For you "real dune " guys(read as Glamis and area) ;D ;D how far northeast and where/when would you be possibly interested in a get together at the dunes? Sand Mountain or something around that distance? Be real nice to beable to shoot the sh*t with several of you!
-
Hell Coral Pink looks really nice to me huh Fast?
-
Coral pink looks like a good summer option.
Why not make a true sand excursion and plan a trip to the g spot?
-
I'm thinking the Nebraska guys might be a bit too far but I'm game if those guys are. hell come to think about it I bet it's no further for them than me. Let's toss some ideas around.

Hmmm,let's also check the lunar calendar for a full moon rising just before/after dark if possible also. ;) Personally I LOVE moonlit nite rides.

How do you feel about long walks on the beach?

Not too fond of them with you...........................................

'nite Sweetie. LOL!!!!!!!

See, I keep thinking about that LS trip - it is right at 1,000 miles each way. It is the last 300 that is the killer. 700 i am so down with - just a day. 1k is more than a day drive.
-
Same here with Glamis for me.
-
one option is Dumont - just outside Vegas. Reason that is an option is well, duh - Vegas. Not my thing, but some folks could make that trip with the better half a bit more of a sale? Drop off the women at the spa and go run the dunes.

Ifen I can make Winslow AZ in a day from where I live pulling my trailer Yummi You could make LS easily in a day. I live 2.5 HR's north of LS. Just be sure to get the deletes done on that Dodge of yours. Mite have a hill or two to clime in OKC.

Coral Pink would the best place for a summer run. Would be nice and cool. They have a nice group camp spot to for 75 buk's a night. No motor's or Genny's after 10PM thro.

I'd love to go anywhere north in the summer! NEXT SUMMER, when my sh!t is done!

I'll mark it on my calender Master. July the 4th 2011.

Sounds like a plan to me Fast! You don't know how badly I wanted to make the tour with you guys this year.
-
i need to get in one of these times... by july4th 2011 i will have broke my buggy again and rebuilding at that time.. if history repeats..lol last two years was building all july.. ONE OF THESE TIMES!!!! i will meet all ya guys..
-
Dumont is not really "just outside" Vegas. Its 2.5 hours or so.
You take Hwy15 *(If I recall from memory) west from Vegas for two hours till you see the worlds tallest thermometer (Baker, Ca) and then head north 30 miles.
Baker is the LAST place you will see so if you need anything its 30 miles to it and Baker is just a lil place...
The only thin near Dumont is a coule cement outhouses near the first tiny area and its not near the real dunes!
You gotta pass the area with the cement outhouses (note: in the 120 plus summer heat you must be able to hold your breath for the time inside. This is mandatory.)
You go pass the outhouses to this long dirt road that takes you back a few miles to the base of the dunes where many camp and have a good view of the dunes.
Vegas can be cool JUST to go walk down the strip. You do not even need to go inside the casinos other than to a buffet if you like buffets.
The strips sites are worth seeing if you are in that neck of the woods.
There are some things to know about it though like the show they used to do (dunno if still do) with the pirates and the two full size ships sailing around in the little harbor they made. You DO NOT want to get caught on that sidewalk when that show starts! Get there early nd sit up in the little stand AT THE TOP!
The sidewalk will get so crowded you will not believe how they pack it. I am 6 foot 2 inches and I was uncomfortable being taller than most there. But those sitting in the stands had an awesome view and not as crowded and the show was worth seeing. Skantily clad female pirates who were confronted and taken prisoners by the other ship of pirates. Some of the things they do for that show are pretty dang amazing.
Glamis you have Brawly 15 miles away for basics and goods. The last bit of the drive from Phoenix to Glamis is a trat in itself as the road is more of a roller coaster track than a road. Its not too bad for bug things but you will see a lot of scrapes at the bottoms of the hills on it from overloaded things going to fast. Hammering thru there in a rental car is IMMENSE fun!
But have a friend go in front of you to warn of cops! We went thru it at well over 85 and near 100mph and I am glad I was in a rental but it was so much fun we back thru it twice! lol
Plus the view alone when you first see Glamis coming in from Phoenix way is something you NEED to see and will NEVER forget.
Cannot yet say about Utahs dunes but hope to be able to soon!

I'm game. We leave St Anthoney on the first of July. Spend one night on the road in Nevada some where and be in Pink Coral on the third of July. Nice camping there if we can get the big camp ground.
-
Need to check the calendar but I think that would work.

We can leave St Anthoney and run straight down 15 Hwy all the way into Utah to Little Sahara and spend the night at Sand Mt. Then on down to Coral Pink. That would be a nice run. Long as we are both still running and not broke. Comming home we could ether go back up to 70 Hwy and go east through Grand Junction Co. or go on back down to FlagStaff AZ and run 40 back home. Would be a fun trip.

One day, one day soon. :'(

Coral Pink was nice. The guys at the State park seemed to be mad about people with sand toys being their and where basic jerks to us. Next door is a large BLM camp ground that is basically an open flat spot, which we had to ourself. If you don't have to have hook ups the price is way better. Only rule they had was no fire marks or pits after you leave. The BLM guys where nice and helpful. We got maps from them to dinosaur tracks which made for a nice day trip on the RZRs, sand covered trails with trees which can be a nice break from the sun. Kids love the idea of going on a hunt.
Dunes are fun the hills have sharp nose on them like LS which can lead to getting a little more air than expected. Big trees and huge rocks along the dune make for interesting pictures.
Kanab is awesome one of our favorrit place to go. There is tons of trails all around the area all of which are beautiful.

Let's see how LS goes and decide for sure then. ? I'm all for it assuming car is OK..

Hmmm.......
-
Coral Pink sand dunes by Kanab? hmmmm When is this?

Should be there late the 28th of June. Will leave St Anthony early in the morning and pull into Coral Pink late that night.
Yummi that would be cool if you and the miss could make it. You to lance. We are going to reserve the big space that will hold five or six trailers.
-
How many days are you guys staying for?
-
Two things in that area that I absolutely wouldn't miss if I was you. Go to the mexican restaurant in Kanab called Nedras. Absolutely the best Heuvos Rancheros I have ever had........
Plus there's a highway route that will take you to I-70 thats got to be one of the top 3-4 in the west (and I've been on most of them) Northeast towards I-70 you go thru Bryce and get on highway 12 (Escalante/Boulder) that turns into highway 24 (Hanksville). It's got to be one of the most beautiful drives in the west.

Ya I bet that would be a pretty drive. Got to watch it though. we can't pull our trailers through Zion Natl forest to long. Made us turn around last time we were up there. We are 42 feet and you can't pull anything longer then 30 ft through some of that area.
-
I thought it was a bit shorter yet to be assured of making it thru.
-
That route doesn't go thru Zion. Zion would be a left turn at the first 89 symbol at the bottom of the route
-
Concur with Lance on the drive....been through there a few times and that part of the country is beautiful! I have not been to Nedras, I guess I need to get back out there! :)
-
So,who all is going for sure to St Anthony's? Who ,for sure,to Coral Pink? I'm in for both unless broke before CP.

Buggy is welcome to stay in our camp. You and the wife are welcome to stay in our trailer to if you would like. Got nice lay down beds in the living area. Town is about 45 min's to and hour each way from dunes.
