Don29palms Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Has the new fee structure been set in stone yet or are there still some issues to be worked out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunefreak Posted July 11, 2007 Author Share Posted July 11, 2007 Has the new fee structure been set in stone yet or are there still some issues to be worked out? From what I understand- yes. It is set in stone and will go into effect as of Oct 1st, 2007. They (BLM) are still working out the details as to where the passes will be sold, but I think that's the only thing.

OGP Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Looks like im going to buy a season pass including holidays etc.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanduners Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 (edited) Has the new fee structure been set in stone yet or are there still some issues to be worked out? It is not set in stone yet. The BLM still needs to discuss the fees with the RRAC (Recreation Resource Advisory Council) when it is established and publish the information in the Federal Register. Next TRT meeting is August 21st where I'm sure this will be a main topic. The information above was given out at the last DAC meeting in the Barstow field managers report.

redswr Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 I might be wrong, But I thought Dumont did have a daypass/ weekend use fee. Pismo has a $5 a day pass / $10 a night but they also have a guard at the gate from 6-10 (day use times) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandBox_Kid Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 $20.00 to ride at Dumont doesnt seem unreasonable to me. Not unreasonable at all when you consider the price to ride the rides at Disneyland or any other amusement park, and they aren't even half the fun that Dumont provides! Talk about an "E" ticket attraction!!!! Personally I think $20 is chump change when you consider the cost of participating in our sport/hobby.

Richard Cheese Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 30 dollars for 7 days (40 if it includes a holiday weekend......personally i think it should be 50 or 60 on the big weekends, cuz that's when all the effen flatbillers show up and effe everything up for the rest of the duning community...effen DEE DEE DEE's) isn't that bad at all compare it to skiing/snowboarding, where a 1 day pass at Mammoth runs 70-80 bucks, and a freekin season pass runs 1600 bones....GAWD If 10 bucks is gonna break you, or cause you not to make a trip, then a financial review is in order for you. season passes @ 90- 120 bucks is still a good deal too.....thats like 2-3 trips to pissmo beeeeeatch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't just a 2 hour drive for us so we want to make the trip out there worth it. Not all of us are flatbillers and I think $40 a weekend is O.K. but lets not crazy.

(I will be buying a season pass) i am from Bakersfield, so you still have a shorter drive than me. i know you arent a flatbiller......i don't think any flatbillers (at least ones that would admit it ) are on this site the way I see it is that a majority of the money spent by the state @ dumont happens on the big weekends. due to need for enforcement. thanks to all the idiots that go out on the big weekends, and do things they wouldn't normally do, like run their daily driver up comp hill and bury it to the framerails the fees go up, but not just on the big weekends...........it's like duning welfare in my opinion, and I don't like that aspect of it, but 30-40 dollars for a week of solitude and some bitchen dune riding is still a steal, imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aceisback Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Jason, aren't you glad they don't consider Super Bowl weeknd a "BIG" one!?! Seem to remember that it's one of the best duning weekends going but we'll keep that secret to ourselves. Are you gearing up for DS Days? Doesn't look like Casey will be able to make it. Football...

aceisback Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 They are raising the fees for next season and they forgot to double bill us for one of the least crowded, best weather weekends of the year. Not necessarily off topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superrp7 Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Yeah, it sounds like alot. But it reminds me of a sign at a marine shop that says, " Don't stand there on your $100,000+ boat and b*tch about a $100 part!" The same could apply to this, I know I have at least that wrapped up in toys and I don't even have a rail, just atv's, truck and hauler. As long as it goes back into helping make it better. Besides you can't fight it. I'm sure they've seen how much they made off the old passes. Why not jack it up. Money doesn't seem to be an object at comp hill or at most camps out there.

EY3BA11 Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Money doesn't seem to be an object at comp hill or at most camps out there. You havent seen my checkbook have you.. I think this year im gonna buy the season pass as i anticipate going more than 3 times ITs a necessary evil and im not gonna complain because without our pass money how else would we get a upgraded and improved river crossing, a "UPGRADED" road, so on and so forth.

dunefreak Posted August 20, 2007 Author Share Posted August 20, 2007 THIS IS SOO STUPID WHEN I WAS LIL IT WAS FREE....AHHH THE GOOD OL DAYS I hear ya....BUT many things have changed since then as well. You can't just sit back and complain about those things either though. As time goes on some things are gonna happen no matter what. It sucks, but what are you gonna do? I'll tell ya what I plan on doing this coming season: buy a season pass, hope that the funds are put back into Dumont how they are supposed to, and then go duning as many damn weekends as I my wallet allows.

Danielle Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 It is probally posted somewhere in these 5 pages but I am to lazy to read through them all. When you buy an annual pass does it start from the month you purchased it to the following year or is it only good for that physical year and than you have to re purchase it in o8? And if we don't buy a pass right away how much will it be for us halloween weekend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
