SoCal Ocotillo Wells/TDS 3/6-3/8

Whats up peeps.. Well I finally got the chance to get out of civilization for a bit..I met up with my buddy and her family friday night after I got off of work, Then stuck around till sunday morning.
Ocotillo is a chill place, Im just not a fan of the high speed crap because my truck is not built for that. But still, I had a blast on the couple rides I went on...
Saturday, One of the first things in the morning I was riding my buddies ATV and went to take a turn too quickly, Alas I flipped over the bars and the throttle lever came with me, sooo, I had to haul the scrambler back to camp in the taco, Well needless to say I forgot about the tie downs that were somewhere in my truck No pictures of that though...

Umm, Sunday the whole group went on a ride all over, we went to lost city and found the geo casche. But yeah, im only typeing more cause photobucket is taking forever....


My buddies Pup likes the TACO


2 things that just cant be beat




You can see the serious thought in my face...


Someone's 85 EFI.




TDS :






I then accidently left my camera in the truck...

On the way back to Ocotillo, You can sorta see the window busted..


Missing battery hold downs plus my own crappy wiring for my cb = camp fix



hah

Left to right, Beth, Katie, Me.


The only pic I got of sunday morning...


Enjoy folks.

Many people think its drugs, but I dont do those.

Nice meeting you this weekend, Scuba. Now that I know your real name, every time I see your posts I just think of Scuba Steve from Big Daddy lol. Sorry I couldn't stick around longer, Saturday was my buddy's 21rst b-day and he wanted to get out of there. Hopefully we can wheel together another time.

Did you go check out the drunken shenanigans in the notches Saturday night?
