Mike & Steph's Spot: Gotta Love The Dunes

We went to the dunes for Rodeo weekend. We left on Wednesday so we got 3 full days and part of Sunday for riding. We did LOTS of riding and had a great time. The weather was great. Not too hot and just the right amount of breeze. We camped at Buttercup again because we ended up meeting up with some people who were already going there instead of Gordon's Well. The other people we went with rode quads, which was nice for me because it's much easier for me to follow quads instead of the dirt bikes. There were a couple of hiccups in the trip. Our friend Daniel wrecked on Saturday afternoon and broke his collar bone. Then on our last ride on Sunday Mike had a pretty bad wreck and got a concussion. He's still feeling the aftermath of the wreck, but is doing good. He got pretty lucky to get away with just a concussion and broken plastics on his dirtbike. On Saturday night our friend JC rode his street bike out from Tucson and stayed the night. Then Sunday we went for a ride to see what his street bike would do in the dunes. It did surprisingly well. But JC is such a good rider he could make anything handle the dunes. All in all it was a great weekend. Unfortunately it will probably be our last trip of the season. Usually we would go again for Easter but I'm getting my tonsils taken out the week before so we probably won't make it for Easter.

Our home for the weekend. Our camp is the circle in the middle of the picture. You can see our flags. We fly a Divers flag and the flag from the country of Montenegro (yes there really is a country named Montenegro) so that we can always distinguish our camp from all the others. Rodeo weekend is always nice because it's not super packed like other weekends. Thanksgiving weekend you probably wouldn't see any open spots between camps from this vantage point.
