Dunatic's Home Page
Flashy Bar

 Welcome to our Home Page.  This site is dedicated to our favorite past time which is riding on the dunes at Silver Lake, Michigan.  

Dunatic?  What does it mean?  Rhymes with lunatic and yes, we are "crazy" about the dunes at Silver Lake. It holds many happy memories for us, like: our wedding on the dunes, the many friends we've made and the fun we now share there with our entire family.

We own two dune vehicles our sandrail "Time Bomb" and our '67 VW Bug "Bugly."  Also you can read more about our friend's and their machines, past buggies we've owned, our wedding on the dunes and you can check out the Silver Lake, Michigan area (off Lake Michigan) and some of our favorite websites.

Details of our '67 VW Baja Bug
Flying in Bugly
is a1967 convertible VW Baja bug.  We purchased it as a Baja Bug, but always wanted to fix it up.  Several years later, we modified it so we could use it better to go two-trackin' or out on the dunes.  You can check out information on how it was built and who helped (Dan Baudoux, Larry Woods).  See featured article in Hot VW's magazine for more details.  Our Bugly Baja was featured in the December 2000 issue of Hot VW Magazine (their Baja Special) on page 66 - check out those magazines for details!
