Peak Putters / All Wheelers Juniper Run Nov. 14, 2009
I'm going to say to start that it was one of the best days I've had out at Juniper ever! Why don't we do this more often?!?!
Started the day by meeting Lee and Paula Horton at McD's on Kennewick Ave. at about 9:15. Lee had to get food and gas, so Paula and I headed out and hooked up with Clay and his gang by about 10ish at Smith Canyon. Trash and Don passed thru and headed to the upper lot to unload and air down. Starting to look like a good turn out!
After getting aired down, we headed up the road to get everyone in the same place. Peanut had the "camp" set up by the time we all got there. We lined all the rigs up for a photo shoot pre run and milled around a while with Paula from the paper getting notes and aquainted with the crew. Her photog, Ky (?) rushed around getting pix of the rigs, then it was off to play. Paula an Ky were riding with me, so I took it easy to start and let them take notes and pix. Some of the AWORC crew aren't to familiar with sand, so we let them spend time getting the feel of thing and play on the dunes below the parking lot.
Carnage reared it's ugly head early when James broke the rear d-shaft in the flatty! Contingencies where worked out for Trash to haul him up the hill, then they got it to the trailer so James could get to friends place for repairs. Meanwhile, the rest of us played. I started getting braver with the TCH kids, who really seemed to enjoy the ride! Tim had the rail, and it was decided Ky would take a ride and get some in car action shots! I really want to see those. I think that kid would make a good wheeler! He bailed after lunch and missed the real fun. During all the thing with James, Don managed to pop a bead, so had to get that handled, too. Tim and I ran up to get the jack and CO2, but by the time we got back, things were covered.
After a couple hours of fun, we all gathered back at the tent and downed some food and enjoyed some lively BS, while Paula talked to folks and took a bunch of notes. Toni told her about the Christmas family activity, Peanut filled her in on ORVTW, and we made plans to head out again.
Headed out the pipeline and played grab a$$ with each other on the way to the north dunes. Most of us were playing in 2x, so lots of rooster tails and sideways fun. Spent some time in a small bowl where the turn is to head away from the fence to get to the other dune area, and kicked up some sand. I chased Trashy around a bit playing in 2x, and had a ball.
Got over to the big dunes to play, and spent some time attacking some small stuff and then decided to see about one of the bigger dune faces. There were some kids on bikes, so we watched them a bit , too. At this point, Wrench and his 4 popper Cherowagon got our attention by climbing one big dune. I'd been pretty impressed watching him wring that thing out all day! Trash, being Trash, took his turn after turn after turn and put on a bit of a show in the Rodeo.
Okay, so the 4 banger done got up the dune in fine style I want ya'll to know! Pretty cool. So, uh, me being me, I figured I'd be remiss in not trying the same hill. So, down and around to get lined up and take a run. Paula stayed with me, too. Brave lady! Well, as the pix will attest, I missed! Big time. One big red Ford stuck on a dune. Someone say winch? Lee hooked on with some help from Steve R. All tha did was pull it down tighter. Sooo, down to the bottom for Lee to run up behind me. Again, with able help from Steve, the line is attached and they get me unbeached. Okay, this will not do. Backed the thing down, took a short break, and lined up again. Paula had gotten out and was with the vultures at the top of the hill. Smart girl. 2nd gear, low range, and away we go. Got it that time! Anyone get a shot of it?
Meanwhile, Wrench is playing, too. Seems his spare wanted out and knocked out his rear window! Would you believe it didn't break, and he got it back in! Don't remember if he got up the hill again. Probably, tho.
So, while gathering our wits for more giggles, it's announced that Jafo has broken his rear d-shaft!! While he's getting that out, some of the rest of us watch FatBoy and his wrangler play on the dune. He never got up, but it sure wasn't for lack of trying! Clay took his turn backwards by easing the big ol' 'burban down from the top. Good shot of the underside, Clay! Nice grading job.
Well, we figured we best see to it Kev and the girls got out safe, so our bunch headed back down the fence line while the AWORC crew went out cross country. Lee and I followed while Don played in and out of some of the side trails.
I think it was around 3ish when we got back to camp and found TJ waiting around. After he got aired down, Paula went out with him for a bit. She deserved a ride in something besides my truck! James got back with a fixed d-shaft and also went out to play for a few more minutes. Good thing, as he had Trash's tow rig! Finished up the day with some good conversation and packed up to go. Paula kind of seemed like she didn't want to leave!
Also, some time was spent picking a mess in one of the parking areas where fires have been built. I think 6 bags are out in my truck.
Okay, everyone, let's see your pix and comments!!!

Here are most of the rigs of the day...
...including these two.
Ever see this much flex in a stiff sprung, leaf spring flat fender.
Unfortunately James was the first victim of carnage with a broken driveshaft.
Anybody think Wrench (on the board) is just talking about the work he's done on his 4 cylinder... take a look… he owned this BIG dune and he had all four in the air on some other dunes.
I'm not so tacknically litarate, but isn't something missing?
Oh, and look past the broken part, and you might get a feel for the big boy dune.
Hey Jafo, don't you need that under the Jeep?
And now, my artsy pic... this TJ kept trying, but I think he continued to be denied on the dune.
I tried the dune once, but some big red Ford land yacht was in my way and I was forced to put cable to him to get him out of my way. I’m sure I would have made it otherwise and that is the way I’ll continue to tell the story. Thanks for calling the run Grumpy and I think we will see some good press from getting the Herald out there.

Okay, we're a little crazy to have a Duramax for a daily driver. But if we go off our meds, we might wind up in a Prius.
If you want to hear God laugh, tell Him your plans.

Not sure where I earned the name Crash, but that would be me in the little 4-banger...

Great pic!! I had a blast out there.
Now, time to build a spare tire rack so it doesnt hit the rear window again...

All Wheelers & Peak Putters -
Juniper Dunes Run
November 14th, 2009
On Saturday November 14th, 2009 around 7:30 AM I loaded up the rig to make the 100 mile journey to Juniper Dunes near Pasco, Washington.
It had gotten real cold the night before and the rig was frozen.
Along the way we stopped off for gas and food in Sunnyside.
We got to the meeting point in Smith Canyon just before 10 AM and started airing down with the others.
Paula Horton, a reporter a from the Tri-City Herald came out for a ride along. Her photographer also came on the run.
We convoyed toward the Upper Parking Area to meet up with the rest of the group.
We passed White Trash & Peanut going the back to find their goggles.
Pulling into the Upper Parking Area.
Most of the group but not all.
Bobracing broke his rear drive line early in the game.
Here are some pictures of our fun.
Fatboy testing the sand out.
TJ40 about to test out the new tires in the sand.
White Trash towing out Bobracing.
The group got together and picked up a mess someone left.
The Peak Putters stopped at the Upper Parking Area for lunch and we headed out toward the Northeast.
Here we stopped for a picture and to wait for Fatboy to catch up.
Mayur slid off the trail.
We regrouped with the Peak Putters at the north end big dunes.
My ride.
Grumpy (AKA DaveW) got himself stuck at the top of a big dune with the reporter riding shotgun.
This XJ lost a back window on the way up. I am guessing he is stuck too.
The view from the top.
Grumpy giving the dune another run.
Fatboy's turn.
TJ40 hitting the bowl.
Screaming Toylet
It was time to start heading back out so we said our goodbyes to the Peak Putters and headed out by running the trails toward the east fence.
There were a few steep climbs a long the way.
These guys happy to top the hill.
Running the fence line.
Once we got back to the Smith Canyon Small Parking Area we aired up.
Fatboy headed back to Yakima and the rest of us stopped in Richland for dinner at Kimo's before heading home.
This was a very fun run thanks to everyone that came out.
We hope to do some more joint runs with the Peak Putters in the future.

ok... I guess I can finally put my pics up now that I've clean up our mess in front of our garage and my toes are frozen!!
After getting to the upper lot and unloading the rodeo - for those of you who don't know our yota is getting a face lift and an upgraded tummy tuck so it's in the garage in pieces. Ry likes to play in the rodeo so we brought it out to join the fun. Anyway, so we unloaded at the upper lot and ran out to set up "camp", then realized one of our pairs of goggles must have fallen out the door back at the trailer so we headed back to go find them. Luckily we did!!
By the time we got back out to where everyone was bobracing had broke his driveshaft so we tugged him up the hill
On our way out we came upon a party/fire area that had been left a mess. So while Trashy and bobracing continued on to the trailer, I stayed behind and started cleaning. To be joined by Reco Very and Reco's Gurl and then the rest of the group. We ended up with six bags of garbage and amongst that mess found a glass plate, a fork and half a dumbell.....lol. I don't have any pics of everyone cleaning up cuz I was too busy looking for garbage. We headed back to "camp" and had some lunch then headed out further into the dunes with the group.

Paula wasn't sure when it will be in the paper. She still has some people to interview, so it could be a bit yet. She wants it in the weekend Outdoor section...
