New....Hmm. The Camp ground was expanded 2 years ago. It offers a few more spots, and upgraded the existing spots. Since the turn of the economy, I haven't seen the campground completely full, even on a Holiday weekend. They paved half of the day use parking area, and repaved the main road in. There...

theboofooguy

Nope. He works in I.F. for as a Contractor to the Site. It's tough out there (economy) as I'm sure you know. Had he started the business, I'm sure he'd be having a tough time keeping it afloat. I'll be lookin for ya..

When Scott first moved here, he took a year off and didn't work. He's since gone back to work, and has also discovered some of the other things to do in Idaho. He and his wife spend a lot of time on two wheelers, so he hasn't been out to the dunes. I haven't spoken with him in about a year. I miss r...

https://www.hi-jumper.com/ContactUs.aspx This is the link to the website. My computer doesn't like it, and it always flags it for having a "certificate error".

The site's still up, so I assume they're still doing business. Good luck.

If you wanna see S.A. at it's best. Log onto http://www.duneratt.com. He's got some great pic's on there.

We're still here and doing our thing. The dunes are uncharacteristically soft this year. The winds blew in akward directions, making for alot more areas with sharp, soft, blow over. Unlike Dumont, there are still rolls at the top, but transitioning from one dune to another on the quads sometimes wan...

Just a quck note to those who like to come to St. Anthony's and would like to see the BLM campground enlarged. The BLM RAMP has set aside some money for the purpose of adding approximately 20 campsites with electricity to the BLM campground at Egins, as well as pave the day use area. However, number...

theboofooguy

Glad to see that you made it back in one piece. I enjoyed meeting you and your family. I hope you're able to make it up this way again and we can can do some more duning.

Take Care

3 things to consider. :? How much will the car ultimately weigh? What size tires are you planning on running? Will you get this car airborne? The torque of a V8 is what will cause the demise of this trans...Big tires will speed up the process... Make sure the ring and pinion are tire size appropriat...

Contrary to what most think of Idaho, I'm in a community with CC&Rs, and I doubt my neighbors would be too fond of me opening a campground. :? I can park a few trailers, and you are welcome to get water, use the welder, torch, or compressor for your needs. However, over night camping would be out of...

theboofooguy

I'm in Rigby, and I sit on an acre and a half. Rigby is about 20 minutes from St. Anthonys...You are more than welcome to leave it here. You can lock it up, and I'll keep a close eye on it. And for ASA members, there would be NO charge...

...Lemme know....

David...

theboofooguy

Keep me in the loop on your plans, and I can take a drive and let you know what conditions are like. Shoot for late April...better chance of better weather.

theboofooguy

That's why I moved to Idaho...

theboofooguy

When you say 15 - 20 people, how many rigs are you talking, and what type. Can you do a little off road camping? Meaning, can you dry camp, and get your rigs down a washboard sand/dirt road? I know a little "local" spot. Other than that, I'd say go to Oasis, and see for yourself if it's as bad as th...

theboofooguy

I'm glad you had a nice stay. I'm local, and probably spend 8-10 days a month, out in the dunes. I meet alot of people from different states, and they always talk about their accomodations. 4 out of 5 who stay at Oasis, say they did because of it's proximity to the dunes. 3 of those 4 say they will ...

theboofooguy

No Problem..

theboofooguy

Got back a little while ago....Dunes are SWEET right now. OK, here are your choices. Sand Hills Resort is far and away, the nicest place to stay. Full hookups, grass, trees, an on site store, reservations, the whole enchilada. But.....you know there's ALWAYS a catch, it is literally on one end of th...

theboofooguy

I wouldn't bother making the drive up until at least the middle of April. From Nov. 1st through April 1st, half (the better half) of the dunes are closed for Elk migration. Also, it'll still be plenty cold, and alot of the dune may still have snow on them. The BLM campground usually opens about the ...

theboofooguy

When you say front brakes on the Banshee, what ALL exactly does that entail? I'm looking for hubs, rotors, calipers, brake lines, perch, and lever. Lemme know..

theboofooguy

I'm 20 minutes from St. Anthony's, and I'll keep an eye out for it. I think it would be a good idea to post it on http://www.duneratt.com. The local dune community is pretty tight here, and communicate through this website. It would definately get alot of eyes out there. Good luck, I hope you recove...

theboofooguy

Good.....stay home...

theboofooguy

So.....what's a break-in going for these days??

theboofooguy

When I left for work yesterday morning, it was 3.

We had a high of 22.

Honestly though, I remember nights in California that were 30 degrees and it seemed colder. I think it's the humidity. Still would NEVER go back.

theboofooguy

Thanks Lobuck!

Ok, I have seen your rig.. And yes I do know Jared.. He hangs with Brian, and I ride quite a bit with Brian and Scott (Newbanks). Scott is up in the Hills of IF..Rimrock Estates. SAnDR is a new group...St. Anthony's Dune Riders. We promote responsible use of public lands, in this case the dunes. Den...

theboofooguy

Krazytoy, Where you at and who have you been duning with? Are you posting on Duneratt? Are you a member of SAnDR? We've put together a nice little network here mixed with transplants and locals. I'm in Rigby, and go out usually twice a week. Gimme a yell when you get a chance...

theboofooguy

That answers my question.. Would you like me to send you the pictures of the Raptor to your personal E-mail ? Is the trailer in San Pedro?

theboofooguy

How heavy is the trailer with water, propane etc? I'll take some pictures of the Raptor and post them over the weekend.

theboofooguy

I've got it covered in the garage, I'll need to pull it out and take pictures...No, I hadn't much thought of selling it, until I saw the trailer. Yes, it runs VERY well. There were three Raptors in our group in California, and it ran the strongest..Has the airbox eliminator kit, Front Sand Stars, an...

theboofooguy

Yes sir, it's black, has reverse, electric start, and has a GYTR slip on Carbon Fiber Pipe. I jetted it while I was living in California. I'm in Idaho now, 20 minutes from St. Anthony's, and find I'm either in the rail or on my Zilla. The wife has a YFZ, so it's just taking up space in my garage.

theboofooguy

Are you interested in a trade? I'm thinking of an '02 Raptor..Lemme know...

theboofooguy

Rexburg Motorsports is right off the freeway as you aproach St. Anthony's. As far as jetting goes, dropping your main jet about three increments will put you where you need to be. There are other dealers in Idaho Falls, they're just a little farther off the beaten path. Good Luck.. :wink: For info o...

theboofooguy

Hey Mr. Pring,

When you coming up to Idaho? Saw your post. Did anyone from the group make it to Coral Pink with you? Just thought I'd say Hi... Give Sandy my best...

Hey Roger, If leaving the rig here will help get you more dune time, then by all means... I'm pretty sure Rich was talking about the garage to store his stuff so he can use his trailer. Parking a trailer here is even easier.. My Dad would never believe it in a million years.....He still insists he's...

theboofooguy

Hey Rich, I live in Rigby, Idaho...."bout 20 minutes fron the dunes. I'm on an acre and a half, and for fellow ASA members, I'd be more than happy to store your stuff. I even have an Attack Siberian Husky to watch over everything..lol..From my house, Yellowstone is 90 miles, and about the same to Ja...

theboofooguy

We're here.....Our season just started, so most of the time we're in the dunes...Scott and I are making it out 'bout twice a week...Weather has warmed up, and we get afternoon winds that make every day a new ride with virgin dunes.... Snow and rain had left them fairly packed so now with the warmer ...

theboofooguy

Have you sold it yet?

theboofooguy

I've been goin to Glamis since '68....Anyone remember 9 Grand Hill? Anyway, I moved to Idaho......the only way I know to be able to dune in peace without all the drunken idiots....

theboofooguy

:D Hello all, and Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year. Just got off the phone with a buddy from our old group. Glamis has gotten soo bad in the last few years, that we, for 'bout the last six year have been going to Buttercup for New Years. They arrived at 10 am on Wednesday morning to find that all...

theboofooguy

That's the game plan....I figure after work rides wont be out of the question. I'll go occassionally on the weekends to see the hot rods, and race the rail...But with Disneyland in my backyard, I wont be doing any camping...

theboofooguy

Sorry,...Sand Hills usually fills up fast over the summer. Reservations are a must on weekends, and stays over 4 days. The BLM campground is still relatively new, so alot of people don't even know it's there...

theboofooguy

Sorry, Yes, my Dad always says that... :lol: And yes, there is a BLM campground with full hook-ups, and next to it is a day use area. It even has a ramp to unload quads from a pickup! The day use area, and the BLM campground are right at the base of the Big Bowl. From Sand Hills it is about a 20 min...

theboofooguy

I'm with you Roger..... BTW...I live literally 15 minutes from the dunes. I will be on an acre and a half, (house will be done in May) Should any fellow duners need a place to leave your trailer, or something welded while your here, consider my door open....If we don't help each other, who will? San...

I didn't mean to offend anyone.....In the future I'll E-mail direct....

theboofooguy

Still looking for a wrench with experience in either Idaho or Utah. Any Autocraft dealers or builders? Am I driving back to California, engine in tow? Any help would be appreciated...Thanks..

theboofooguy

Hey Roger... Doin good. The weather here has been cold....single digits at night, teens during the day, but it really is a different cold. I remember nights in Cali that were 50 degrees that seemed a lot colder than a 20 degree day here. Maybe it's the lack of humidity here. I had the oportinity to ...

theboofooguy

Hey Roger, Just a quick note to say I got your E-mail, and look forward to seeing you at St. Anthony's. I ran into Scott at Lowe's today....Can you believe it? We got a chance to exchange info and look forward to some dune time. Quick question... Do you know of anyone within driving distance of me.....

theboofooguy

Just a quick note. I'm a former So Cal boy who just moved to Idaho. I left with enough to buy a lot and build a house. I've been to St. Anthony's a couple of times this year. A better part of the dunes will be closed as of November 1st. Elk migration I'm told. Violators will be cited if caught. Also...
