I was a little concerned that the flag girl was directly in harm's way in some pictures. Then I realized she was just a water stamp.

She is my assistant, easy to carry in my pocket.

Thanks for putting that together. I'll pass on the machine gun sounds though.

What was that jacked up golf cart thing that ran away in the lead? (As you can tell, my knowledge of anything with more than two wheels is limited.

jaja The machine gun sounds were supposed to be suppressed, but it didn't work. That sound is the still camera doing it's 11fps thing.

The jacked up golf cart thing is a RzR 1000, raced by John D of Punta Chivato

Hmm. $20K is a lot of geetus. I think I'll stay with my bike. It was fast though.

I have enough trouble dodging rocks with a one track vehicle.

I found a nice scrabble today. Headed North on Rt. 1 from Mulege a couple of miles to the first dump on the left. Through the dump and up to a slate/flat rock quarry overlooking the race course. I was all full of myself for bouncing up there until I found two F-150 flat bed trucks up there loading rock. Oh well.

Ain't that the truth!

I look down at the 2-tracks on a super gnarly remote back country climb and there's bald tire tracks. OK, maybe one (or two) thread of tread mark in the dirt.

Screws with your head, it does (at least mine!) Those guys can drive anywhere.
