IT WAS AWESOME!!!!!
What a blast!!
No completely crippled vehicles, LOTS of high speed runs along sand highway, lots of suspension/truck BS'n, and just a great time!
Bob's co worker(Jake?) came down a dune, and plowed right into a mound which couldn't be seen till it was too late. These dunes we were in were technically too small for traversing in 4 ton diesel, so we were just trying to get out. He caved in the bumper center-brace-deal. Sucks..
I somehow shoved my tire into my lower rear fender, which took a nice gash out of the tread while ripping the support rod out of the bed flange. I have the "909" bedside now..
We had an almost fried clutch, some cracked tires, and minor stuff really considering the beatings the trucks were taking..
I'll think of more..

Actually, if you drove over on the I-8, you saw the southern end od the dunes, which are Gordons Wells on the north side, and Buttercup on the south side. Glamis is still another 45-60 minutes north of there.

No really we were getting so much air they probably did see us from I-8
Prozac got 45 minutes of video.Sorry I was just having too much fun to stop and take pics.
We did do alot of speed work through the whoops
Got chased out of OLDS with warnings to disperse due to the extreme crowding at the base.
Pauly,We can only share the good pics with those that came out
