Bar10 Ride

I just wrote this whole thing and the post failed losing all my clever verbiage. So jerebis the second attempt.

The Big Bear Trail Riders held their annual Bar10 Ride from Mesquite NV to the Bar10 Ranch along a stretch of high desert called the Arizona strip. The 100 or so miles were along jeep trails and fire roads which made for fast riding. We covered the distance in less than five hours. Once at the ranch, we ate lunch and rode the remaining 10 miles to the rim of the Grand Canyon.

The ranch is run by third generation brothers who host river rafters and raise cattle. They are excellent hosts and even do a little talent show after the family style dinner. It is like staying at a friend's house.

The ride home was through some very scenic desert landscape. It was hard to keepy eyes on the trail and we stopped often to takenot all in.

Then came the 400 mile drive home through Las Vegas on a Sunday evening. Ugh.

Thus concludes another well organized BBTR event.

Next is the Charity Ride on May15th in Beaumont to Idyllwild.

Ouch!

Some old man lost control and almost killed me. Luckily, I had my trusty surfboard take the bullet for me.

GI Joe meets L'il Pet Shop

The kids are on Spring break in the back yard playing on the sand and water table. Looks like the Meghan has used her secret weapon to protect her animals from an impending invasion - a huge Flamingo!
