I'm slow to getting these on here.... but they are from October 20 when I met up with boneidaho and we rode the dunes. The pictures don't really do justice to the dunes. You can find every type of riding out there from large bowls to hill climbs that are 400 feet straight up. We had bodeidaho's 200x, my brothers 82 250R, my 85 250R, my 85 350X and a banshee out there. Would be great to do it again with more riders.

Big thanks to OldSchoolin86 for sizing the pictures for me. Guess figuring out how to do that on my own will be my winter project. Then I can add some more of the dune pictures.

Those pictures look good. That was a fun afternoon. MT350X is right. These dunes are practicaly straight up , and go on forever ! I had a sorta hard time getting my 200X up to where these pictures are taken. And we are not at the highest point either !! Hard to believe the temperatures were in the 70's that day, cause winter has set in up there now. I've been snowmobiling already east of there 20 miles on the abandoned Union Pacific Railroad trail that I've mentioned called "The Overland Route". This 3 wheeler ride was Sept. 20, and I went snowmobiling Nov. 13th. The quick change of the season's around here. :shock:

Ive been to St Anthony's twice. It is a twelve hour drive from Seattle, but Ill be back. They are the biggest dunes I have ever ridden. Is the second pic (the one with the ridge going up the dune) Thunder Mt?

On the third picture, that is me :bounce and I am just over a quarter a mile away from MT350X who is taking this picture. To the right of me is his brother who is probably another 3 quarters of a mile from me, therefor a mile at least, maybe more from MT350X. These dunes are massive :shock: , extremly high :shock: , and very challenging to climb-ride :shock: . We have more here than potatoes ya know. :D Not sure about Thunder Mt., MT350X may know though. We are toward's the west end of the dunes. :D

It's not thunder behind us in the picture. We rode from Egin Lake Access west to Chokecherry that day. The picture was taken on top of Chokecherry. The eastern portion of the dunes has smaller rolling hills and to the west it goes up to 600 ft. high dunes..... a challenge for every type rider. They are about 35 miles long and 5 miles wide.

Opps, I ment to ask if the first pic was thunder, not the second.

I have spend a week in may at those dunes the last two years. Except for the snowstorm this year it has been great.
