Upcoming excursions

Husband and I like, no let me reword, we love love love to off-road. There is nothing better than the free spirited play on the beaten path, but more so off it. Our motor's thunderous call of sound is created by nothing less than the adjustment of your ankle bringing about the utmost childish behavior in myself and similarly my fellow off-roaders. We continue the childish behavior at every stop with whitty banter between fellow "team mates" because lets face it, its a race every where we go and we are on team Maverick!!! We trace the trails with swiftness and precision, race through the whoops at Ricky Bobby speeds, and when we look into the face of a rocky hillside instead of feeling limited and intimidated we move forward in 4wheel low and deface that rocky pile in our quest for the top. Is it this glorious? Absolutely.

At the end of the day we all meet up at camp having left clean and pretty and arriving as filth mongers dirt stained from tip to toe with a smile! The girls begin dinner, traditionally a buffet style meal serving the masses, and the boys light the camp fire, by light of course I mean with .25 gallon of race gas and a pile of wood that would make an Alaskan jealous. The night continues with music, stories, air guitar (not kidding), great food, and amazing company. For these reasons we love off-roading and our passion for it has been seared into our little oil filled hearts.

This weekend we will be enjoying this crazy addictive sport in Barstow for the High Desert Charities Poker Run sponsored by Slash X Cafe. Between races... er... of course I mean poker runs... I will be taking a slew of photos of members of this race! I'm looking forward to meeting as many of the charity contributing members of our sport I can, and fingers crossed they bring some off-road photo business! Being in the desert I hope to luck out and get some amazing sunset photos, purples and pinks are the best and most memorable sunsets. Photos to come, but in the meantime here is one of my favorite sunsets to tide you over.
