What's happening Mark ! From the campsite it's all paved right to the dunes....everyone with paddles look like they are riding horses all the way to the sand, it's way ruff on the body. Only in the meadows is it sand to the dunes. I don't use paddles (cause I dont have any) but I let the air out of the tires to 3lbs, and it does just fine in the sand. It isn't crowded there, like some of the pictures you see of Dumont....the campground is relativley small, so the dunes aren't packed with loads of people. The trails are pretty cool, and there is a "One Way" wash that I would guess to be about 3-4 miles long which will take you to a trail that will take you on a "3 Hour Tour", maybe a little less but Gilligans Island just popped into my head....

"BEWARE of this GROUP"......they take long breaks in the middle of trails !!!!!!

BAM ! First Tat ? Go ahead just dive in....Thats huge ! Nice work..I need new ink myself.

I've seen that truck too ! Just the other day....I think he cut me off.....Next accident waiting to happen ??? JK I would wave, but with my luck you'd probably think I was trying to pick you up.....

Thanks Mark ! You are probably right...the 23' footer used to scare the crap outta me when we first got it, now I can park that sucker between two quarters, and still have room. Practice, practice.... :dance: We're leaving this week ....and just found out the trailer hitch guy did'nt install the retainers for the leaf springs....and I was wondering why I was draggin a$$ . He's coming over tuesday night to fix'um. Do you have plans to leave this weekend too ? were goin to Coral Pink, I love it there. Thanks for the support....

Thanks ! we are JAZZED ! Anyway the rear ladder is compactable, and non removable...The 07 model had that ladder thet had to be taken off before driving. Now I am questioning it...dang it....I am pretty sure it stays on, but it folds and pulls away from the trailer. I had my first parking lesson today, squeezing this bad boy through a 10' gate opening......Vaseline anyone ????? About 10 minutes, and 30 adjustments and I was good to go.

When I first came to Las Vegas....huge culture shock, people that you hold the door open for at your local convenience store..just walk through, never acknowledging you. But what really pisses me off is when you have the courtesy to put your signal on to change lanes, you can drive a whole mile before someone will let you over...WTF ! Now I just put my big ole F 350 right in the way....see how they like that. I agree the people have left their heads in their a$$ 95% of the time.

"FROG STOMP" A Circus Farkas Adventure The trip starts off in the normal way, Dani and I are at each others throats for no reason other than "were trying like hell to get out of here". Now, I have threatend that I am done "I ain't goin !!".....Wrong ! Dani says I am going and there is nothing I can do about it. Meanwhile I realize my propane line keeps blowing off ....after a trip to home depot, and wal mart I turn up empty handed for the fix...My buddy, Not a real smart guy, surprises me with an ingenious idea....How about a zip strip for that propane hose Wow...I am thinking "where the hell did that come from ?", sounds good Gary lets try it.....Hey it works, lets roll.. off to Bryce Canyon for the first time, this is going to be exciting... About an hour and a half into the drive I notice my right tire on the trailer is a little low, we pull into Mesquite thinking this should be easy, find an air station, fill er up, and back on track.....Nah! You would think air would be an easy thing to find....In all of the six gas stations we stopped at , 1 (one) was intact....guess which one....the last one....Alright let's go. We finally arrive, pitch dark, unload and crash...but my buddy is having a hard time finding his spot...after the many circles he made....he finds it, down the hill, and way, way far away from us....Sorry gary, your on your own ! Next day, wow the weather is nice were ready to ride, we ride all day, it was beautiful.....we head down to the general store to pick up some "Fixin's" to make s'mores for the kids.....50 bucks later we are out. We get back to camp and we run short of fire wood....Oh Sh*t! what do we do.....Dani steals a half burnt log from the neighbors fire pit is what we do ! After the Log burns out, I ask the circus if they want to go on a little walk.....okay, we start down the hill when I notice a movement in the brush....whats that ! I go to see.....its a salamander....check it out "T"....the boys were so excited...."T" run back to camp and get the bucket....I catch this thing and put him in the bucket....this is cool huh...this is where it begins.....There are hundreds of these things...everywhere....my bucket is loaded with at least 23 of them....the boys have just gone apesh*t. At this point I think "T" is about done with catching these guys.....we come up on a frog, I squat down and start pointing it out to the boys....look "T", Jay'd...look at this frog....and from outta nowhere...."STOMP", "T" has a feild day on this frog.....I scream (Mind you it's about 11:00 at night), Skylar shrieks with fear, Dani yells at "T" and Jaydin is in a state of shock.....what the h*ll "T" ! These aren't cochroaches....they are frogs...."T" says he just wanted to......oh my god ! I am going to let this one slide, lets move on. Up the trail a little, we find another salamander...Jaydin picks it up and puts it on the ground again.......WHAM ! I scream, Skylar shrieks with fear, Dani yells at "T" and Jaydin is once again shocked by the actions of "Little Satan Himself".....this time he didn't kill the damn thing...he mamed it, squooshing one whole side to the thing.....I am hoping these creatures have no nerves cause damn....that looks like it hurts.... Now Jaydin wants to help the mamed Salamander....alright kids back to camp !!

And your invoice for the belt change.......$ 4,300.00

My bud extended the LPG line to the backend of the trailer to hook up his BBQ !!! My thought INGENIOUS !
