Rick you never did tell me where Sagebrush,Nv is, I can't find it on any of my maps. We need to get together and ride, that is if you will ride with a almost old person. Sure wish you dune runners would keep the noise down, it's hard to sleep when I'm on nightshift and have to listen to all the noise over there. Then when I get up and see all the tracks you guys make on the sand it's enough to make me want to join the 'sierra club'. I don't know if you have ever given any thought to how long it takes the wind to cover up your tracks, you know that happens when 'you dune runners' go home. Now get back to work so I can have some peace and quite.
That is all I've got to say!
Les, across from the dunes by choice.

Some people are never too old.
We put my father-in-law on a Suzuki 230 when he was 74 years old and took him through the dunes at Glamis. He was pretty game and actually spilled it once! He got right back on! After that trip he decided quads weren't quite his thing so he bought a Wrangler! Now he takes his "girlfriend" out in that thing all the time and she just maintains a "death grip" on the grab bar and laughs! He said you can smooth out the road into Dumont if you get going over 70!
