Weekend at the Dunes!! Again.

What a weekend for the dunes. We headed out there Saturday morning. The weather was nice and miserably hot. We got some good riding in that day. Someone managed to tip over a Rhino and another person lost their four wheeler. That was all in the first ride. Sunday things cooled down a bit via huge gusts of wind. I seriously thought some of the trailers were going to tip over. Not a whole lot of riding was done that day. That night we had the most amazing lightning storm I have ever seen. However an amazing lightning storm leads to a lot of mud. It wasn't bad though because it cleared most people out and left us great riding the next day. Because of the rain we were able to get the razor to the top of Sand Mountain.


To some this might just look like a picture of my brothers behind but because of the rain storm we went to our friends trailer and played games. This was how we decided to get back to our trailer. It was really slippery and really funny.


A couple of the guys we went with decided they should light a fire in the rain. Well because everything was wet the poured gasoline on the fire. As you can see here the gasoline quickly caught on fire even up to the top of the gas tank. Don't play with fire kids. No one was hurt during this incident.

And here I am, my first time at the top of Sand Mountain. It was a pretty cold and a really fun ride. Yes I am still wearing bags around my feet. It was really muddy.

It is hard to believe it was like a hundred degrees just the day before it got so cold! You look so bundled up on top of the mtn.
