Memorial at the Sand Mt
Looks like about 3pm today.
Tony should get out before me (grey Surburban with a new 2600FS Weekend Warrior). (Leave EG about 2pm - picking up his wife from her work at Bradshaw and 50 then headed up 80.
Tank should be just ahead of me too (He is trying to leave from work - sunrise and 50) about noon. 2600FS Weekend Warrior towed by a metalic tan Dodge Diesel.
Couple more things to get and then wait for the wife to get home from work.

DuneMe:
Didn't catch your email before I left. I usually ride a Banshee.
I/we just got back mid day yesterday. We left Wed night and drove as far as Reno and pulled into the Nugget parking lot at 3:00am. We were up and driving by 7:00am Thursday. Coming into Fallon my buddy had motor home trouble. As neither of us was diesel savy, we called a mobile repair guy. It ended up being a blown piddley/chicken-dog O-ring at some manifold assy. O-ring replaced and 3 gallons of power steering fluid for $117.00 and we were back on the road. Got to Sand Mountain, setup camp left of the fence. Took it easy that day and just sat around camp as it was hotter than heck (97+deg). Next day rode some, Banshee ran like $hit. Must have been the combination of the altitude and the heat. Next day we tried ridding around, bikes ran like $hit, hot hot hot. My buddy (same one that had the motor home trouble) blew his tranny. Pulled him back to camp, fired-up the generator, kicked on the AC and sat inside the motor home suclking down beers. Next day, I tried running the 250R, but it also ran like $hit. Hot hot hot. It was so dang hot I didn't want to mess with changing jets, adjusting needles Etc. We finally got tired of the heat and left on Sat back to Reno (Much cooler). We pulled into the overflow area near Boomtown and camped for the night . Didn't get much sleep though due to (3) dogs barking all night. Apparently some gal had tied them to her truck & U-haul trailer and left to go stay in the hotel for the night. Next day we moved over to the RV park. On the way over there my buddy (same one again) was turning his motor home around a drunk in a Cherokee decided he couldn't wait to get by. He got pi$$ed and as he went by, banged his door against the motor home and took off. We filled a report, but of course we never saw him again. Next morning we headed back home and got there with no real problems.

Wow.
It was hot.
My DS ran great for the first ride then wouldn't start. Had spark and had fuel. Felt the exhaust and it was sucking while the engine was turning over so. . . tore into it to see what was going on with the cams. Cams looked fine so, figured a valve must have slipped or tuliped. Put it back together and parked it for the weekend.
Had to ride my Wife's Craptor the rest of the weekend.
No question about it. . . the DS is the quad for me. That Bird just isn't comfortable.
Had a great time in our group. Fired up the Margarita Machine for Friday and Saturday night. Left Sunday afternoon.
Tore into the engine yesterday and found the leaking exhaust valve in the head. I'll have to pull the valve and check to see what went wrong.
