Adam @ GTP Off Road Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 yeah your real safe Terry, as long as i am riding on my quad I'm not trying to scare anyone off, just preparing if it was too be a true "balls out" run. I kept up with you in your car on my quad before, so I know you can go slow for rookies like me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushjunkie Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 following those two-seaters on a quad is an awesome experience. Can't wait to do it again, only next time I'll have a go-pro... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlesUFarley Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Ok, now you're just teasing me. You guys better get your a$$es out there this weekend for our group ride. You said it, and now it's a binding contract. I think TheGreenMachine and I will be camping somewhere near bathroom 9. Not sure yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry How many trailers in your group? As of right now we will be two 5th wheels and a pull behind... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Probably be 3-4 different rigs from M/H's to truck camper and trailer. None of us have kids but we don't care if you have them. We are not big partyier's as we are usually face down in the pillow by 10-11. Very relaxed camp with good people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam @ GTP Off Road Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I will camp with Terry and his group to if that's ok... I'm thinking it's time to take up the offer for Terry's enclsosed trailer as a bedroom. his car and I need to have a long talk after my last ride in it anyway, cause apparently it doesn't like me... lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FormerlyTheGreenMachine Posted November 24, 2012 Author Share Posted November 24, 2012 I like to camp by #9, been in that spot for a very long time. Little quieter and less dust but it does have some rocks out there. However I rode the same set of comp cut tires on my banshee for 8 years and never had a flat or bent a rim, now my grandson(s) that's a different story but until they came back to camp with a bent rim they just didn't understand that the objective is to drive slow on the flats and miss the big rocks. Since i have owned the sand car i have never had an issue either. Anyway I am pretty easy to find if you look at where #9 is and a bit to the northwest you will see my white Alfa class A motorhome and a white 30' trailer. I have an org/blk rzr's and my car looks like this; come by and we will go for a few rides. Terry Appreciate the invite but I will have hell to pay if I camp in a spot with rocks....I have 3 yr old twins and they need sand to play in. We will def come by and meet up for a ride! A buddy of mine said that we should camp more towards the edge of the dunes to get less rocks. I think he was saying section A-1... Thoughts?

sanddunesaddict Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 (edited) A-1 is way too much traffic....High B-11 or AB-14 would be an awesome spot or anywhere along those dunes by B-11... just remember the closer you get to a actual dune the softer its going to be Edited November 24, 2012 by sanddunesaddict 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a long drive through the ridges and valleys to get over there. Fair chance of getting stuck . I would say near the end(s) of the fingers. However there is sand where we camp but just not piles of it like nearer the dunes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have low skirts on it so that were dug right in too. Ended up digging out until 6am....it was a long miserable day. That was just off to the left of 6 all the way up near the dune. Pretty sure we'll hang around our normal spot near 6 for now on haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavtfan Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 i've seen people off to the left lower corner of B5 near the tip of that long finger and fairly close to it....plenty of sand there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam @ GTP Off Road Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 i would just go by a finger and call that good for sand for the kids. going over in the 13, 14 area is pretty scetchy for soft sand. even if you don't mind, why risk it. The fingers are the best sand, but depends on traffic to. I love to ride along the finger and stay off the flats. Looks like i am going to just call it a full weekend and go Thursday - sunday. I doubt my shocks will be in no matter what by then so no point in waiting for them. The wife seems to like me out of the house, and was asking my why i wouldn't just go all weekend. When i said for work, she still said just go. Not sure if that is good, or bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point, the last thing I want to do is dig out...I wonder how crowded it will be if at all Thurs morning. May just drive around and see what looks decent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have half bald pure street tires on my truck. Airing down might only make me stuck with flat tires. I might be getting used all terrains before we go, but not 100% sure.

dunefreak Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Sorry but I won't be able to make it out this weekend, guys. I'm postponing until the following weekend. (Dec 8-9) I have too much to do in order to get ready. I wish I could have gone out to meet you and shown you guys around Dumont. Hopefully we can meet up another time this season.

flavtfan Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Looks like Dumont is getting some much needed wind after seeing all the rutted up pictures. Might be a bit breezy Sat and Sun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam @ GTP Off Road Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 It's crazy how the forcast changes out there... and how they aren't very accurate. Wind sucks in camp, but i do like smooth dunes. anyone going this weekend will want a little wind anyway with the conditions the T-day riders left it in.
