Sand Addiction - August 2007 - (Page 12) News By Jon C rowley, D uneGuid e.com It was one of those days where it was really too hot to do much. Topping out at nearly 100 degrees on March 17 is a bit unusual for Dumont, but it sure didn’t seem to slow down the duners who came to help the Friends of Dumont Dunes with their annual cleanup. 5th Annual Dumont Cleanup A little competition is always good when it comes to cleaning up the dunes. This year DumontDuneRiders.com won the award for most bags collected by a group – 168 bags. Dunes and Trails ATV Club came in second. It was great to see the camaraderie when the result is clean dunes. Several hundred people registered for the cleanup, and the two large dumpsters brought in for the cleanup by BLM were nearly filled to capacity. Participants were treated to a BBQ lunch and a free t-shirt. Many businesses donated prizes for a raffle that seemed to go on forever as the heat wilted those waiting for a chance to win. Mark your calendar for next year’s cleanup – March 15, 2008.

It was a great event for sand enthusiasts and country music lovers alike. All day Saturday, rally participants in buggies and on bikes traveled the dunes between check points, gathering stamps on their cards to enter into a raffle. Participants who collected trash in the dunes were given an additional raffle ticket, giving them a second chance at prizes which included t-shirts, riding gear, accessories, and more. The grand prize was a four-seat sand car donated by Suspensions Unlimited. After a long, hot day, riders ended the night with a free concert and some well-deserved relaxation. 12 www.sandaddiction.com http://lazerstar.net http://www.duneguide.com/ http://DumontDuneRiders.com http://www.FriendsofDumontDunes.org http://www.DumontDuneRiders.com http://www.DunesAndTrailsATV.org http://lazerstar.net http://www.sandaddiction.com
