You posted the campsite info in another thread......  I will have to find it.


Edit:  Never mind it is on the previous page..  ::)  I will be there friday.


Edit:  Hate to say it but their map sucks.  "Map not to scale" is the key.  Of course it has been a while since I camped there.  :D  So 1c is behind what used to be the Oasis?  They have added a lot there.  So the dune entrance is south about 1/4 mile.  Anyone know what the daily gate fee is now?  $6?

Gate fee is $7.00 bill's per day.  And yo flag better touch the frigen pipe when you go in. 

If I believe I cannot do something it makes me incapable of doing it. But when I believe that I can, then I acquire the ability to do it , even if I didn't have it at the beginning.

here is a link to the forecast.  http://www.weather.com/weather/tenday/USOK0572?from=36hr_topnav_undeclared

I don't doubt 23", I was just going off of what stewart told shane. 23"  has got to be a record! not to meantion all the accidents on the roads from the locals that don't know how to drive in snow! did you friends go ride in the snow? how long did they stay?

lol!! ya I like it 65 - 70 degrees. If it would stay that temp all year long I would be in heaven! jeans and a long sleeve shirt make 55 degrees very comfortable. I was down at LS one year, with some friends that apparently like the heat, and it hit 95 degrees! I got so hot I started to get the shakes and had to go sit down in the shade and started downing cold water. this is why my trailer has a/c now! and those early june trips won't happen ever again for me!!!!

well there's no way the new SR2 with built/turbo motor will be done, but I think i'm gonna bring another one out for a shake down run so I can ship it off to the customer.  It's the old body style, and it's a bone stock motor with sprocket drive, but it should still be fun.  It's been ready for testing for a while, just haven't been able to get it out......

Took this quote off of another thread. Didint want to highjack much more and be off topic.

So how much for that complete car kit to be left at my house on the way home?  Sounds like a motor and frame short of a test drive.  ;D
We will talk about it on Friday. If your serious. This way you can see first hand the parts and quality. As for a frme and motor. Yeah thats about it. Well and a few other things like seat, steering column, pedals, tires , rims (Im only bringing 1 rear). If I need fronts in an emergency Im sure I can buy some at the local speed shop. Ill have my check book with. Never know what deals I might find. Also if I come home with an empty trailer and a pocket full of cash that will work too.

Well Im already to go boys! Flags will be flying high!

My brother is currently laid off work and he decided to join me for the trip. He does not have a machine to drive. I dont really see him too much and this will be a great trip for us to bond some. He said he would like to go just for the camping and bull $hit. Hes never been around buggies like I have and this will be his first rip to any dunes. DS already offered his empty passenger seat to take him out for the experience. Your a champ DS! Anyway see you all there!
