Another new find I have been wanting to have the oportunity to ride the trails I have seen from the I10 highway. I have seen many times going back and forth to Cali. This place is alot of fun, with plenty of 14 day camping spots, mine roads that allow WOT (Wide Open Throttle) runs and even some atv goat trails to test your climping skills. these were the most exciting in the ody because you really didn't know what was on the other sde of the hill... Its diferent being so ow to the ground and strapped in... Not like you can Stand on the pegs and peek over??? I found one goat trail that flat out deadended and I had to back up and turn around... How these guys get away with out a reverse is beyond me??? I wanted to go to this place that I was at on Thanksgiving http://pilotodyssey.com/PO/viewtopic.php?t=3728 but I am not sure of the fuel milage and would hate to have to walk...LOL I found a fun little 20 mile loop that is what I would expect at an off road race. (After viewing some of moskito's video of his riding spot north of phoenix. http://youtube.com/user/Class10Deztaz )
I noticed a new ball joint I just replaced was bent back as the last one was??? I quess chucklenuts at aftershot motorspurts kit just doesn't work with aftermarket wheels? I will try to find some 1x4 offset rims like the quads are using with there longtravel kits to keep the width legal in there classes??? I just hope the will fit over the balljoints? If not then I will have to hunt down a new pair of stock rims and figure out a way to beef the outer ring up so it won't bend... I am hoping for beadlock rims though, as I bend a small part of the rear rim also... I will have to do some more adjusting of the toe etc now with the bent ball joint the ody wants to pull to the right on pavement...
I can recommend this area highly for several reasons... It is close to a small town, there is a super 8 motel right at the entrance, fast food and several convinience stores. During the winter months the wifes can spend several days shopping all the vendors who sell anything/everything!!! It is like a HUGE fleamarket during these months... I ran off and lost my camera somewhere so I will not be able to post any pictures until the next time I am out here!!! Which will be soon!!!

That sounds like fun, when I was there last Halloween, they were beginning to set up a lot of booths and stalls for vendors. Maybe next time I'll try to make that a stopover.

Oh, on the awning, the seller put it on for a $80 buy it now as we had agreed, and before I got back to the computer, someone bought it, so you won't need to worry about it. Too bad, it was a great deal.

Dang the luck??? I always look at something like that as it just wasn't meant to be...

I had a blast again today, got a little sunburned on top of my legs... Might need to make a hood soon to stop that but the breeze up the shorts at 50 mph sure feels good What happened to out smiley face emoticons???
oh well it is a different type of riding than Sand duning and I enjoy them both... this is just a lot tougher on the equipment!!! I am planning on beadlocks before to long, although I have been happy with the way the .190 Douglas rims are working!!! Maybe I'll drop them off in PHX at ATVRacing to have them put beadlocks on them... After this week at Glamis, if I a kucky enough to make it. I am going to take my holeshot tires that I used today and mount them on the stock wheels I have to see what kind of feedback I get... The stock rims and sandtires in the front handled real well the other day at The Buttercup sand dunes!
Anyway if riding around mountains and taking in some Beautiful scenery is your thing this place is worth the stop!!!
