antman1955 Posted November 14, 2020 Posted November 14, 2020 Is California shutting this pile of sand down? I have been going there now for 34 years and this will be the first of such disasters! Any news? I want to try out this new and improved sand rail before I paint it............... Thanks!!!! Quote
dunefreak Posted November 15, 2020 Posted November 15, 2020 Why would they shut it down? There has been no talk of doing that unless social distancing isn't respected. But Dumont is huge and there is plenty of space to spread out. BLM has not mentioned anything to us about it getting closed. 2 Quote
Sandemon Posted November 29, 2020 Posted November 29, 2020 Dumont is one of the specifically named OFF HIGHWAY RECREATION AREAS it will now take an act of Congress to shut it down, not just one Judges signature like happened in Glamis. Not to say it can not happen, but it is much harder with this protection. 1 Quote
dirtflickarooster Posted December 3, 2020 Posted December 3, 2020 (edited) Am I the only one that it seemed like there was a crazy amount of carnage over thanksgiving weekend? Our camp had a few issues, but it seemed like the medical team and helicopter were constantly on the move this weekend? When I spoke to one of the guys at the ranger station on Friday he even commented that the incidents were already far more than Halloween weekend where the population was much more than double.

joblo Posted December 3, 2020 Posted December 3, 2020 My brother was out there and said the same thing about the carnage. He said the helicopter must have never shut down. As soon as it left it returned for somebody else. Quote
