That's kinda how our trip went, my buddys EX broke a clutch cable and the Raptor in the group broke the carb slide tryin to adjust his needles, the Dale was trouble free. Haha so much for unreliable!!
What was funny is the entire way down there everyone kept sayin how I was gonna be the only Dale there, and as soon as we pulled into camp, there sat one!! It was a nice Dale too. Didn't get a chance to talk to him though.
For the midwest guys Little Sahara is about as good as it gets for dunes; unless your willing to drive 24 hrs. I have been there once and it was a blast. I may try to make a trip out there next year.
2000 mile round trip for me to OK. 2600 mile round trip to St Anthonies(baddest dunes in the hemishere) Its hard to convince the guys to go anywhere else. Do you have any vids/pics that could help convince them otherwise? Id be willing to give it a try .
