This week was a great week alot of great buggie rides and the weather was great. The dunes were the best when i got there. Saterday was an alright day like at two o'clock i rolled my bike end over end by the north pole then i get back to camp and my tyrod was bent, my rim was cracked, my frame is cracked, and my six pack rack got wasted. randog, mark, lou, and other people helped fix the tyrod and the rack. Besides all that it was a great week. :banghead::blury::grin:

Just got in and unloaded. :blury: Man I'm beat. We partied pretty hard this weekend and got alot of riding in. :D

What a great trip to end the season with. :banghead:

The weather was gorgeous. It was a little warm during the middle of the day (upper 80's maybe low 90's), but in the shade it was perfect.

The dunes were PERFECT! :grin:

We rolled in Friday night about 6 ish and set up camp right next to Randog and crew. After setting up and everyone got there the wind kicked up for an hour or two. We crammed about 10-12 guys in my hauler and watched some videos. :banghead: BTW good job on the Glamis video, Vegas Style!

Then the wind died down and it turned out to be a really nice night around the fire. Fri night we got some really fun rides in over to the south pole and comp. Randog and Capt were tearin up comp while most of us on quads sat back and watched these crazy fools. :dance:

Saturday more people in our group showed up (some day trippers). We got a few really good rides in that day. On one of the rides Brice (sandseeker) hit a witches eye in his rail and popped the bead off one of his rear wheels. I ran back, got the Grizzly and some tools, and came out to get it fixed back at camp. We got it handled pretty quick and then got a good run in after that. :whoop:

Our Saturday night festivites started just after sun down. After chillen under the awning while the sun set throwing back some beverages :beerpint: , we fired up all 4 or 5 grills. :banghead: Pauly's dad brought out 45 badass steaks to grill up along with some really good baked potatoes compliments of wingnut. We ate like kings that night. :lol::blury: As we got the fire going really good, we then set up the projector TV on the side of Capt's trailer for videos.

Sat night we did some more good night runs to the south pole, then the north pole, then comp, then back over to camp area. :boyyy:

Today (Sunday) the weather was perfect. It was warm but not too hot. We got most everything loaded up and then went for one very last ride of the season. The dunes were so smooth and easy flowing it was epic. I didn't want it to end. It was kinda sad thinking to myself that this is it for Dumont until those early summer rides. Oh well, this season has been pretty good despite a few mishaps and obstacles a few of us managed to overcome.

There's my trip report for now. Much more to come as far as pics and who can forget the "observations"! :argue: :beat:

Great times, guys. :chug: Thank you all for such a fun weekend. I think I might have partied too hard! :lol: My face hurts from laughing so much this weekend! lol

It was a really good turnout but I wish a bunch more from our group could have made it out.

Lou ( Lou b ) prooved that the world is an imperfect place.

"Bolts fall out all the time." :shocked: ...... :whoop:

Nice dune runs Louie. :driver::driver::driver:

Special thanks goes to Stu, Pauly's dad, and Wingnut for feeding this stray dog.

Great grub all weekend. :argue:

Geez! I thought I'd see some drunks or fire jumping pictures or even maybe the strap-on oops, tape-on blow-up sheep.

CONGRATS ONCE AGAIN TO PAULY AND ANGELA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I told ya my camera battery died. Some of those pics are on Craigs camera, but some still can't be posted up. :ninja::lol:

We tried duct taping Pauly up and it turned into a giant drunken UFC fight...not a real fight though. Pauly's "eff you guys" switch got flicked when we pulled the duct tape out. :lol: I was wtf, just take it, get taped up, and let us take some pics of you taped up on the ground. Whats the big deal right? THEN, when I was sitting in a chair around the fire, I heard the roll of duct tape get peeled back from behind me. They were gonna try and tape ME up this time. Oh hell no! :flipoff::laughoff: I jumped up so freakin fast ready to fight off every one of em just like Pauly did. :lol::lol: There's like a switch that gets flicked when you hear that tape come out. Maybe its just self-preserverance that takes over. :beat::laughoff::laughoff:

I had a great time left home about 7:00am Saturday morning got to D at about 9:30

Everyone was still sleeping except Pauly’s dad so I unloaded my truck and chatted with

him till everyone woke up. Then we went on a Pauly ride and I lasted about 2 seconds and they lost me, as I was riding along looking for them I see 4 quads flying around

heading towards the North Pole so I headed that way and met up with them there.

I think 1 day a year is all I can handle riding with you guy’s way to fast for me.

Saturday night was a blast I even managed to stay awake till about 2:00am rear for me

Woke up Sunday tired and sore so I loaded up the truck and headed home.

I want to thank all for a great weekend and all the food, drink and keeping an eye out for an old man.

:laughoff::flipoff::laughoff::laughoff:

The only pic’s I have of the weekend I took at home. First one is when you try to hold Pete down and someone pulls on some tape. It didn’t start to really show up till today. Everyone keeps asking me how I did that and I tell them that I pissed off the wife and she smacked me. :lol:

The other one is when you ride your banshee drunk :beat: in shorts, I felt it on Saturday night but it didn’t feel that bad. :lol:

post-796-1207611646_thumb.jpg

I also want to say high to Nick (Dumontdude10) I met you Saturday and didn’t even know it. :laughoff:

:flipoff::ninja::laughoff::laughoff:
