Hurrah Pass Take 2



We decided to try Hurrah Pass a second time this time I remembered the camera.

A Great Group of People


Friday we had our last dinner with a really great group of people before they left to go back home. While we didn't get to ride with them. We all shared stories about the rides and adventures or misadventures of the day. We can't wait to hook up again for more dirt bike rides.

Arches National Park



We went through Arches National Park yesterday in the jeep. We had wind gusts of 45mph and some rain so we didn't get any pictures of the arches but we got a couple before the rain of Park Avenue and Balanced Rock. Awesome sights for sure.

Finally on the Road


After a 2 day delay we finally got on the road. I had to regroup after putting the bikes on the swivel wheel carrier. I found out i couldn't tow it with the Jeep as the Jeep caused the carrier to sway. So we bought a 6' trailer. Johnny Wieting helped me modify it to carry 2 motorcycles. We now have a ROAD TRAIN. The trailer sways a little but is manageable. We are parked for the night in Ozona Texas at the circle bar rv park. We hope to hit the road early in the am.

Closer to getting on the road

Just got back from the Cummins service center and the recall for v band clamps is done they also installed 7 updates to the engine management system. We spent the night in front of the service center as the engine had to be cold. I don't think we will be doing much boondocking. It was so nice to get back to the Bastrop River KOA Rv Park.
