Had an awesome time with @Tahoe540 at Sand Mountain NV for Easter weekend. Had a front hollow spindle pinch nut keep coming loose and ended the weekend with a punctured rear paddle. Dam fun weekend for our crew.

have thought about taking the car up there, it looks like a pile of san dropped in the desert, not all that big it you are just using paddles?

There is one big hill to drag and a few bowls to carve. It is not worth the trip from SoCal/AZ for the duning/driving experience, unless you just want to do something different and see some country. My best friend lives about 30min away in Fernley. He took his sand car to Glamis more than he took it to Sand Mountain while he owned it.....

If you want to do it to say you've been there then that would be the "why". It's fun but not Glamis fun. I think it is about less than half the size of Dumont. Yes I run just paddles, there are however miles and miles of dirt roads that you can take from valley to valley to explore. It's only a 1.5 hour drive for me so 3 day camping trips work out well for me. Halloween and Easter are the biggest weekends, we are debating on heading out for memorial day weekend depending on the weather.
