The stunt that inspired The Mint 400: Two dune buggies traveling off road from Las Vegas to Lake Tahoe, September 1967 Thank you Steve!

Four young men in two dune buggies took the 577-mile off-road trek as a promotional stunt for Del Webb Corp hotels The Mint and the Sahara Lake Tahoe. 

 The drivers set out from Las Vegas on September 7, 1967, and completed the route in 99 hours, 22 minutes.

The following Spring ‘68, Del Webb Corp expanded the desert race into the competitive, The Mint 400, which has continued ever since.

The Las Vegas group made their own roads as they went along, cutting wildly over the 600-foot dunes in the Armagosa Valley, pushing through streams and over desert flats and, finally, up the precipitous Sierra foothills to the shore of Lake Tahoe.

Carcross Desert, (just sand dunes) is about one square mile, and is the closest thing Canada has to a desert

The sand dunes were left by a glacial lake thousands of years ago, and the strong winds from nearby Bennett Lake continue to supply the area with sand today. The dunes are enjoyed by both locals and visitors, who hike up them, sandboard down them, and explore them on ATVs and with off-road scenic tours.

Sport lovers descend on the sands every weekend, creating a multi-purpose adventure playground. In summer, exposed dunes are used by quad bikers, hikers and sand-boarders, and as soon as enough snow falls, the desert is reclaimed by ski-tourers, tobogganers, snowshoers and snowboarders.

Potential dune erosion from those activities prompted the government to seek out environmental protection for the "desert" back in 1992, but that measure failed due to pushback from community members.

Human activity is good for the Carcross Desert, as dune fields in the territory need such disturbances to help fight off encroaching boreal forest. Natural disturbances come in the form of strong winds or fires, but nowadays, human recreation is also a large contributor. A concrete example is when ski trails were put into the Carcross Desert, as that broke lichen crusts and reactivated the dunes, says Bruce Bennett, who acts as conservation data centre coordinator with the Yukon government.

Wow, some collector just liquidated a collection of about 100 Honda 3 wheelers, and one of the units, an 86 ATC250r, is STILL in the box, and instantly got a 200 thousand dollar offer!

probably nothing more than 70s goofy eye candy, as any atv now cam likely out do this in anyway possible, but the simple 6 wheel goofyness, is what a lot of people want in a toy for their grand kids to play with on the farm, or in the forest

that's not camo, that's a lot of mud

a new design of steering and front wheel suspension by Can Am

"With the upper ball joint above the wheel, it gives more flexibility than a conventional suspension design to achieve the desired steering geometry," Can-Am said.

 "Minimized spindle length, scrub radius, and kingpin angle provide effortless, predictable, point-and-shoot steering and reduced kickback in rough terrain."
