I'm speechless! Thanks again Jim!

Holy crow, Jim, you need studs on your tires to stay on the trail
Such beauty at every turn.
The rock formations are incredible.

Yeah, that blue "grass" is soooo pretty.

The desert starting to bloom
Tough plants in a tough environment.
Can you just imagine how hot that "soil" gets in summer.

Great pics, thanks!

Thanks you guys/gals

I have been here in July...115F,the sand was so hot you can't walk/run on it.

You need some wings too-that trail crumbles fast if you get near the edge!

Awesome! Thanks for sharing your adventure with us.

[hardyjim]

You betcha.
