good, bad & ugly at Oregon Dunes

Went out with a group from the NWFJCC for a couple of days on the Oregon Dunes

Day 1 on the Dunes - Turned into an axle field repair pictures and story.

Day 2 on the Dunes - Big sand, lots of fun in the dunes and beach

Day 2 night run - story and bonus pictures. The weather turned ugly.

Great pics. I love the axle repair pic using the jack base that still has the cardboard on it--planning on returning it? Nice write ups too...

I used to build Baja Bugs to run down there...Great times. Need to get down there with my truck sometime.

Not sure where we came out... it was black and pouring down rain and we found a non-official out the came down a 50 yard long hill at a 15 degree incline just wide enough for our rigs... Dropped us into some side street that got us back to the highway.

That's the only thing I love about field repair, it seperates the men from the boys...

Great pictures!
