Yesterday we took the Jeep out to Wheeler Pass near Pahrump. We had hoped to see some Wild Mustangs but only saw wild Mustang poop. We had to settle for jack rabbits, lizards, and blooming cactus instead.
We did see the old charcoal kilns along the way.
Today is Friday the 13th! My dad always said it was a lucky day for him. I must agree. We started this trip on Friday, February 13th and now, today, another great day.
We headed to Vegas' Fremont Street in order to see the festivities for the Mint 400 - an annual desert off-road race. Vaughan's friend Jim Ryan of Dual Sports Utah in Moab, UT is a driver in tomorrow's race. Vaughan rode dirt bikes with Jim a few years ago during one of our Moab visits. Unfortunately, Jim had gone for beers when we caught up to his crew and waiting in the hot Vegas sun is no picnic. Maybe we'll see him in Moab in a few weeks.
At least we got a picture of Vaughan with Jim's truck- which by to way is sponsored by DiscountStripper.com. Seriously???
Here is the truck and tow truck in front of one of the coolest buildings.
They closed down Freemont street for displays and the truck parade.
Monster sponsored a really cool motorcycle jump over their semi truck - flips, kicks, and all.
Here is a short video of just one of the runs these guys made.
Plus I won $35 in the casino while we were in Vegas & another $80 in Pahrump - Hurray for Friday the 13th!!.
Tomorrow we pack up and head to Utah for the next 6 weeks - 2 in St George and 3 in Moab and 1 in Monticello.
