on finding the phone.

Glad you found your phone Gary. My wife lost her iPhone 5 in the parking lot of cowboys dance hall about 2 weekends ago. A girl that works at clear channel communications in San Antonio found it , charged it and called me and and my daughter to return it. . She would not take any money from my wife. She said she just wanted a hug.

If only he knew his luck was this good prior to leaving LV he might have gambled more and paid for his entire trip!!

Well I thought I would add a few more pics, hopefully they aren't the same ones RMan already posted.

Here the 3 heroes, relax before the mighty undertaking:-


The next morning we had to pass Tech inspection, this had been a big worry for me as my bike does not have a USFD approved arrestor, it has a homemade from eBay spark arrestor and I had no idea how loud my exhaust was, so there where a few concerns if the bike would pass (I felt it was perfectly safe, but might not meed the 96db noise level. So we drove upto the tech inspection tent:-

They asked us to remove our gloves, they stamped our hands and sent us to join the other bikes for the ride:-



That was it!! All that worrying for nothing!! What a relief..

So here we have started:-


Here comes Meriden:-


Another of Meriden with Rman bringing up the rear:-


Meriden, checking if we really are lost or not!!


What dust??


The Desert is really beautiful, but after a while it gets to look the same!!


Lunch break, gas was $5 a gallon here!!


Thrasher and meriden, going again:-


Time for another rest!!


Another "which way did they go" moment!!


An amazing couple of days riding with some great guys and true friends.. You where never far from the trail, it could always be found by the trail of broken bike parts, groups of motorcyclists fixing a bike or the dust cloud!! Its a fun thing that everyone should try to do at least once..
