Spent Saturday on the Grass Valley Trail. This shot was taken on the Cuddeback Dry Lake.

Here's the track from the GPS.

You still got that thing? Aren't you worried about carbon monoxide and hyrocarbon emmissions and global warming and using all that petrol that makes us Americans look selfish?? Huh, huh???

BTW, are you still doing that treasure hunt thing through the desert? That always seemed cool. Not much desert in east Tejas though.

I don't worry overmuch.

...and yeah, we were geocaching. Found seven caches and some incredible scenery. Especially the eastern part of the loop.

Here's some other pics...

^^Thanks Woodrow.

Really nice pics there Sand, love the desert. When we fled the hurricane last year it gave me an excuse to drive all the way to El Paso. My fave part of North Mexico!

Yup, more nice shots. I really, really wish I was closer to the desert. These hurricanes really are getting under my skin.

Also, that "technically" isn't a truck, at least it wouldn't be here in North Mexico. Here a truck is a cowboy cadillac.

What can I say. Sheep love me.

Technically, I have everything this does, except the body and the bed. Same engine, same drive line, same chassis, same cockpit, etc.

There's quite a few large trucks like that around here. I just can't figure out where they take 'em. Most of the trails get pretty narrow.

My situation is that I have been driving a Camaro/Firebird/GTO for the last 25 years. I just can't get into the SUV/Truck thing. Well, I could if I were closer to the desert. Just a sports car kinda nut ya know?

I bought an 85 Bronco in 1992 and I've been into SUVs ever since. The biggest reason I avoided pickups was the registration fees. It costs more for tags on a 1/2 ton pickup than it does a full size Surburban. California charges according to gross weight.

It could use a wash.
