Me and some friends at Silver Lake sand dunes (videos)
Some friends and I went to the Silver Lake sand dunes near Mears, Michigan over Memorial Weekend. It was my first time doing anything offroad in my Jeep and I was suprised how well it did in the sand even with my 31" BFG All Terrains. All together we had a two sweet CJ's, two YJ's, my TJ, and a Durango. Anyhow, thought you guys might like to check out a couple videos from that weekend.

The first is a video of me and my TJ climbing "Test Hill". After I make it to the top, there's a couple pickup trucks and a quad that don't quite make it, and check out the dude on the dirt bike at the end jumping over the top of test hill.

The second video is a friend of mine playin around in his CJ and catching about 2-3 feet of air

Nice vid's. lol. Looks like a ton of fun, and for your first time going to the dunes, nice. Try out some other forms of terrain, mud, rocks, etc. It's a great thing to get into, just keep it legal: "tread lightly".

Looks like it was fun. How many acres is that area?
If you ever want to play on some big dunes let me know. The St. Anthony dunes here inj Idaho are the largest in N. America. Test hill, is the size of the smaller dunes. To give you an Idea of just how big they are, during UA 2006 (I was the trail leader for the dune run) it took nearly 8 hrs to go 3 air miles. They freaked when we started to get into the big dunes and wanted to stop. Any time y'all want to go let me know.

Are any of you Michigan Jeepers wheeling with a club? I've tried to hook up with a couple of them and got no response.
