May 24th

I hope everyone is having a great Memorial Weekend and remembering what this Holiday weekend is all about.  Being a Veteran I know what it was like coming home during the Vietnam War and not getting the treatment that we deserved for fighting for our country.  Now day's the US people, I fell know what this weekend is all about and treat our Veteran's with a lot more respect now days.  It is great to be able to stand up now and say yes I am a Veteran and proud of it!!!!!
 Well this weekend we are spending some time with our daughter playing here in Coos Bay, OR.  Yesterday and today have been some great rides and I am starting to feel what old can do to you,  I hurt all over after out there riding hard, but it was well worth it.  Here are a few pictures of the area that we are riding in and watching the kids and there son ride with friend that also came down.

We had 7 quads and 4 RZR's in our group,

Look out here they come, after finally getting them all together.  The weather was good and the wind is blowing a little to help keep the sand smooth.

 Here our grandson and his best friend are hill climbing.

Jared's mom showing him the right way to climb the hills!!!!

We stopped to have some water and make sure everyone is still all with us and we seen some big sand rails heading by us.  There are a lot of these running around here this weekend.  What is nice with all the people down here and the size of this area we are riding in is not really that crowded.

I think this view of the bridge going into North Bend has got to be one of my best!!!

The boys are having fun racing around this small sand pond, it should be gone by the last part of August.

Every once in a while some one has to see how deep these ponds are, well this guy found out that it was just a little bit deeper is this spot.  I hate to say this but it happens to be one of the guys that are in our group and he found a nice deep hole in the middle.

Yep, with the wind blowing the water is cold.

Here his wife is pulling him out.  After drained the air box of water, and the water out of the exhaust pipe.  This Honda started right up with very little problems.  After all of the water blew out of the exhaust pipe, it ran just fine, Honda are great bikes.

After all of the hard riding today and the adults are pooped the kids can still play.  Here they are burying our grandson, I am glad he is not sleeping in our coach.

The two boys are getting along pretty good now.  They play together all the time now but Turbo is the alpha dog and keeps Spike in his place.  One more day of riding and we head back to the Tacoma area before we head out to Alaska.
