Feb 26-28th weekend trip report

[sand chick]

Great relaxing weekend.

The "super bloom" flowers were spectacular. I always love the spring blooms out at the dunes, but with this years super bloom they were even more incredible.

Went on only one ride, but it was a nice long one with Joe Duner in the lead, and I took the Ace over and up places I never thought I would get it. I must be getting more comfortable behind the wheel.

Slept in until 10:00 this morning, must have needed that rest, haven't been feeling 100% lately and the down time was much needed.

It was a super chill weekend at Dumont with some good, fast runs through the dunes and a little side adventure to the mines at the little dunes. The flowers were in full bloom and the weather was nice & warm. We even got to show a couple friends the dunes for their first time. This was going to be my last trip of the season but I don't think I'm done yet! So much fun.

Here's my pics.

Friday night were got set up and waited for painterjoe to arrive.

The moon came up but quickly got covered by the clouds.

Gearing up for a dune run

Cruising

We stopped at the North Pole to take a break. The colors off in the desert were great!

We hit up the jump by comp so Michael and Garret could get their fix.

oops. My buddy, Matt's friend, rolled his RZR. Luckily he and his his dog were ok though.

I took my friend, Janyne, for her very first buggy ride. She had never been to Dumont. She was blown away!

We all chilled for a bit on the south end.

We headed over to Little Dumont and explored the mines. @@painterjoe arriving

The mines

After the mines we played around the Little Dunes for a while as the sun went down. I spotted this puddle over there and the reflection caught my eye for a photo opp.

It was a bad idea to try to get real close. lol I sunk in that nasty clay!

Good thing I have an outside shower. First time I've used it...ever!

Time for some campfire and a drink after a fun day

A little more moon Sat night

Sunday morning we went for an awesome dune ride, then explored the blooming desert.

I snapped a few pics of Michael, painterjoe's son, hitting the whoops near South Pole.

Then we headed through the dunes for one last dune run and checked out the north end that was blooming.

Awesome trip reports as always... Thanks for sharing

[painterjoe]

Was one of the best dune trips in a long time. Great weather, great scenery, and some awesome dune runs led by Pete. Too bad it was a short weekend, could have used a few more days out there.
