Ken...what's up man?
Where you been hiding out?

It really sucked that trip out, even your footprints had razorbacks LOL
I never took you guys out to the big dunes because when the little stuff is that bad, the big stuff is outright dangerous and not fun at all.
The big dunes get witches eyes and with the speed needed to crest them you don't have enough time to avoid them on the other side.
Since we had a mixed group of experienced and inexperienced riders I elected to stay clear of them.
We mostly rode through trails and the little stuff that usually doesn't get as bad due to wind blocks and vegetation.
The good thing is that even when they're rough, the bowls in the big dunes are still fun to carve out...just hard to get to.
If you want to know where they're at, I'll try to explain...
They're just south of the pipeline and northwest of where the drag strip and pay parking is at.
No good hill climbs like Glamis in Kermit, though a few are over 100ft tall, it's nothing compared to olds.

If you get out this way again, hopefully the winds will cooperate and we won't have to worry about the razorbacks.
Something else worth noting is that I now have access to a large area of numerous isolated dunes, somewhere in the vicinity of 80 square miles.
They're not much for sport quads, but for someone looking to just cruise around and explore on a UTV it's awesome.
I've found 67 arrowheads and flint artifacts dating all the way back to the Clovis people since last year.
