back in my pre teen days, I had a paper route and in this country every where you rode your bike you would run over the goat heads and I spent many hours patching my bike tires. I had more patches then actual rubber tube. There was no such thing as solid bike tires, which would have been a blessing

Yes, we saw this Canyon in Death Valley. The action started and happened so quickly I can't really remember what we caught on film in our EP130. I do remember how much smaller the jets looked flying through than I had been anticipating! That Canyon is a lot wider than it looks.

We actually got a message from Cindy, the gal that we RV’d with that was also at Valencia. (She drove a Dutch Star that got stuck in a CG in Florida one time.) Really sad to hear about that happening in the park. Glad no one was hurt. Quite a bit of that park is close to the river bank. The future of this park could be in jeopardy. We have really fond memories of our time in VTV, except of course it was during the height of Covid! We are in Van Horn Texas, on our way to Dallas for 20 days so Sue can fly home to see her daughter & mom!

All windmills have a threshold wind speed that they need so the generators run at an acceptable synchronous speed to create the power. Only about half of the time we were there a few years ago (for a month) were the turbines actually operating.

Borrego Springs is one of my favorite motorcycle riding destinations in the local area. Lots of curvy and twisty roads leading to and from the area.

And, yep there was lots of snow on the ground. BUT I GOT MY PIE - thank you Mark. We got the original Apple which is amazing and was well worth the trip.

Have you ever considered a tubeless setup for your bikes? I have been mountain biking for over 30 years. Stans Notubes is a great sealant but there are a number of good Tire sealants on the market now do not use slime it does not work very well. I ride over big old BlackBerry vines all the time and have not had a flat in years. Carry a backup inner tube for every bike just in case you ding your rim and it will not hold air.
