BIG DAVE XP1K Posted February 6, 2010 Posted February 6, 2010 (edited) 1 The antisipation of the next Dune Trip. 2 The gathering of good friends and the chance to make new ones. :peeps: 3 That first ride across virgin sand. :hatdance: 4 The sight of the youngsters riding in the sand and watching them jones for more. 5 The time around the camp fire sucking down the dos xx and tellin lies. 6 Competition hill at night with all the fires and loons racin up the hill in the dark. 7 The time away from the reality of bills and work. ( the real world) :foshizz: 8 Grillin in the desert & dutch oven cobler. 9 Screaming across the dunes on a long ride with all my boys in our RZR's 10 Thanksgiving in the sand with 10 -12 different family's version of turkey dinner.. Lets face it, I could go on and on about what is awsome about or obsession with the sand and Im sure everyone has their own version or ten reasons they love the sand. But no matter what your ten reasons are, this is our passion its what we live for. What could be better than a weekend in the SAND... A bad windy day in the sand is far better than a good day at work anyday. You have to learn to take the bad with the good. Your glass is either half full or half empty its your choice....

sandawg Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 I like your list. It is nice to look at the positive instead of the negative crap out there. W My feeling is if you don't like it don't go. Too bad some misinterpreted the spirit of my thread. It was to keep in the forefront, some of the issues that should be dealt with for safety and continued use of the Dunes by those of us that live for and love it. If these issues are not dealt with at some point.......Oh Well! Negativity was the furthest thing in my mind from from someone that goes there 8-10 times a year!! Check out the numbers of people that used go on the holiday weekends and now go on off weekends to avoid the disrespectful, discourteous, thoughtless and unskilled duners. Think of my thread as you wish but I know what I meant. Quote
