Searched For Water In The Desert, Found Some Drama Instead

Good stuff. Sometime injuries are part of the adventure and make for great future stories.

Well, we try to have a good time no matter what's going on. After all, that's the whole point We spent 5 hours roasting in the depths of hell that is Kaiser Hospital the day after we got back. They basically said the same thing: broken scapula, 6 weeks off work, keep it immobilized and we'll see you in 3 weeks.

Thanks, Scot! I love Nevada. It's just so vast and beautiful and desolate. We really enjoy our time out there a lot and can't wait to go back again

Thanks! I would have preferred a little more riding and a little less adventure, but it's all good. We had a great time

Thanks, Daniel508s. Eric is doing great, thanks for asking. It doesn't hurt like your average broken bone. It only hurts when he moves a certain way, so he's lucky. Why couldn't any of my numerous broken bones have been like that??

Oh, you are bad, bad, bad!! Don't encourage me! I haven't had a car payment in over 15 years and I'm not looking forward to having another one...but dang, that's a sweet looking rig you've got there I need to go for the 2-door model as we'll go without a back seat so we can do carpool. It is absolutely essential around here, what with all the traffic and ridiculously expensive bridge tolls.

You nailed it, Kelly No matter how grim things get on the trail we always know we'll laugh about it later After all, adventure is but discomfort recounted at leisure

Thanks, jfoulkrod We don't really know what we're doing out there, we're just plonking around and exploring and seeing what's out there. That's the big appeal for me when it comes to this kind of riding. Yeah it isn't some gnarly singletrack somewhere but it brings its own great reward, and I love finding new stuff. You just never know what you'll see out there!


I'm semi-pleased with my photos this time. I think I'm finally figuring out my camera, and I finally figured out how to keep Photobucket from miniaturizing my photos upon download so I think that helps. Nevada herself was the biggest help of all by giving me great scenery and wonderful skies as a backdrop.

Now that was some adventure. Great pics.
Hope Eric is feel'n better.

Riding with you is like a box of chocolates....



The most important question: What is Eric doing to keep himself from going stir crazy?

Hey! At least it wasn't me this time!


Eric read one book already and is halfway through his second one. He wakes up at about 7am now, the lazy

He actually washed the van one-handed today! The neighbors probably thought he was crazy. I'm hoping this industriousness continues and that I won't have to change my own rear tire soon He's excited to install my 144 kit so he'll be back in the garage in no time, I'm sure




WoodsChick

Thanks! Me, too

Arrgh! You really are the devil woman! I spent a few hours looking all over that site! Now you have to give me a place to live when Eric boots me out the door Thanks for the advice. I know what you mean about not being able to work on todays "drive by wire" cars. I'll take it to heart

Cool teardrop, too!

Waaah... Everyone has a new Jeep except me

Nice quote, but Eric didn't even get so much as a bruise or a scratch!
We couldn't even find a grassy spot or a dirt smudge anywhere on his jacket. That was weird And thanls for the well wishes; he's already feeling better

Thanks, Columbia; we're trying

Whoa! 8-12 weeks?? What happened?




WoodsChick

:cripple:

Let me know if you need anything.

If you are bored I could set you up coding some software

Ouch!! Sounds like you got off easy, though, considering how brutal those types of get-offs can be. Heal up quick and take good care of yourself!




WoodsChick

No, you've got it all wrong, mister. The bikes need to be nicer to us!
