where are those kind of dunes?

These dunes are located about 20 miles west of Yuma, AZ into California, and they run about 12 miles wide, and 35 miles north... nice big area to play. =)

They are called the Imperial Sand Dunes, better known as "Glamis", but to geologists, they are known as the Algodones Sand Dunes.

This link tells how they were created

Here is a map of their location.

I've got about $70k into mine... but I did alot of the work myself..

- Built the engine myself.
- Installed all the wiring.
- Setup the computer on the engine.
- Installed all the electronics (dash, GPS, etc..)

You can buy one turn key from a less well known builder for around $60k, mine is Tatum, which is one of the top 3 in industry.

Big V8 turn keys from the top 3, run from 85-$150k+.

There is even one out here that has a Viper V10 in it...

I will be here till Sunday mid morning.

I am staying behind the Glamis beach store, in a private fenced in area.

Go past the beach store on 78, turn rigt, head towards the cell phone tower.

You will see a large fenced in area on your right, with a main gain about half way down.

You will see a red Ram 3500, pulling a large Fuzion fifth wheel on your right when you go through the gate, thats me.
