Any trip reports or pics? Thread has been dead for a couple of days, hopefully a few folks showed up and had a safe and fun time. Let's hear how it went.

Well my take:

It was a good time, but the wind was relentless and the sand was SOFT... especially for those of us that got stuck at the sand trap west of Banshee.

You should have kept the can of paint, I'm sure there is somebody in the law enforcement community that loves going to Dumont as much as the rest of us. Maybe they could pull some strings and have it finger printed. I would think a dirt bag that has done something like that before sould be in the system. Just my 2 cents. Glad to hear everyone had a good time.

Sucks about those dirtbags who trash our playground. Is that how they prefer it to look next time they go back there? I just don't understand ghetto a$$ people.

I don't know about any more bitching about trash, but can't wait to see all your shots, Neal! :beercheers:

I took pictures of the trash the next morning but don't want to give our enemies ammo. I did take pics of Rob and Katie (posted above) who are real heroes. This was their first time at Dumont and I asked them if they had any trash bags. They rode back to camp and returned with all they had. They spent the next 45 minutes with me cleaning up. I took some shots of their buggy for them for being responsible duners.

There were some really friendly people out there and let me get in their faces, so to speak, to take some really good pictures. It’s a shame that amongst them is a trash dumping human cancer.

I tried some different photo techniques and am hoping they turned out good. My quick look last night showed some really good shots. Some might be a little soft if you’re a pixel peeper, but they look good. No moon and those crazy stadium lights present some challenges for night shots.

I’ll work on them after work and hopefully have them uploaded within a couple of days.

i was out there on my blacked out TRX450R... had a freakin blast... we parked at the far side at the very end of banshee. everyone near us kept it clean... at least i know we took every scrap we brought out with us. at first we were parked by toilet #7. when we were there the inside of it looked like someone walked in the door, turned around, bent over , :beercheers: and then tried to "cr#p for distance".UGGG!!!! ... i didn't see any "art"....so we moved over to where the action was...

we did get stuck trying to leave the hill... some guy in a white crew cab F150 stopped to help us, went to get a strap, he came back and he got stuck. we got the trucks out after a little use of some loading ramps to get traction. i didn't get a chance to say thank you to the guy in the white F150.... i hope he may be on here. dude, i owe you a beer!!! thanks for the help. also thanks to the guys in a rhino that stopped to help as well.

this was the second time i have gone to the nite drags... i have a great time every trip... i can't wait till the next one.

Here are some of the photos from the drags. Some of the night shots are very high ISO, could use some remote strobes. I still think they came out fairly well considering the conditions.

Enjoy

All of them can be seen at this link: Night Drags
