TRX440EX-TREMERIDER Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 (edited) I am on another forum called dunereview. I asked a question a while back and got no replys, so today I reposted and someone gave me this website to help me get my answer. I am just curious about the North Pole? I went to Dumont on July 1st and seen it there. Who put it there, why, and who picks up the letters. A friend of mine told me it was there because that is where the true north Pole is LOL Ever since he told me that and I went there and seen it I have just been curious? Anyone have any information about it? Here are some pictures and the post I mad on that other forum http://www.dunereview.com/forums/index.php...c=3605&st=0 Also after reading through it I remember I wasn't sure where Comp Hill is? Was I told right is that where it is? I appreciate all the info I can get LOL :) THANKS :)Cristin Edited October 12, 2006 by TRX440EX-TREMERIDER Quote
EY3BA11 Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 I cant tell you if it is the true north pole or not... but a off road group put it there quite a few years back and it has gone thru MANY of mail box's.. The letters get recycled or blown out or whatever. Quote
ocean's 4 Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 Santa stops by once a week to pick up the letters. Quote

dunefreak Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 I'm not sure who picks up the letters (maybe it IS Santa Clause ), but the north pole was put out there because it is kinda the north tip of the dunes. It is at the end of the dunes and makes for a nice destinatation for a dune ride. Many mailboxes on the pole, like ISBB said, have been replaced due to vandalism, but many peeps (including us) go out and keep it up. Quote

Many mailboxes on the pole, like ISBB said, have been replaced due to vandalism, but many peeps (including us) go out and keep it up. it is pretty cool to see a family dune out there in a sandrail, the little kid gets out with a letter, puts in in the box, and climbs back in and they take off. I would have to say that the north pole @ dumont is more east/northeast in it's relationship with the dunes imo Quote
dunefreak Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 I would have to say that the north pole @ dumont is more east/northeast in it's relationship with the dunes imo yeah, northeast-ish...but still somewhat north end. We had this discussion when we set up the and created the South Pole. "no, north is that way...no it's THAT way " Quote
ocean's 4 Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 I think TRX440EX-TREMERIDER doesn't believe in Santa Claus. Quote
SandBox_Kid Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 I think TRX440EX-TREMERIDER doesn't believe in Santa Claus. My ears are burning!! Take it back. I know someone who's not getting presents this year. Quote
Gazlay43 Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 Actually that North Pole isn't even north. It is actually west. Years back some people moved it to true North but it eventually moved back to its current location. =) Quote
Resident^Blonde Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 SWEET! i always wanted to go to the north pole.... Now i can check off one more thing on my to do list. Looks like Im going on a north pole hunt when I go to dumont for halloween.... wait a minnute... that just dosnt sound right does it hehe Quote
EY3BA11 Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 dont forget about the south pole.. you gotta find it too Quote
Resident^Blonde Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 dont forget about the south pole.. you gotta find it too I guess that would make more sence hunh? Quote
EY3BA11 Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 make more sense.. there is literally a north pole and south pole in dumont.. go find both of them.. Quote
TRX440EX-TREMERIDER Posted October 13, 2006 Author Posted October 13, 2006 (edited) Thanks for all the information guys. So where is this South Pole? How long has it been there? I didn't come across it. And no one answered my question about comp hill has it been moved? If you look at the link I put at the top you can see where I have been told it is. Thanks again guys :)Cristin Edited October 13, 2006 by TRX440EX-TREMERIDER Quote
Resident^Blonde Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 Comp hill can move? ... ne who. I would like to know how to get to the south pole as well... Well the one at dumont at lest Quote
dunefreak Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 Comp hill hasn't ever moved since I have been there. Everyone started racing up the right side of it instead of up the left side like back in the Day. there is now a hill labeled Banshee Hill. The south pole is behind comp somewhere...ya know...kinda south. j/k You'll have to go search for it and find out for yourself. It's DDR sacred ground. Here's where comp and Banshee Hill are.... picture courtesy of www.duneguide.com Quote
ocean's 4 Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 Norht Pole has been known to up and move on it's own, only to return safely to it's home before anyone sees it move. Quote

TRX440EX-TREMERIDER Posted October 13, 2006 Author Posted October 13, 2006 Thanks Dunefreak the guy that referred me to this site said you would be most helpful. Thanks again I didn't mean move like that. That's what I was told, that people used to race up the left side now it is the right. Old comp is pretty steep goes from flat ground to almost straight up. LOL I had so much fun when I was there. I was pretty suprised there was only one other vehicle there on such a big holiday. Guess you guys are a little bit smarter then us Colorado folks. Some guy gave me sh*t for wearing long sleeve black gear LOL. Hey all my gear is black what am I supposed to do ride naked. I wish It was 123 degrees out there by noon we packed up early. Thanks again Dunefreak I now know when I need information on Dumont either to go straight to you or look elsewhere. And ISBB you were the first one to respond. Thanks guys Quote

What holiday weekend did you go there? Dumont's popular months are October thru April-ish. There usually aren't any people out there in the summer time. BTW, who was it that referred you to the site? Just curious. If you ever have any more questions, feel free to shoot me an e-mail or post it up. No problemo Quote
Fast Machine Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 (edited) The letters from the little kids are the cutest. The one I thought was funniest was a small boy asking Santa to bring his sister a nice hamster this year because the one he brought last year was mean (I know this because Santa showed me the letter) I wanted to buy a hamster and find the kid! Did you hear about the dyslexic devil worshipper? He sold his soul to Santa Edited October 13, 2006 by wetnwreckless Quote
