dunefreak Posted October 9, 2006 Posted October 9, 2006 As we rolled into Dumont Friday afternoon, we saw this sandrail at the Ranger camp. I hope everyone was ok. The front of the frame on this car was pretty messed up. Can we say "ouch"? Quote
sanddunesaddict Posted October 9, 2006 Posted October 9, 2006 Probably hit one of those nasty bathtubs that we hit a couple of this weekend. Quote

lvnalolife Posted October 9, 2006 Posted October 9, 2006 beerrrrrrrt and his bathtubs... first time i heard that i was like WTF is he talking about then i was told it was his vertion of a witches eye... LOL baaaaaattthhhhtub... Yeah I hit the one on top of comp. Luckily I was going slow enough that it soaked it up. Did get stuck in it and had to pull the front of the rail around. Good thing it doesn't weigh a lot! Quote
type4rail Posted October 10, 2006 Posted October 10, 2006 What the h3\\ is this bathtub/witches eye you speak of? No really what is it like quicksand? Quote
dunefreak Posted October 10, 2006 Author Posted October 10, 2006 What the h3\\ is this bathtub/witches eye you speak of? No really what is it like quicksand? They are the big holes you run into in the dunes. They are sometimes like little slivers, sometimes they are round holes. Quote
EY3BA11 Posted October 10, 2006 Posted October 10, 2006 they are the surprises in the dunes that send you to the hospital if you dont know what your looking for!!! Look at the little finger thing at comp.. the one everyone goes around to hang that right to get to comp... well on the back side of it the wind blew a witches eye / bathtub into it... lots of people eatin chit there..

ocean's 4 Posted October 10, 2006 Posted October 10, 2006 There is that one by the North Pole too, on that little dune next to it. Nice sink hole, aka bathtub, aka witches eye, aka grandma's butt crack, and so on.... Quote
cruddymutt Posted October 11, 2006 Posted October 11, 2006 Joe also plowed that one on top of comp this last weekend in his corvair rail. Stopped it dead. We had to pull his front end around and his rail is HEAVY! Its made of double wall water pipe or something. While we were chillin after pullin his rail out, some guy on a Raptor 700 at his chit hard on the eye next to it. Quote
EY3BA11 Posted October 11, 2006 Posted October 11, 2006 I believe lvnalolife got stuck in that same witches eye as well curddymutt Quote
