Oregon dunes meet, spring april 23rd & 24th and summer dates in second post

I don't recall this being talked about above, so wanted to check in on requirements beyond a dune safety flag (DON'T FORGET YOUR FLAG).

Pick up your Oregon ATV/OHV Permit before hitting the sand if you don't have one. I gotta pick mine up still. They're only like 10 bucks for 2 years. Supposed to have them anytime you are on the dunes.






EDIT: Deleted everything after this, cause it's not valid if you have a Valid Drivers license and are just driving a truck/suv/etc. But you do need the ATV Permit above.

 

Sorry fellas im not going after, it just seems like the entire world isnt going to stop shitting on me.

 

O man!! sorry to hear that, man! Don't worry about us.

 

Well, I'm still planning to be at the Safeway at noon ready to go. No clue how long I'll be staying, but I definitely want to spend at least some time on the sand with the Tacoma. I don't have the Habitat anymore, but my truck is pretty unique with the stickers on the side and the bumpers, and the big ass cell booster on the front end, so hopefully not hard to spot.

I'll prolly be on 146.460 if I remember to turn on my HAM. Hope to see SOMEONE there, lol.

 

Packing and fueling up now

 

Too wet for the kids to want to roll out, sorry guys. Take lots o' pics and have fun!

 

I'm at the Lil Brown Hen Cafe down the street from the Safeway having breakfast. Or will be as soon as our food finds its way to our table.

 

It is about lunch time, I'll be posted over by the gas pumps at Safeway chowing down for a bit

 

@TheOnlyPajooned and I are gonna head out to goose pasture staging and hit the sand in a couple minutes. We are still at Safeway currently. Anyone else coming?

 

@YF_Ryan Had an absolute blast brother!

Thanks for showing me around the dunes, and digging me out when I got a little adventurous

Can't wait to get together again man!

 

We are going to have to set summer dates so I can show up to. All I could think qbout today was all the fun I was missing.

 

Was great meeting you guys. Can't wait to get out again.

 

Sorry you missed it, man! Always another day. Keep us posted on another trip

 

Few more pics from Saturday. Was definitely more comfortable cruising around in the truck than in the SxS for the day.

 

So after 4 months of talk/planning only 2 people showed up?

 

YUP!

 

Thats lame.

 

YUP!

Is what it is. I totally get people not wanting to camp in that crap weather though. Wife and I were already down at our Condo in Winchester Bay, so it was an easy drive up to Florence for us, and a warm and dry condo for us after.

 

Honestly, at first I was a bit bummed too (at first); but it actually was pretty awesome, because we got to spend some real quality time together

I have a lot more photos and a few videos I'll post when I get home, I wanted to be respectful of showing off plates

I can only speak for myself (and by proxy, my wife) we had an absolute blast despite the low turnout and standard PNW weather

 

That's true/fair. When the OP came up in December I remember thinking April was alittle ambitious on the weather front. Good on you two for still getting after it though.

We usually ride Motos and Quads at the dunes and have definitely abandoned our camp to get a motel room for the night to warm up/dry out after riding in the rain all day. Went back to our still setup camp and resumed camping like nothing happened the next day hahaha.
