Bra Tree

You never know what you will see in the desert. On our way to Box Canyon, we passed the extremely rare "Bra Tree". Apparently, last night's rain caused it to bust out (pun intended) in full foliage...

I tried to get Lyn to add to the collection, but she was not having any part of it.

I've Been Everywhere

While looking at some old home videos, I came across one from my biker days...

Getting Lucky

Free Election Scam

Thomas Sowell does an outstanding job of describing "Everything Wrong with Our 'Democratic' Election System Today"...

This image reminds me of the times I drank water from a garden hose as a kid...

Drenching Rain

After a long period of drought, we are currently experiencing a heavy, drenching rain this evening...

We even got a rainbow to celebrate the much needed rain...

I took an OHV ride with my neighbors to Box Canyon via several ridges with 360 degree views of the surrounding area. I had intended to make a drone video of us going through the canyon, but high winds kept me grounded. Here's a video of Lance going down a very steep and gnarly slope...

RZR Pro R Factory

Just when I think side-by-side OHVs are beginning to be priced like a Jeep Rubicon, Polaris introduces their RZR Pro R Factory which has a suggested MSRP of $139,999...

One Year Clean

 Until I ran into my dealer...

Birthday Party

I attended a birthday party this evening for several of my neighbors. Bill turned 89 (does not looks a day over 88). Rene turned 75 (that's in Canadian years) and Missy hit the big 57 (barely legal in a 55+ park)...

Bill, Missy, Rene

The sad part of the event was realizing that I am one of the park's oldest residents. 😟

Drought

We have not had any significant rain in almost five months. As a result the trails are covered with several inches of dust. Riders come back into the park looking like racoons. Hopefully, we have a lot of ground water as the ATV wash is being heavily used...
