Just got back from an amazing day with @dezrtracer & @Ziggy. We ended up going on a 100+ miles ride today. It is the second long ride the first was about 50 miles. The first ride was on the weekend going to the bunker bar. This one was on the south side of town. Some of what we rode was the poker run route. Went to the cabin and saw the spider. It was an incredible. So grateful that the wife had a good time as well. For the 6+ hours that we were in the desert we only saw one other truck out as well. It got me thinking thus making me create the poll….

I love boating. Tough to beat the sound of a car/boat motor firing up first thing in the morning. SXS is the best thing I’ve ever bought though. 5-6 gals of gas a weekend. Cruising through the desert with friends and family is awesome.
PS. Fix your damn whips.

Truth.

I thought @HNL2LHC had exacting standards of perfection after taking him out in my boat… then I see these whips.

If it's mid week, I vote for both! Glad all you fellas and ladies are enjoying the perks of retirement!
I wish that I was retired. I just happen to be looking for a few job sites but got lost. Very fortunate that Debbie was kind enough to help out of the desert. 👍

100% boating.

Even on a busy weekend I can find a quiet spot in the desert but on a regular weekend in the summer on the water there is not an inch of the lake that doesn't feel crowded.

What was the temperature? 😁
Warmer than what Saturday will be. LOL. We started about 11:30 and it was in the 60s. Warmed up a bit and was very nice. Then around 4 and the sun going down it got a little chilly and the hoodie came back on. IT was a great day for sure. I had a blast even if I look like Pig that just came out of the pig pen. LOL

It will be interesting to see how much we burned. I filled up right before the ride so I will know when I fill up in the AM.

Guess my cell was broke. I never got the call for this 100 Miles.

I'm off road now. Few years back it was boat boat boat. Few skin cancer removals, the recent summer crowd and winters are better

Can’t help it if people don’t like offroading. I don’t see the point in driving 5 hours to offroad for all of 30 miles for the weekend.

Kinna like the people that sit in the channel and drink all day? 😁

It was kind of spur of the moment kind of thing. Send us your number and we will reach out the next time. There is talk next week but sadly I will be working.

Still have grit in my eyes and ears. Have not checked other hard to reach areas yet this AM
After a couple of years of looking like you is the exact reason the wife and I decided to stick with boating only. It was fun while it lasted.😁

We have a few acres up by Peach Springs. Heard you can get to beaches off the Grand Canyon from there. That is one of the many trips I want to check out. That and taking the Jeep up to Moab again and get out on a trail or two. 👍

You said part was the poker run route? Is there a GPX file already made? I’d like to upload it to my tablet for next weekend.

They don’t give a gps file for the route. But it’s the same route every year.
