it's a wash and not really any water running.
but,
you'd be amazed at where we take trucks !
crossing a river is not unusual.

yep, saw the handguards ..... rare is rare, and really cool, but from all the reports i get from this place, it's been boring..


now for some more..

any idea what kind of planes these are ??

I know, let's abolish the Fed, get out of the u.n. and kick them out of the country, close our borders and deport all illegals, bring every military member back home and close all foreign military bases.
Cut ALL tax rates personal and business to 11%, abolish all unconstitutional federal agencies.
It'll hurt but it would help us as a country.

Thought those hills looked familiar. They remind me of hills around Trinindad CO back in my TSJC days.

FUN !

They made a lot of two seater biplanes that are in ag use. I won't ride again as I won't be that young and nervy again. But,,,,, the memory is STILL exciting.



I should add (for those in the know) that the one I rode in was just out of overhaul and the spray tanks with gear was not yet re-installed. Hence the presence of a back seat.
