I can't believe I missed this whole thread...

My cousin (rough250r) and I are planning to make the trip. We're both pumped to get out, ride the dunes and meet up with a bunch of fellow R guys!

Anyone who is considering (dan & Troy) should really try to go.  It'd be great to finally meet and put faces with the names of so many I already consider friends and have known for many years now. Let's ride and drink some beers and make this one hell of an ORGy!!

Im in for sure. Have a group of 4 planned. may camp unless we get a great group rate for cabins by mark

Sweet and maybe we can do a group pic and a pic of all the quads together also.

Of course!! can't wait

Are the cabins in the dunes?
I can't hardly wait!

Unfortunately not Sam. They are down the road outside the state park and parking lot. You have to trailer in every day which is the parking lot voucher challenge. Unless... you have a ride on (dune ready) which could be a licensed street vehicle that can actually go right on the dunes. Many will put their quad in the bed of their truck and drive right on eliminating the parking lot.

Kewl! I'd be afraid of getting the dually stuck lol
I figured I'll just show up with me truck an trailer and have all you guys to guide me...I'm sure I'll be in good hands with yawl! lol
When I camp I usually just sleep in my trailer anyways. So really all I need is overnights parking/camping area.

Pretty sure I'm coming up solo unless I can convince a friend to come with.

great. we will prob. trailer sleep too. We set it up as a toy hauler. AC and heat. big stereo system to rock the campground.
We will get more detailed as we get closer.

Hey Joe, it is never too early! I would actually suggest booking. The state park is nice, Yogi Bear is better, then if you really want to step your game up and stay at a resort, silver creek rv resort. There is also SIlver lake Resort and Campground. Here are some links.

Can you camp out at the dunes or does it close and need to re-enter everyday?

It closes down every night at sun down and re opens at 9am

Hopefully I'll have both quads ready by then! My brother and I have always wanted to go.

[Fear250r]

Getting closer. Lets keep this alive!

Hope to meet up with my R brothers, put a name with a face and a have a beer or 10.
