Late season Desert ride


After watching softball games on Saturday, I packed up a 40oex quad, and met up with my buddies out at Superstition Mtn. Eric and Dave brought there daughters,and even 3yr old Jacob. There was a Razor (Eric), the Rhino (Dave), 4 adults on quads (Rope, Rick, Eric, Denny) and two 13yr old girls on quads. We did two night runs and a morninngb run. The first night run was fun, we roamed, and snaked through miles of sand dunes testing our skills trying to climb steep hills with soft sand, Tough. Navigation in the night was made easy with Eric C. leading, and his GPS mapping the way home. Plus our lights, and his experiance in the desert also helped.
Daves rhino had a mechanical issue. the Wheel came off the back. The lug nuts had loosened up, and the wheel came off we spent about an hour ( getting tools, resetting the lug bolts, and stealing a lug nut from each wheel. then we were on our way. The next run lasted until 1am. I slept in the bed of my truck on a futon pad with just a sheet covering me. My dog kept watch sleeping on the rug on the ground.
After the morning run, I headed out and made it back in time to watch 'S' game. she saw some pitching time.. 2 batters, and closed the game out for a win.
