I have heard about these dunes....never been though!
Captain Bruce has been there. He used to live in Sacramento and now he's out here by where I am, only 20 miles away.
Have you ever been to Sand Mountain?

Hey Rand,
I have been to Sand Mountain more times than I can count! I've been going there since 1982. Back when 4 wheelers weren't invented yet. My family and I were the first ones to bring a swimming pool to Sand Mountain back when my kids were little. I contacted a local water delivery co. and they brought 4,000 gallons of water out to us for our pools. We'd swim all day and ride in the mornings and at night. Now you see pools all over the place in the summer.
I describe Winnemucca to people by comparing it to Pismo. Winnemucca is probably a hundred times bigger though. Winnemucca doesn't have any big dunes, just like Pismo. Winnemucca is dirty though, like all desert riding and Pismo is nice and clean because of the ocean and humidity.That's why I love the Oregon Dunes. 330,000 acres of riding through trees, lakes, the ocean, giant hill climbs, tree shoots, trail riding in the sand, or just wide open dunes. I leave all my toys in Oregon and that is pretty much the only place I ride any more.
