Nov trip to Glamis

Brandon came out from Ohio for some fun. We headed out almost right away Sunday morning, and headed to GLamis Sand Dunes.
IT was very windy, but we got some riding in.
We spent the night in the Hotel about 25 miles away(thank God!) it was windy and everyone was covered in sand. The shower was very welcome.
The next day we rode a little, and headed back to San Diego. Once in San Diego, we rode the trolley to the stadium to watch the Chargers in Monday Night Football. Chargers beat The Broncos.
The next morning, we wnet back out to the desert, and took Kim and Sasha with us. 'A' drove her truck for the added room.
















The desert was beautiful, there was very few people, and Brandon was getting his first taste of the sand Dunes on a quad and even rode the motorcycle. He did very good on both.



























Took some pictures of Amber and her Truck in its psuedo-preferred enviroment:

Got a little bit of cold weather here in SD. We were coming back from the desert, and decided to scout my hunting spot. It was kinda cold (38deg) in the morning. When we stopped by it was 50, and there was some snow on the ground.
Brandon, myself and the girls walked out to where I took my buck, and looked for more sign of deer. There was some tracks, a lot of acorns, and I found the rub that may have belonged to my buck.

Success

After countless years of hunting in the Midwest, and only getting one deer ever, I finally bagged a buck! It wasn't in Ohio, or Michigan, but in San Diego. It was in the Laguna Mountains about 60 miles outside San Diego city. It was one of the happiest moments of my life, until I got home then the complaining started, oh well, it was fun while it lasted. When you shoot a California deer, get yourself a Mexican to help you gut, skin, and clean it. (sorry Robert):) My Buddy Robert lent me a gun, showed me places to hunt, and then drove 50 miles to help bring the kill in, and help skin and clean it. What a great friend!!! The antlers are mounted:
