Good Bad and Burnt.

D'Animal · 07-08-07, 03:56 PM

Total down time was less than 45 minutes.

Here we are up and running on the other side of the tunnel. We saw patches of snow but it did not cool down the tractor cab. A couple are just random pics from the road.

D'Animal · 07-08-07, 04:09 PM

Here are some pics from MOAB.

Bob was real happy about being woke up at midnight to go wheeling but that is when we got there.

D'Animal · 07-08-07, 04:15 PM

Here are a few pics of the Gemini Bridges trail.

The first one is at the end of the trail with the 3/4 moon coming up.

We hiked over too the Arch but the pictures did not turn out.

The next picture is going down the 300' hill.

D'Animal · 07-08-07, 04:31 PM

We hung around the Gemini Bridges area and wheel all the trails we could find. We did not go to the Pison Spider trails.

My 60 only has a 3.5 Utimate, extreme heavy duty lift and is running some 33 BFG AT on open difs. We did not have another rig with us. We did have a winch, tow straps, etc.

We left the trail head around 3:45am and headed to Las Vegas

D'Animal · 07-08-07, 04:35 PM

Here is my co-pilot taking a nap.

D'Animal · 07-08-07, 04:38 PM

Proof my crew cab tractor can almost do 77mph. This was a long down hill coming from St George Utah towards Las Vegas,NV.

It never did hit 77mph. LOL

D'Animal · 07-08-07, 05:16 PM

The first is a view of Las Vegas in the distance. Just looking at that picture makes you want to de-smog something doesn't it?

The next two are of the strip area taken from I-15.

Bob drove and I slept from Las Vegas to Barstow.

D'Animal · 07-08-07, 05:22 PM

Just a few more mountians and I'm home. Actually at this point I'm less than 5 miles from the house.

80ish % of the "smog" in Vegas is particulate matter. There is a reason tat most construction sites are required to wet their sites down.. We even have "Don't be a Dusthole" ads

D'Animal · 07-08-07, 05:27 PM

I noticed that there was no "Brown Cloud" as they call the particulate matter from construction debris in AZ.
