At the last minute, I decided to join up with some Desert Rats for the annual Juniper Dunes Cleanup put on by the Midnight Mudders.
The turnout was really good. Motorized recreationalist of all types attended. The park Rangers had a couple pretty neat new side x sides they were riding in.
The new road was not open yet, but it was pretty impressive as we headed that way from Smith Canyon. The road will run from the Kahlotus hiway all the way up to the upper lot road.
Desert Rats Earl, Pat, Brian, and myself followed the gas line all the way out to the big hill climb. We didn't really find much except for a few bottles and cans along the way. Perfect conditions at the dunes with lots of moisture in the sand.
The raffle was held at the upper lot, with lunch provided at 1pm. We made a plan to make our way back a little early to air up and de-flag. We knew a storm was brewing and didn't want to by airing up in the pouring rain. The plan worked because the storm hit as soon as the grand prize was given away.
Had a great time. Here is the pics that I took.
