We Had a blast, hunted the Quail and Chukar,
drank the Yard Bird and smoked Ceegars, made the
Quail and Chukar beware...

...plus the Dodge had to be taken home on a
flat-bed to the tune of $900...

Good times!

"full screen. Speakers on...(up!)

I love watching your videos. Beautiful shots of our desert.

Did you find any Chuckar?

Cool video, man! The desert out here sure is a blast.

Opening shot: 15 north just past second stoddard wells exit, Bell Mountain... I grew up on the other side of that hill.

I also enjoy your vid's and what impresses me is that you always seem to stay on either the road or "trail" and keep a clean footprint...I appluad you for driving clean.

Pretty cool! Never been to the desert before. Its is preety neet to see only sand, When you live in the swamp all you see is water. Bet it is really cool to take a ride on some back roads.

You need a newer GPS. That Garmin V is ancient! (I know, I have one in the mustang, hehe) Do they even make updated maps for it anymore?

California. I brought my saiplane in on a trailer, and had no choice but to
park where I would run the hydrant over if I forgot it was there.

I forgot.
