Nice!!! That should make for some good videos. And I was expecting a photo of you in a black lacy bra...

That is a badass pic.. I have not had much luck uploading cell pics lately, but I will give it a shot. Even if they are crappy cell pics. We ended up at the dry lake bed... Pretty fun. Kinda like being at Dumont on steriods.. Well I had a couple better ones that apparently are too big?

Hard to believe that this is so close to Vegas! 15 mins my front door to trail head.. ended my hike at 1:00 in the afternoon and it was 76 degrees.. 15 mins later in the driveway of the house 96 degrees.. What a beautiful way to start the day!

This one is good for those hotter trips, you know the ones early October and you just can't stand to not go anymore or late in the season, but you just don't quite want to give up yet.... but don't really want a hot meal or to cook. I would make this one ahead of time, night before. Its quick and simple. Thaw the shrimp, under running water and drain. Cook the pasta as the package instructs. Puree half of the Bruschetta. As soon as the pasta cools, add all of the ingredients together, including the remaining Bruschetta. Chill at least one hour before serving. I added left over lightly grilled with olive oil asparagus from the night before and one med. diced bell pepper as well.. so again you can play with this one by adding stuff I served it with a banana/melon mix and it complimented it nicely

I must say I am not sure Mike said it was about $30. I need to get my own a$$ in gear and look.

That is an incredible story!! Nice job Randy for doing the right thing.

You just have to know the tricks, she is a bit temperamental. Yeah sometimes the kick start is a pain. I also need to order thesteering stablizer rebuild kit. I trust Mike would not get me something I couldn't use at coral he has never steered me wrong yet
-
No not yet. Jill and Charlie did end up finding it though. But Mike ordered me a K&N air filter for my birthday (he gets me the best birthday presents ever ) and some jets. I have to take the paddles off tonight, so I can test it around the hood.

Looking forward to my road trip to test out the new to me (thank you Terry) truck bed tent I picked up so I can still dune if Mike is in China. Headed to Hualapia Mountian County Park out of Kingman,AZ with the pups for some hiking and relaxing. Going to check out thier ATV trails\campground, while I am there, see if the hauler will fit for potential dirt trails a couple hours away. http://www.mcparks.com/hualapai_mt_park.htm

Memorial Weekend Trip report
sand chick replied to Adam @ GTP Off Road's topic in Coral Pink Sand Dunes
Ahhh yes a great fun and relaxing weekend indeed. Meadows was the fullest that I personally had ever seen. Like Adam said it was pretty full on Thurs evening when we rolled in, but we did get the spot that we wanted, by Friday evening it was super full. Guess we will have to do random, off weekends like we usually do and stay away from the holiday weekends at Coral too.. I believe we are still thinking Labor Day, if Mike is home and not working in China though. Becky, Jill and Charlie all rolled in Friday, so we had ourselves a nice little group. Great rides on Friday. Mike had his issues, so I showed Adam my favorite spot at Coral.. all the way at the East end with the great panoramic view. Then took the trail back that skirted the dunes and the fence line.. dunes have def moved, as part of that trail is now covered by dune and you had to side hill to get around, soon that trail will be gone. Headed back to camp, Becky was already there and no Mike.. Adam and I were just getting ready to say 10 more minutes and lets go Mike hunting, when he rolled into the meadow. We kicked back for awhile, then went on a run with Becky leading while she broke in her new motor. By the time we got back, Mike had solved his problem We then waited for Jill and Charlie to roll in before heading to the ranger station for ice and maps to the Dinosaur Tracks http://www.blm.gov/u...track_site.html Two minutes.. literally into the ride, we hit the first step dune heading out to the dune area, didn't get a good run, sand blasted at the top.. quad lost all power and dies.. I was leaning nicely forward, but anytime I tried to move the front would lift.. most of you all know I HATE HEIGHTS!!!! So between that and the fear of rolling, I was pretty much frozen. All I could do was hang on to the brake with one hand, leaning over the handle bars and holding the bumper with the other.. I was stuck about 2-3 feet from the top. Now that 20-30 foot dune looked about 100 feet down from my angle and perdicament and it seemed like 30 mins before the guys came back. Went back on Sunday morning, just so I could hit it again and remove the fear, kinda laughed at myself when I looked at it again, went up, jumped it a bit at the top and stopped to take some pics. Back to camp, dirt tires on and the adventure begins to find the Dinosaur Tracks. Hit the one way trail on the way, Sunday was reserved for exploring new areas and we were in NO hurry. Lunches packed and drinks loaded in Mike's new cooler bag in the back of the RzR. Made it to the track site and began the hunt for the tracks, mission Find Dino Tracks, successful!!! We found them all and wandered around looking for more, back to the Rzr's for some lunch and visiting with others that had arrived to do the same thing and also some geocaching. Kept offering my site map to a couple of them, so they knew what to look for and they kept saying oh no we got a map thanks though.. apparently he forgot his map and one of the couples came back to get it. the tracks are kind of difficult to find without the site map and some visual aides. So I played a little tour guide and gave them my site map and took them to the first track. Off we go to do some more exploring, found some cool rocks to drive on, similar to the track area, went up a little trail, got a little high centered, pushed off and continued on our way. Went across the road from the track site up trail 31 until you really could not go any further, we ended up at the base of one of the platues that you can see across the road. Pretty nice scenary and a totally differant change of pace. Now we understand why some people always hit the trails and why even though the meadows were pretty full, we still barely ran across anyone in the dune and dune trail area. Back to camp for visiting and telling of our adventure and relaxing around the fire, which had been kept going all day, just to take the chill off. For some it was nap and resting time, but me and Becky and her littlen went out to photograph some of the dead trees, that seem to catch both our attentions on this trip. It was nice to be able to meander and stop and take some scenic pics whenever we saw something that looked interesting Back to camp for ribeyes and campfire and conversations. We were all done riding for the weekend. Time to reflect on the great weekend and just enjoy the company. We didn't even ride today, breakfast and pack up and hit the road home. Saturday I blew my rear end errr tail pipe out ( I love our conversations with Jill and Charlie) quick fix, so we thought, and back out, lost it all over again, but Jill and Charlie found all the pieces on Sunday. However bike ran soooo much better without the tip and baffle, kicked easier, had more pep.. hmmmm.... As for Adam and the wind..... welllllllll.... What the flags looked like while Adam was at Coral Pink... AND what they looked like after he left on Saturday evening and the rest of the weekend.. You be the judge... Just messing with ya More pics to follow.. I found my camera in black and white mode alot.. trying to get something different then the same ole same ole. -
