I am trying to get an idea on my trips for this year, and want to make this one for more then the afternoon....

 

Labor day weekend. Sand mountain Nevada. But it might change this year. Not sure yet but people were talking about moving it at the last DS Days.

 

Last it had been discussed, it had been moved to Sand Mtn UT for some new scenery and a change. Not perminant thing just something different. MUCH MUCH MUCH bigger area to rider and a bigger Mtn to race on to boot. Also closer to the easterners.

Dont know if that is still what everyone wants to or not that was just the last thing discussed on here about where. the when will always be the sme I think.

 

I am guessing, much cooler it UT....That would be a good thing. Riding and 100 plus, not my idea of the great times [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

It can still be hot on Labor day in Utah. Prepare for anything from 70's-100's.

One thing about that place, bring lots of fuel, and stay for a while. You can ride for along time without riding the same sand. There is trails also for those of you that like that. Steep chutes, lots and lots of area to jump, and the biggest race hill in N. America! You dont want to miss it this Year!

For those of you that dont know where its at, look for Delta, Ut on mapquest, thats the closest city.

 

Wow nearly 600 miles on Mapquest! Thats a long haul. Not to mention I would be passing right by Sand Mtn NV at about the 220 mile mark.

Anyone up for carpooling? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

It will be approx 26hrs for us. Maybe I can talk the Spiderbike into making a debut this year, [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Delta, UT is just under 600 miles from LA as well, whereas Sand Mountain, NV is 420. The directions to Delta, UT couldn't be much more simple though from LA - get on the 15 Fwy and go 500 miles!!!

I like the idea of Utah better because I think we'll get a much better showing - by shaving off the extra 400 miles (approximate distance between Fallon, NV and Delta, UT) I think we will see a lot more mid west and eastern guys show up. Not to mention that LS, UT is also bigger so it feels more 'worth' the effort to drive a long distance. I don't know what the distance is for choosetoloose, but 26 hours plus an extra 400 miles to arrive at Sand Mountain, NV would just not be worth it. SM, NV is nice, but not for 30+ hours of driving....

 

We are looking at a13 hour drive for us. We don't have a good way to sand camp, are there good hotels (lowend cost) in the near by area? And how far is delta from the dunes???

 

I may be wrong but I beleive the dunes are about 35 miles from Nephi UT and there is hotels there. I am not sure how far it is to Delta, its just a small town so not sure if there is a hotel there or not.
