Me and a couple buddies are heading to silver lake later this summer and one buddy wants to rent a quad what is available and what kind of quad and How much? thanks

 

i've only seen some small dune buggie things. im going tomorrow i'll check out and post friday night.

 

. Last year I was there and I looked into the buggy rental. I did not see any kind of quad rental. you can rent dune buggies that are two seaters for 90 dollars per hour the guy told us that you can not go up all the hills due to lack of power. and when i was out riding i seen a lot of them broke down. the cool thing that we did do other then just ride on the quads we did the jeep rentals. that was more of a reasonable price for the experiences since but you can not drive where you want to. there is a tour guide where you have to follow him/her and drive/do where they say

 

No one at Silver Lake rents quads although they used to years ago. There's the place RxRaptor referred to that rents two seater mini dune buggies, but they're powered by 20 HP Honda lawn and garden motors and are truely gutless. We routinely come upon them either broke down or stuck with unhappy people nearby. Do not waste your money on them. They're easy to spot; they are all red with the phone number in black numbers on the side of the body. The Jeep rental place with the tour guide that Rx was reffering to is called Sandy Corners. All first class people and equipment, but you have to follow your guide around like a puppy. That's cool for people who have never duned but I think your buddy would be pretty bored. There's a new place this year on the north side of the road across from Jellystone Park called "Parrot's Rentals" that Jeep Wranglers with no guides. They're not in my May 2002 phone book, but you might be able to get their number from the Chamber of Commerce (231) 873-5018. That would probably be his best bet, but probably won't be cheap. (Fun never is) Enjoy the dunes![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Are you taking the ferry across or coming by land?

 

Thinking of the ferry not sure what it cost my boss was one of the first people back in the day that were doing the sand drags with pick ups and what not they havent been there in years and don't remember what the ferry cost one person told me it was costly so we might go by land proably faster any how but really not sure thanks for the info...
