  1. Haven't posted any pics...but we hit up Glamis this year. Man, I missed that place. Got there early Wed afternoon and was able to snag a spot (2nd or 3rd camp) along Gecko Rd. about 20ft from the pavement. I will NEVER camp in the washes again...that is the way to go. Was a pretty busy weekend...The sand drags were about 5 rows deep and about 500+ yrds long. Didn't go to Olds at night, but that is okay...had plenty of fun at camp. Thurs went out for some dune riding then went exploring and came across a little oasis in the middle of nowhere by the bombing range, had some fly overs by some awesome jets. Friday, the camp next to us took us out across the highway and showed us Slab City and Salvation Mountain (Google it, pretty damn cool), blew my belt on the rzr on the way back, but got that all fixed up back at camp. Saturday we took the sand highway on the west side, through Gordon's Well down to Duners Diner, another pretty cool a$$ place. Headed back to camp after about 4 hrs of being out and just chilled and got ready to watch the mayhem at the sand drags (we didn't even have move out of camp, just sat in our chairs and watched from camp). All in all, didn't do too much duning this trip but did alot of exploring and it made the trip even better. I was kind of worried about jacking my back up since I had surgery back in March, but had my brace on and survived. Can't wait to go back and do some more exploring. AWESOME TRIP!!!!

  2. Here are some pics from our Halloween camping trip @ Pirates Cove....

    I entered this one in their photo contest but lost (came in 3rd)

  3. I have a 1/2 F150 and tow a WW Superlight....even fully loaded it can pull it pretty good. NOW, on big hills and whatnot, it does struggle. With that said, I always stay in the far right lane (even the truckers lane going up Baker Grade) and will also pull to the side if some REALLY needs to pass and doesn't have the room, but going up hill while struggling, pulling off only F's me and my momentum up. I used to have it floored with the RPM's pinged at 5500-6500 (up hill) but learned my lesson one time coming back (blown up piston and had to get a new block), so I watch it. Like Pete said, not all of us can afford a nice deisel truck that can handle anything. We deal with what we have....
