This last weekend was amazing out there. Anna & I did a nice relaxing date trip...just the two of us. We've been wanting to get away and do a trip like that to D for a while now. It was SO CHILL and such nice weather all weekend. We had a perfect weekend.

Kyle, I saw you out there a couple times but you were quite a ways away to be able to say hi. I took a couple pics of you playin on the face hill. :thumb: I saw that helicopter as well that wasn't too far from our camp. Friggen BALLERS! :laughing:

Those dunes were perfect. Good lines, but not too many tracks. There were a couple nasty lookin holes and witches eyes from the recent rain, but nothing too unpredictable.

We only took the quads so we'd be able to get a bunch of riding in and we sure did. We had Dumont all to ourselves. Saturday we only saw 2 quads in the dunes and some people at comp, then Sunday there were only 2 rails we came up on (Lyle in his V8Rail and another guy in a 2 seater). It was some awesome riding.

It felt good to finally have a chill, off weekend to ourselves especially after the chaos of the last few trips. We got the perfect mix of riding our a$$es off all over Dumont and still getting plenty of relaxing, sleeping in and watching movies in the hauler...just how a dune trip should be. :grin:

And yes, we had glass bottles... :grin: ...that were properly disposed of. :assblast:

Sweet pics. Hey what kind of camera and setting/ feature is used in those? I like em. The one of the truck is killer!

Thanks man. :laughoff: Yeah I will upload some of the good ones over there as well pretty soon so some high res images are available online. ;)

Well after @25 years I finally made it back out to Dumont last weekend. WOW. A lot of changes compared to the early 80's.

The RZR S did better in the sand than I thought it would. Got me thinking how much of a difference paddles would make.

The dunes haven't changed all of that much except for Comp. Don't recall it having a bowl at the base and being whooped out at all.

Trash. This was kind of depressing. Trash everywhere. I spent about an hour on Sun. morning picking stuff up around my camp and had 1/2 a big trash bag full.

Anybody know what that R-44 (helicopter) was taking pictures of?

Here are a few pics I took.

Photomatix Pro 3

I got it for free of a friend hhaha. I love it.

Nice pic Adrian!

I like the contrast! You need to photoshop some lightening in the background of that!

Glad to see you get back out there!

Thanks! I'll try and edit it again. I was glad to be back even tho it was for only one day. Left my house at 7:30 pm got there around 11 pm Saturday night. Left Dumont Sunday at 4:30.
