Right now we are planing on going to Killpecker for the 4th. It's about twice the drive but the dunes are ten  times bigger and a lot more fun.

We're headed to Walden tomorrow for a day trip.

We were out there last weekend camped right off 31. We usually go in off 225 but almost got stuck trying to get the toy hauler out memorial day weekend. You should go to walden instead, its only a 3 hour longer drive. :thumbs:

We've tented it there a couple times, it can get really windy but the fresh sand the next day makes it worth it.

We will probably end up there on the 4th.  We talked a little about maybe KP or Lake Seminoe also.  Just got back from Walden for the weekend, the climbing is still killer and most of deadman is still a wall.

Are going to just stay in the sand or ride it all? What kinda plans do you have as far as dates, where/how to stay, and so on? Can one get an ORV sticker there?

+1 GIR

Walden is more Tree shoot hill climbs (awesome) than dunes. It's a two day trip max, then your ready to go.  We camp out in the trees.

I was just up at Walden Saturday... The bugs SUCK but hopefully they'll find some where else to be in a couple weeks.  Riding was ok and people are still working on breaking down deadmans.  Not a bad time.  Had my pipes tested and I'm at 99 dbl.   :( I think over 90% of the people they tested were above the new limits.  (Although banshee's were passing because the RPM they were testing them at was below their powerband.   :mad:stupid if you ask me...)
Be happy with the 99db, my Predator came in at 106! :(

Hell yeah it was great to see all you guys out there.  The rain sure sucked on Saturday, but atleast it cleared up a bit this morning.


Troy- you the man, we need to hit the trails up in taryall :thumbs:

Michelle- Great to see ya girl, glad you made it up

Kiel- always great to see you climb those walls on the banshees (and congrats again on getting married)

All in all a great weekend, lots of rain, but still fun.

Now you suckas gotta come to Little Sahara in Oct. with us :nod:

Post by: Lady4Fiddy on July 06, 2009, 08:20:50 AM
GIR it was great to finally meet you, I only wish we could have hung out more, we could never find you when we were out riding. Hopefully next time we meet up there won't be problems with my quad and we can chat more.

Troy it was great to meet you too, and Nice freakin bike man!!! And thank GERD for your friend with the extra set of tires!

Kiel it was great to meet you too, I know we only got to say hi, then I had to make a few guys look bad by climbing that hill. It had to be done though, no body sprays me with sand.  :nod:

With all the rain and cold weather, it was still a great time! My quad ran great and I love the set up, so I got to push myself farther. Thanks to Aaron I have a great quad. :kiss:

Great news!  I found my liver hiding under the bed of the camper this morning.  It got way too drunk out this weekend.  I will no longer try to out party my 50 year old buddy, lol.  I called him out Thursday night and we drank until about 4:30, then Friday night we did it again, I went to bed at about 5:00 completely hammered and he made it until 6:00.  We had a couple of guys in the group passed out by the fire all night.  Saturday was pretty mellow, recoup day for the most part.  I'm too old for this shit but I bet I keep doing it, lol.

We need to plan a weekend where ever and do some riding and drinking.  I don't care if it's in the sand or in the mountains.  I'm actually wanting to go ride some RZR's and utes sometime soon, with all the rain happening lately we should take advantage of the mud and the trails soon.
Title: Re: Walden 4th of July Weekend

for sure! we had my wifes s-model up there sunday, gets down pretty good for stock. im going to get the banshee painted up this week, watch the fights this weekend, but will most likely head back up the weekend after this one.
Title: Re: Walden 4th of July Weekend
Post by: Troy on July 06, 2009, 11:41:21 AM
We'll have to see if we can make it up, I need a serious tune and a little maintanence on the quad and an oil change on the RZR and life should be good.  I need to get off my ass and get back after turbo charging the RZR, which reminds me, do you have Andy's number?  He was talking about getting rid of my old turbo sled and I'd kinda like to put that motor in the RZR again.  Now that I don't own it anymore it doesn't seem like such a shame to part it out and slap it in the RZR.  That would net about 120 more horsepower than a turbo charged RZR motor.
Title: Re: Walden 4th of July Weekend
Post by: Colorado700R on July 06, 2009, 01:14:59 PM
Nioce, that would be a bad ass RZR

And, as for drinking till commatose...Some one left my Truck stereo on saturday nite becuase of a similar debacle.... :clap:


One of your camping buddys had to give me a jump start 30 minutes after you left Troy :lol:
Title: Re: Walden 4th of July Weekend
Post by: Troy on July 06, 2009, 02:03:16 PM
LOL, I had to jump my truck to hook up and leave for the same reason.  Thanks for Andy's number Kiel, I think I've got a deal worked out for my turbo sled back, now it's time to get mama's purple RZR in the 200 horsepower range :clap:

You should have seen this dude on the LTR Shawn :rofl:

Nikki pwned his ass twice :nod:

Picture if you will......

06 LTR doing boring ass hill climbs.....

Aaron blasts up a diffrent, much harder line...

LTR guy looks at my line, then backs away (insert clucking sounds here)

Nikki runs a nice shoot on her YFZ right infront of said LTR turd....

Mr. Machisimo LTR (Full mx gear with a bandana vice a helmet) decides if Nikki can do it, he surly can...

LTR rolls side ways down hill... :lol:

Mr Machismo LTR is really ticked now, and follows nikki to the next, even harder tree shoot

Nikki zooms up the shoot no problem (Shoulda wheelied though just to piss him off more :nod:  )

Mr Machismo LTR  gets a huge run at the same hill...

LTR rolls down hill :rofl:

We and all of Mr. Machismo's friends laugh at him.

:rofl:

EPIC DOUBLE FAIL INFRONT OF FRIENDS ZUKI BOY!!!!!!

Too bad you guys had bad weather at Walden. Killpecker was pretty good with only scattered showers in the afternoon. We got some great riding in. We're headed back there for labor day.

My ltr will be retired as a racer after the peak, if you want to see what one is capable of just let me know. :thumbs:

LOL, it wasn't that LTR for sure, Rich didn't even fire it up, he that one, his DS 450, his TWO Honda 450's, his TWO yfz 450's and it was just him almost all weekend.  His kid came up and rode one day on one of the yfz's, the rest of the bikes just sat there while rich rode his new STOCK Honda 450 all weekend.  I will get out and ride with ya Shawn as soon as possible.
