If nothing else gives you quite the thrill of riding your ATV in the sand, then you ought to check out the Yuma Duners. This group is devoted to preserving ATVer's rights to ride established trails.
Currently, the club is participating with the American Sand Association to regain the right to ride in areas that have temporarily been designated off limits. A local plant known as Pierson's milk vetch was believed to be endangered, leading to it's listing a threatened species. However, a scientific survey is about to get underway to determine if this is really the case and if the affected sand ATV trails may safely be reopened.
The next event on the Yuma Duners list is the Annual Martin Luther King Weekend Cleanup. This event is more than just a cleanup, it's an entertaining and fun way to spend time with your ATVing pals. There will be prizes raffled off to participants and a free lunch on this January 14th event.
The Yuma Duners love to have fun, but they also have a healthy respect for safety practices while riding the sandy ATV trails. Most important, always stay with your group and never ride your ATV alone. It's too easy to stop and not be seen by the next group coming up the dunes until it's too late. An ATV collision is a quick way to ruin a perfectly nice trail ride.
