and a food place. Thats about it. As for the car, I think you are thinking of the beige Wicked Sand Car that has a very similar body on it. that effing chain was brand new 1 ride on it and so was the sproket i think You sure about that? If that's the case, then I wonder why the heck this thing goes through so many chains. It almost busted the case again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
