There are a couple of days on this page. We found another place to
Boondock, in Grand Valley Off Highway Vehicle (OHV) Area. It is a City
Park on the outskirts of Grand Junction.
 |
I took this picture from the home page
and put it here, because I do not like to have too many pictures
on the home page, it slows it down. This is a stock photo, one
we got from
www.RV.net, not one we took, and
no that is NOT Sasha, these trails are way too difficult for us. |
 |
Our Camp on September 29th, we are going
out for a ride. |
 |
Another picture of camp |
 |
Sunset ride |
 |
Here is our camp on the first full day.
We have not taken the camper off of the truck. I took this
picture from the side of the road. |
 |
Sasha is getting on his boots before we
go for a ride. He had some problems with his bike afterwards,
there seems to be a gasoline leak. But he is a handy guy and he
rigged it up so that it will not be too bad. We took several
rides that day, but I do not have pictures of the rides. We were
having way too much fun. October 1st we will have more pictures
and a few videos. |







 |
October 1st: I wanted to get this pictures posted as
we saw a guy deliberately drive into the mud right across the
street from our camp. So here are a couple of pictures of him
getting out. I also have a video of him getting out of the mud.
It is called "Jeep
In The Mud" |
 |
This is our campsite from a little
farther away |
 |
What is this? A Tank? They are going to
take this tank out for a ride. Really got to love the Colorado
people, they will take anything out there to go Four-Wheeling
(although this does not really count as four wheels.) |
 |
They started up the tank and it looks as
though they hadn't used it in a while, there were a lot of
fumes. |
 |
Here is a close up of the tank. |
 |
After seeing the tank I decided I could
certainly take this big hill. |
 |
This large hill behind me is razor sharp
at the top. Neither I nor Sasha will attempt as it is very
difficult to do. We can see the trail and it is a single track
(so I would not be able to do it anyway - phew!) |
 |
My Little Donkey is great for relaxing
when I have been riding hard. |
 |
Sasha on the trail where you can see that
big hill, we also have a video from another place within the
OHV area that he rode. |
 |
That is Sasha at the top of one of the
hills; For a little while, I was afraid he was not going to be
able to get down. When he finally did get down, he said that it
was a single track trail with a very steep downhill. There was
no way that he was going to attempt that so he turned the
motorcycle around very carefully. His motorcycle is about 300
pounds so it is very difficult to move. We came home after that
lovely ride. |
 |
October 2nd: There was a track in the OHV area that
had been made by people constantly going around it. So Sasha and
I tried it out. Got to respect those guys that do motorcross as
it was very TOUGH! I was able to go around once and I was
sweating and tired. |
 |
Sasha went around the track five times!
By the end, he was very tired and sweaty. Good thing we take
outdoor showers each night, he will definitely need one. |
 |
After the track, we went back to camp,
had lunch and then went out again with our shotgun - a Mossberg
"Persuader" and it has a bit of a kick. I am wearing Sasha's
jean jacket as it gives a little bit more protection than a
tee-shirt. |
 |
Here I am posing with the Shotgun.
Melanie from my book club showed me how to hold a gun before I
left. My check is not down all the way, but the gun stock is in
the right place. She also told me how to stand but I think I
might have gotten confused on that. All in all, no bruises from
the shooting so I must have been holding it ok. I hit a target
once, so that is good. |
 |
Sasha is loading the gun. As you notice,
he has ear protection on, this is a good idea as the gun shot is
very loud. |
 |
Sasha posing and shooting a target. He
actually did hit the target more times than me, probably because
he kept his eyes open more. |
 |
Someone came by and we were able to get
him to take a picture of us. He came with a handgun. Actually,
where we were shooting was for pistols while there was another
area for rifles. But those targets were far away, there was no
point to being there, so we went to the pistol range instead. |
 |
The range, Laura, Sasha, and the
Persuader. |
 |
When we got back from the range, we need
to take showers. As we had not taken the rig off of the truck,
the water opening is a little higher up, so we got the ladder
and Sasha is filling up the tanks with the water containers. We
have four water containers that hold five gallons each. So 20
gallons can go into the clean water tank. Enough for showers,
cooking, and drinking for a few days. We took showers that
night, and woke to rain in the morning of October 3rd. We quickly broke camp
and high-tailed it out of there. We were not going to get stuck
at a mud camp. So we went to Island Acres State Park. |
