I’ll be at work and then have a banquet but call me with any breakdowns or issues. I’m 30 minutes away. Wish I could come play. I’m curious how the new rear springs act

 

[Mike Dubya]

Thank you for offering to help- I hope we don't need it. Too bad you can't make it though!

 

[JL Lou]

I am out of town. I wish I could make it.

 

[PapaDave]

I hope it’s a fun trip, I’m installing my new full bumper for my tundra.

 

[Major Johnson]

We are down for the nuclear stop! Sent an invite to some new friends, will let you know if we get more coming. Thanks for the sand flag reminder!

Wish I could make it but have other plans for Saturday afternoon. I was out there last weekend and the sand was nice from the recent wind and rain, but there was a trail clean up out there with a lot of rigs so the sand was pretty tracked up by the end of the day. We've had a bit of wind and rain this week so maybe things have smoothed back out. For anyone that doesn't have or forgets their flag there is a gas station (Kahlotus Korners) 6.5 miles from the turn to the dunes that usually has them for sale.

I will have to skip this one. My month is filling up fast and I only have this weekend to get some very needed prep done to the Bronco. I have wanted to make it out to see the Hanford LIGO detector for some time. Great deep space nerd stuff!

Just rub it in Dave! More clearance? Winch?

I have an aftermarket stealth bumper with winch already. But now I’m going for more protection to protect the front end from animal strikes or trees on the trail. It is a full bumper similar to ARB but not that brand.

I just got mine from Speciality Recreation in CDA. Another person said a gas station near by the dunes has them.

 

[MrWilsonWJ]

Yes, there is a gas station at the intersection of Pasco Kahlotus Rd. and Highway 12 in Pasco that has them, about 6.5 miles from the turn off to the dunes. But assuming you are taking the Pasco Kahlotus rd. from Palouse Falls to the dunes you would have to drive past the turn off to get there and back track to the dunes. It's not all that far out of the way and might work if people need fuel before hitting the dunes. I farm right on the PK rd. so I drive by that gas station a few times everyday, I can swing in there today to confirm they have some (usually do but sometimes sold out) if anyone is thinking about getting one there.

Sorry for the late reminder- you will need a Washington State Discover pass Discover Pass, WA - Official Website | Official Website or pay the $10 fee to visit Palouse Falls. Juniper Dunes doesn't appear to require any kind of pass.
