Anyone going? We went last year for the first time and it was awesome. Kids had the best time and are looking forward to doing it again this year.

How was it compared to glamis still a shit show?

I am A glamis fan but Dumont was way better for Halloween. The BLM do great for the kids and the general camping people do trick or treating and haunted house or mazes. Dont know how it will be this year but we are going.

went from a LS2 to a twin turbo LS2... which snowballed into a massive project. New fuel system, new radiator, all new lines etc.

yeah those 80's are finicky if they sit too long, fun when they run.

Oh wow that will be freaking fun. Is the trans going to live in front of it? LOL

It use to be great running bike but the fuel petcock went out and they are weird. I need to get a factory one put on it and a new battery.

You going for the week?
8 days with the 5150 Whips crew. They all bought new Rzrs and are defying the stop ride - stop sale order from Polaris.
Have a generator being forklift unload - delivered to the House Tuesday after, have to be here.
Just being on the Dunes is excellent, driving the dunes is a bonus.

RV packed with 3 cases of beer, 6 sides of ribs, a case of tri tip. A bottle of Titos,, case of champagne, gallon of OJ, 60 gallons Avgas,, 20 COSTCO pumpkin muffins, a case of candy bars, items to make Alices silver medal chili, 30 Lbs of that crazy Gentle Giants dog food the K9's love, and hopefully the new $90K albatross Dually doesn't puke again.

Got the delivery moved forward earlier.
We're pinned down by the Santa Annas.
We'll roll in late tonight or in the AM when the winds die down.

Sorry about pic quality. Our Dumont Halloween trip in like 2007, we had a real door with working doorbell, prop chain saws, strobe lights, scary tunes, scary movies playing on a 10x10 screen , graveyard, candy, the whole works. The kiddies loved it and they came by in loads on flat bed trailers. Great times!

Wow, was afraid of that with the new covid camping craze. Haven't been to sand mountain in about 8 years(friends always do Dumont). Was headed there for thanksgiving but maybe Dumonts a better choice with a little more room to spread out???

Yes I think Dumont would be a better choice on the big holiday weekends, there were about 30 camps at highway 50 and across on the other side as well. It was beyond packed.

Sorry guys I had a rough start. Broke the buggy first run of the first day so I pretty much drank the rest of the time. Lol some pics. This is pretty much my
Favorite. We had a haunted house in our trailer and this guy and his wife from another camp volunteer to hang out and scare people. Well turns out they like scaring my youngest and I couldn't stop laughing.

ah crap! I HATED adjusting those shifters... I had the fortin shifter w/ 2d in my last car.

are parts readily available for a rebuild?

I broke my R&P in my S4S end of season last march... got it to the shop within 2 weeks... it sat at rancho for almost 7 months waiting on a R&P to come in.

Well I am really hoping that the ring and pinion is ok otherwise yeah I will be fucked. Rancho said no ring and pinions until February at least. It may need a case as well. Said it might be able to be welded.
