I think the sand had a mind of its own on this trip. First ride of the day I was following with Dennis in front, eric in second and I was bring up the end when I missed a turn and went off into a "witches eye"(see pic below I pulled off the interweb of the mystic witches eye, new dune terminology to me) anyhow there were trees in that eye and I had no place to go but down but a grove of evergreen trees were in my way, so between the 3 of us breaking branches and inching the Tazcar over just enough to aim the front of the Taz into a nice little trail that led me out, whew!
I will say the sand was beautiful and smooth from North to South. We saw another Pilot with a little kid driving it. Also saw a Redline Revolt, i chattted up the guy, he said he pulled the stock
Engine and gearbox and installed a Yamaha Nitro Engine with RPM gearbox, it sounded like a beastly thing, could hear it all the way into the campground.
I also got to see Dennis' FL670 take a run, had to pull start the damn thing but when it fired up it ws music to my ears, wow sounded great and ripped thru the sand, too bad the throttle cable sticks and had to pit it.
Second day I stayed in the RV to have breckfast in the morning while eric and dennis wen out, well Ill let Eric fill in on those details.
Anyhow we wrapped it up on Thursday early due to storms moving in. On the way home and only a few miles from the dunes the wife and i saw the tornadoe that was heading to the dunes, Later I heard that it fizzled out over the dunes. So we dodged that bullet, my wife took a pic out of the RV through the window screen so its a little blurry but it was majestic!. Hope no one got hurt.
