Looks like everyone is booking sites at cowboy for the first week of May. I have site 633 for mat 1 to May 4th and Allan has 4 sites booked.
-
I'll be there 4/26-5/4. What days has Allen reserved? Who all have you contacted with this info?

Allan and family will be may 1 thru may4th. It was brought up in an old group text early or middle April...... I think. Allan said 1st week of May was all they could do. I suggested it I. The group text and the majority said it worked for them too. To the best of my knowledge, deep bush and Dr strange love he sites at cowboy camp and Mike. Allan's family as well as I and my wife. My children most likely won't make that trip due to a new born end of Feb. I did find a guy next to the fire dept that rents rvs in waynoka. Called him yesterday and had a nice chat with his . Grimm needs to post his video from the fall trip........GRIMM whats the hold up! ;D. The boys shot some with cell phones, I will render it and see how it turns out. The rental that was set up next to Grimm is one of the rvs that company rents. They also have a covered storage for $120 a month so thats another thought of mine as well. $40 per month in their 3 acre yard.

PTO requested for April 30-May 3rd. Will be a good trip WITHOUT rain!!
-
Actually, this trip with rain was excellent!
-
was just enough to contain the dust but not enough to ruin the trip ! did you find someone to make a new arm for you?

Secured our camper rental yesterday. Got a confirmation too. There are 2 people in waynoka with 2 or 3 camper each they are renting. Very reasonable and right there if there are problems. This one is willing to let one of you guys sign for it since it will be late when we arrive. He pre fers cash too , like the other guy. Cash is king imo so more then happy to help since it helps me as well.

Glad to hear you were able to secure a camper. I believe one of the guys you're referring to is Hunter Chain. He is a good friend.

My camper is there too................. ;) ;) :m This trip will be work as well as recreational. Decided to remove all carpet and lay vinyl. Tired of sand burrs in carpet.
-
Lol ya your " camper " is there lol
I'm surprised you left the carpet this long. That would get old for sure but still a fantastic purchase imo!
-
Well,it sucks to work when it is supposed to be a time to goof off.

I agree

We will be there with scotts rail. Need to get it out and swap out coil springs and swap the front master cyl. Sadly mine won't make the trip again. Its sooo close but just not possible.
-
Sylvia has been notified. She said she thought Thursday will work.
-
That is great!!
-
Some of the best weather and sand you could ask for. Big group that changed throughout the week. DS cracked the frame at a rear mount and JC tore a CV boot off, not bad so far. Mine popped out of gear @ a really bad time. Mike got poison ivy getting the last bolts taking my wing off so the tree didn't eat it. And the "Sandborghini" returned to the sand after 19 years. Awesome over all.
-
It just keeps getting better every year.
-
it was a great trip ! always nice to see everyone and catch up. the weather was damn near perfect but i have to say again, that is the most humid weather i have ever experienced at that dunes! the decorations in our rental camper were a nice touch and not unexpected :m
i did tear dunebouds frame but not big deal, it may be 20 years old but apparently hadn't finished evolving yet ;D ;) once i get all that fixed i know it will be my idea of safe for the kids. i have a working theory as to why it happened too rofl
fought wind all the way home, always love that bs1
hauled the griddle , lp tank, water, soda and cooler down in the utv box. did so last time and this trip but..... this time the cooler decided to jump out on the way back. the carton of eggs exploded all over everything :m only got 18 years out of that cooler darnit. general g was driving by right after the half mile round trip jog to retrieve it, but he didn't get any pics so it didn't happen :m its kind of nice having the utv down there to tool around in.
general G......... thanks for the ride, it is a fantastic rail. having said that, shiny beads have never impressed me. people that know their rails, know how to dune are the people that impress me. i am not embarrassed to admit you had me reaching for the grab handle on the 2nd drop in. it was at that point i figured out you know your ride and can dune. it was a blast after that. while out , we saw a few endangered species buzzing around aka old school tail draggers. glad they were having fun but i don't miss that days at all !
fabr, i know your putting a new engine it but damn, i couldn't see a want for better response out of your rail, still impressed!
zoomies is starting to shed paddle after 40 years ;D here's to hoping its time for new paddles ;) ;D rofl
fabr, i never got around to lowering the cross over ring. i am sure it will make a difference but it was riding 10x better then before and not bottoming out on landings. i now know it has seen 6 more inches of wheel travel then it had in the past. thats how i now know the passenger side upper tabs don't have enough stand off to the frame. the rod jamb nuts hit the frame and bent. i am sure that added to the twisting moment on the frame tube.
deepbusch and mike, you two never disappoint leading the group runs !!

When we were wrapping the strap and digging out behind the tires I'd bet there was another foot of blow sand to the wet.I thought I would pull it off but when I saw I wouldn't make it ,well,I just had to dig a bigger hole. What can't be seen is that that was at the top of a small rise. I mean ,what was it? Maybe 6 foot?

Love the pics for sure!
She definitely captured some good moments.

It's always a good time in the sandbox! Glad to hang out with everyone. Thanks for the compliment on driving dsrace. :D Let's do it again sooner than later!
