Nice pics. Looks like the weather was great. My son board member, gd hall 1999, was there for the weekend. He took his camper and stayed at the camp ground. Maybe you two crossed paths.

Looks like fun. I used to ride three wheelers on the Oregon Dunes. I think it would be fun to take the Blazer down there some day and take the whole family out on the dunes.

Re: Michigan Sand Dunes (pics)

One of these days I will see a dune in person, but not from
behind the wheel, I have no fear and that can be an issue.

Nice pictures

Re: Michigan Sand Dunes (pics)

Very cool area, some day we need to take a family trip over that way.

Question for ya, what's the best tire set up excluding sand tires for running around in the dunes?

Great pics, thanks for posting.

Oh, Probably Mickey Thompson Baja Belted is the most popular. I don't think it's too important though.. The best thing to do is let more air out. I ran 10-11 lbs. in those Swampers. 37x12.5 on 12" wide
It's all about air pressure & POWER... If you don't have power, than you need momentum. Momentum can get to be a rough ride with leaf spring suspension. It would be awesome if you did make a family trip, we'll see if we can get Chevyman63 to finish his ride!! Come on Tim, time to shift into second gear!!! J/k

Re: Michigan Sand Dunes (pics)

Cool!
So do they require the dune flags to be on the front?
Out her at Pismo everyone hasum on the back.

I can see were the front would be visable first as you climb a dune so maybe that is the thinking...
Looks like fun!
Burt

Great pics. We are going up Aug. 5-9. We go up every year and always stay at Jellystone. Got a 383 for the Blazer coming for this year! Will be thrashing to get it all finished, but looking forward to it!

Awesome!! Jellystone huh.. Do you have kids?? Maybe I'll load-up the Jimmy and see if I can track ya down that weekend. Be nice if we could a handful of members to show-up and cruise the dunes.

Might be a bad idea, if your trying to have a family vacation. Better check with the wife first.

Yep...I have 3 kids. They love blasting the dunes. We did it in a '78 CJ7 with Chevrolet drivetrain last year. This year will be the first year for the Blazer. Had to have more room for everyone....and of course the 383 to add to the fun factor!

That would be great!

You're right...I was just telling the wife today that I'm going to get a little less fussy about stuff and try and get it together so I can drive it. Now that you're off work you can help! J/K.

Great pics. Brings back memories.
