    No where in the manual can I find anything that says one should NOT high-mark sand dunes..... :confused:
    Or that one should NOT go in the dunes if one has left all the recovery gear, shovels and cervezas at home..... :rolleyes:
    It might say something about having a friend with a winch and tow strap somewhere in there, but it was just a quick rip.... :(

    Yup. It looked like fun....what could go wrong? I hadn't even lowered the PSI. Was still at about 28psi.
    Last time I was out there 12 psi worked great.


    5 of us, 3 hours, with 3 shovels.
    The topside of the dune kept falling in.

    I thought they were laughing 'with' me. Oh.

    Shovelling sand on a slope is not a fun stuck.
    Wait a minute, I think that's what my wife (who was filming it) was calling me, a funned stuck....:p

    Wish I we had sand dunes like that in MO. Snow piles don't really work as well
