The last day of the month and I can't believe it, the wind has died down to something around 8 or less. Finally, we can sweep the sand out and not see it blow back in as fast as we sweep it out. I think one reason it has stop blowing is that inland it has cooled down and we are getting a off shore push of cool weather with a little rain.
This morning we got up and went for a ride up to Winchester Bay to see what all the hop law is about this so called "Dune Fest".
This is what this area looks like on just any normal weekend or week day. But when Dune Fest comes to town it turns into this.
As you can see it has turned into a small city of RV's and sand toy's. We had a heavy over cast all day too.
Each year Dune Fest is put on to promote family fun here in the dunes. It is a five day event with Treasure Hunts, Poker Rides, moto-cross racing, sand drags, along with a 3 days of safety lessons for all kids. Then on Friday and Saturday night they will be rocking the Dunes with classic rock bands.
Our first stop was vendor row to see all of the new things coming out in the market for Side by sides.
As you can see, we got here before the crowds started to show up, like 10:00 AM.
We had to take a good look at this RZR. The guy that owned it was getting some new shocks put on it by this vendor, they went for more then what I could afford. Any way this guy races this down in the desert of California, Arizona and Nevada. It was nice talking to him, the only thing be could say is this sand is easy to get stuck in. He has added a 20 gallon fuel tank to this and along with all of the other things it is a little heavy for playing in the sand.
Cyndy found her favorite sweater and t-shirt shop, "Girls get Dirty Too. She did a lot of looking and talking to the owner, she is hoping to talk the owner of Steve's ATV Rental into buy some sweatshirts and T-shirts for the desert this winter for us to sell. More clothing for the store!!!
Cyndy even found the Geico lizard to have her picture taken with.
Now this is my kind of tour vehicle, only if it was a Ford.
Cyndy is always looking for a good by on a trailer, has to be better then the one we have now. Don't tell her but I kind of like this one, too!!!
Lets see if Cyndy gets a new trailer maybe we can get this 1000 RZR. Polaris had a big display here day viewing the new 1000, starting tomorrow you can test drive them. I went to sign-up and all the slots had already been taken for tomorrow.
All of the big side-by-side manufacture's had displays here. This is all the closer Cyndy would let me get, it is better for both of us, our 800 will do us just fine. That's what I keep telling myself.
We did spot a couple of off the wall vehicles out here.
That Camaro really looks sharp. but I still like
this one the best!!!!
After a morning of walking around this area, (wish I had brought the RZR) we head out for lunch and a drive up to the Elk viewing area to see how the elk are doing.
They are still in velvet, but I think there antlers have stopped growing and they have some nice racks. There was a lot of cows hanging out here to but did not see any spicks of two points. They must be hiding up in the woods. We had a nice enjoyable day of just be tourist and see the sights. We don't know what we are doing tomorrow, that's the nice thing about RV living if you don't feel like doing nothing you don't!!!!!
