Danger While Riding in the Forest


Be careful when riding in the forest as you never know when a limb may jump out and attack you as it did this guy.

That's a good one HAAAA. Have a go fast friend but does not know Baja. He passes us yells why ya all slowing down the army dug those big Xs. To prevent planes from landing near Coyotes. We had to sit with Mr go fast 2 hours until he decided he could get back up. We explained to Mr go fast how slow he is. As we could have been home if we did not wait for him. Jumpin cholla BW is the worst glade you reminded me , even slower when I see one.

Is there a doctor in the house? No...how about a tree surgeon, or a beaver?



If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
