I basically walked around for the better part of 30 mins with my mouth open snapping photos just taking it all in ... Tons of bizarre things weld to the tops of each pole. Pretty cool little spot. Elmer was super cool to he chatted with us a bit.
 
Where was I.... so before we rolled out of the Bottle Tree Ranch . I had the old man show me how it's done in Oregon.

Group split up half went to grab something to eat/head back to camp. We headed back the into the dirt. Things were going pretty smooth until there was a call over the radio from Jake that they were over heating. Half the spun around and headed back to their car to find that they had blown a radiator hose...luckily Sdecurti had the correct size hose in stock. Papa Gort cut it to fit a but he was unable to get it to fit correctly. So things got a little custom

We ended up going thought all the bottled water we had with us and had to dip into the cooler water to get the radiator topped up but we got shit handled didnt even have to break into any coor light. Loaded up and hit the road back to camp

I hung back and waited for NODNARB at the last turn before camp. After having a cold pop we decided to meet up with some of the other group that headed over to the dune section. Stevypop called in over the radio and informed me that there was an epic jump we needed to come scope. So that we did.

There was a Calico meet? Looks like a good time!
That was a great trip, the plan was Calico but ended up in Barstow and the rest was history! Where's picture or video of Mikey absolutely sending the Bronco off the Dan Vance jump? I think think I might have it, Mikey's face was white and his eyes were the size of dinner plates after that jump!
 
There is a video somewhere, this screen grab doesn't do it justice. Mikey and Jensen were having a jumping contest!!

Where's that sand jump at, I've tried to find it a couple times? West side of the 15, right?
 
this is the one. This was my "thank you DR trip" after i got released from jail........ right???

Edit.
