Any Dune trips planned?

I was out at Ogilby Dec 28th to Jan 1st and it was great. You have access to the newly opened area and it is tough to find tracked up sand. We had virgin dunes the whole trip except right near Patton. Had a great time. Just wish I could go more often.

I guess I'll let the secret out to my closest friends here. It is freaking awesome. I'm a quad guy who likes the deeper Washes and China because it's less crowded out there than the north end. The new area suits me perfectly. The day after Thanksgiving we rode from Wash 18 to China, The Wall, down to Patton Valley. We didn't see ANYONE from China to Patton Valley. The dunes were virgin most of the way. Maybe it's just too soon for folks to filter down there, but I truly believe most folks won't spend much time there. Your average folks want to go to Olds and stay near civilization. It's remote down there and I love it. I'm so stoked I extended my upcoming New Years trip to 8 days.

That's awesome. We use to camp over off of Ogilby Rd. It was nice before the closure, then got busy during. Maybe it will quiet down again. Sounds promising though.

Thanks. That is impressive and a big win for off-roaders.

Now if we can only get Pismo opened back up to what it was when I was a kid.

Here is the link to the new map. Here is a link to an old map.

Anybody have a link to a map that shows the area that opened up?
