Glamis trip Nov 21/22

The first big trip of the year, is in the books. The Ratza Family loaded up what we had, and met up with our friends in Glamis. GLamis is a huge Sand Dune area. We had the quad (Honda TRX400ex) and Two bikes (the Crf250) and ( Crf450) I talked Kim into going, and The stipulation was that we don't actually camp, but that we go to a nearby(25 miles) Hotel. The riding was good, 'A' got a chance to learn her new bike. 'S' was familier with the quad, but hadn't rode it ina a while. She picked up where she left off, riding great. Kim stayed a camp a lot, but Went out on 2 rides, one in Dennys Buggy, and one on Carey's Razor. Nobody got hurt, and a few glitches here and there with the bikes. I will post some pictures, and some vidseo:
Hali got into the act:

Stick shift

We did our first dry run out to the desert. Included making sure all the bikes ran, checking new camping spots, making sure the trailer works ( which it showed a problem).
The trailer hitch lost the keeper pin, and the cotter pin that holds it in.
thank goodness for the safety chains.
The bikes ran great. So, 'S' tried her hand at driving a dune buggy. I had to ride in the passenger seat, so I could not get a good picture. This is a picture of 'S' driving the stick shift buggy. The buggy has the standard 4 speed 'H' shift pattern.
She learned to operate the clutch, and went through all the gears.
