Well the guys had another "fun" trip to the dunes this year.

They took off with blue skies and hopes of a great trip ahead.

Their first stop is always Wyoming...where you can see it was a bit chilly!


I am really not sure what they are looking at down there but I can tell you that Gary (on right and his butt on the left.) literally got his pinky ripped off his hand days before this trip. ouch.

Some had more expensive cameras then others...
But they all looked totally thrilled to be there...





Well Mike looks kinda happy anyways!
Some of the group looking a bit happier.

Ray, Shannon, Gary, Ronnie, Greg, Mike
There was a lot of love going around...?!?


and finding phone service was tough.


They had made it to Idaho where they had an actual campgrounds. For some odd reason Shannon decided to try to was sand off his HOT quad with gasoline...this one still boggles my mind.


Shannon saying "howdy"
Then Gary forgot he had just had his pinky ripped off and tried to catch a can with it....ouch.


And once again they had crazy neighbors to entertain them.

hmmm...
hey guys...do they have pink boots where you got those pretty white ones?

Gary must be on some serious pain killers because I don't think it could be deep in thought...
They set off for the dunes and ended up getting caught in a storm.

This can't be good...


They were stuck miles away and the storm was between them and camp so they had to try to get back without getting killed.


They had to get down low in the dunes and put their flags down so they wouldn't get struck by lightening....I don't know why they are kicking Greg in the butt here other then the fact he is Greg.

Now this is not snow this is hail. It is a good thing they had helmets and protective gear.


They had to stop frequently to dethaw their hands on the warm pipes.



Luckily they made it back without incident.
They had a lot of guys go this year.


They guy in the next camp showing off..


.



I guess they were playing some dice game and they led Greg to believe that he won...

Twice...He was so proud of himself...bet he feels like a dumbass now though.

chilling by the fire.

On the way home they ran into snow around one bend.

And sunshine on the other.

They stopped at Hell's Half Acre on the way home.







All in all I think they had a very successful trip.

That's it for 2006....more in 2007.
