March 11th & 12th

We have had a very busy two days, one being a lot of traveling and the other having a great time playing in Disney World.  Lets start with Monday, we were up and on the road by 3:00 AM, yes their are two of them in a day.  We got to the Palm Springs airport with know problem and load on the plane.  That is when things started to go a little bit south.  We got on the runway and the pilot said we need to wait a few minutes before we can take off because they are turning the approach to LA a different direction, but we should be close to our correct time of arrival.  Should I tell you that when we land at LA we have a half hour to get to our next flight and we don't know the gate yet.  OK, we can still make it.  Then we land in LA and now we are 15 minutes late, OK we still have 15 minutes to get to our next flight.  But wait we have to stay on the tar mat for an extra 15 minutes waiting to finish our taxi to our stop.  Now we have a problem Houston!!!!!
We get off the plan check on our next flight and where e have to go.  Great our next flight is not even at the terminal yet, good we got time to pee and get something to eat we hope!!! Then with in 10 minutes it changes to now final loading and we are still 5 minutes away, all in all we made the flight and were on our way to Florida from LA with not to much of a heart attack. 

We are in Florida, good by plane and on to Disney World to play.

Cyndy's hero!!!!

Sorry for the bad picture but Walt Disney really had one thing he was hoping everyone would think when they came here and that was "Where Dreams Come True" you just have to believe in this!!! 

Old Key West is where we are staying, we have a real nice room and a view right out over a golf course.  Wish I had brought the clubs, but would not have time to play anyway.

We meet Ronnie and his family, boy are those kids growing.  Adam is getting to be such a big kid, be is going to make a great football player. Alex & Sara are growing like little weeds.  Sara came up up to Cyndy and really made her feel great by calling her great grandma Cyndy!!!!  We talked for a while and they were off to Hollywood and we were just going to take it easy and maybe go over to Downtown Disney.

We took the boat over to Downtown, we had a nice ride and this balloon ride, Cyndy said no way am I going up in that.

We have never been downtown beforeand it was a neat place to walk around.  A lot of great places to eat and shop, but these lego's were neat displays.

We headed back to Old Key West because we need to meet some real great people.

Cyndy's cousin Rose & Dennis, this is neat we get to play in this wonderful park together.  We had a late dinner snack and headed off to bed after a long day of flying.  I think the both couples were really tired, they had a difficult flight also but that's a another story all by it;s self.
Tuesday on to Magic Kingdom.

Rain well not dampen our spirits because we are all from Washington and it rains there a lot.  We did a lot of shop looking and watching people.  We did a couple of rides and by mid day it had stopped raining.

Tried to get Cyndy & Rose to stand next to these wood carvings but they said know way, you can see the steam coming out of there ears but not the water coming out of there mouth.  They said it was already to wet around here.

Jungle boat ride.

We did a few other rides and had a great time walking around the park.

We do have to eat, so we took a short break before the parade of lights in Magic Kingdom.

The castle just before the light parade.

Here are a few pictures from the light parade.

After the light parade it was off to watch the Castle light show and fireworks.

What a day of exitement and time with great freinds, but it is late and time to hit the rack.  More to come tomorrow, don't know what park we are going to but it will be fun.  Thrusday is when we celebrate RD's birthday with a drinking trip around Epcot Center, should be fun!!!!

March 10th

The day has finally come, tomorrow morning at 3:00 AM, yes there are to 3:00 on the clock and I am going to see what the one at the AM looks like.  Cyndy and I have been busy getting ready for this day forever it seems like.  Turbo is at the babysitters hopefully doing OK.  He got a free trip to Pismo for a few days then he will be back here when we get back.  The owners of Steve’s ATV Rental are watching him for us.  That is sure nice of them, we have got to know them very well and enjoy their company a lot.

Now let’s go through the check list, suitcase packed, check; boarding pass printed, check; now to get a little bit of sleep, maybe.  You know how it is the night before you leave on a big trip you really don’t sleep very well.  Anyway tomorrow night’s blog will be coming from Orlando, FL at Disney World.  It will be great to see Cyndy’s cousins and all their family.  So this is a short blog tonight but a lot of pictures tomorrow I hope.  Up up and away at 6:00 AM tomorrow morning!!!!!

March 8th

The last post I did was about some things that I need to get done around the trailer.  One of those things I was hoping would not happen to me did last night.  Yes, I got the stomach flu from Cyndy.  Cyndy is getting over it and I got it.  That is one of those things that us married people seem to do a lot.  We believe in making sure our mate gets whatever the other one has.  It’s not one of those things you try to do it just happens.  Anyway by this morning I was pretty well over it and yes well cleaned out.  I hate to say it but this is a hell of away to lose a few pounds.  Anyway by the end of the day and one meal under my belt tonight I am on the way to a full recovery.

Today was one of those days at work where we did a little bit then took a break.  We got all the bikes ready for this weekend, I like to check them all out and make sure I have no surprises.  Tomorrow all I have left to do is check air pressure in tires.

One more thing, when we get done with work tomorrow we only have one more day and we are off to Disney World.  We are both looking for to this trip and spending time with our cousins.  I think Cyndy and Rose are on the phone at least 3 times a day planning what we are going to be doing.  It should be a great vacation!!!!!

March 6th

Today was one of those days wear I got up and did my thing and Cyndy was in bed.  I should say she was a little under the weather.  I think she has a touch of the stomach flue, hope I don’t get it.  I have been stay a little away from her all day.  With Cyndy under the weather I guess I will get some of the things done around here that needed to be done.

First I need to do some repair to a kitchen cabinet, that’s done.  OK, Cyndy is down so I will do the weekly vacuuming and a little bit of cleaning.  I should have never let her know I can work the cloths washing thing.  So I even got the rugs washed and dried with no damage to them. Let’s see what else I can get into.  Oh, the ribs need to go into the crook pot for dinner, don’t think Cyndy will eat any, but I still have to eat.

OK, everything is done in the house, tomorrow the weather is going to change so I might as well cover up the Razor before it rains.  At least that is what the weather person is saying for Friday.   Wait a minute, why don’t I go out for a short ride, I do need to fill up the Razor.  I asked if it was OK, and Cyndy said be careful.  SO off I went for a little trail ride and filled up the Razor.  Had a good time and found a couple of neat trails that I will have to take Cyndy on when she gets better.

Tomorrow we will be going into town for our weekly shopping trip then back to work on Friday.  Wait a minute; in 5 more days we will be on our way to Disney World, we are looking forward to this trip. We have to dig out the suitcases an d get things packed.  Cyndy get up I need to get the suitcases out from under the bed.  OK, we are getting ready to leave.  Will keep you posted of our trip to Disney World.

March 5th

In 6 days we will be up up and away to Disney World.  We are looking forward to this trip, because we get to see some of our family members that we haven't seen in over a year. 
Today I went to the shop and got the rock guards on the rear A-arms.  Now everything under the Razor is pretty well protected from rocks, at least I hope so!!!!  Got back to the trailer and Cyndy asked if we could go out geocaching, don't have to ask me twice, I was out setting in the Razor waiting for her.
We did pretty good today found 10 more caches in our running around.  There were a couple that got put on our favorites list.

This one was great, it was in this pipe about 12 inch down, need a steel rod to get it, had a magnet on it so up it came.

This was another great find, it was called cheap rent!!!
As you all know we work the weekend so we didn't, get to go over to the Jeep and side by side event.  But heard it was great from the people that stopped by.  A couple of jeeps rolled over playing in the 4x4 park here. One was on the big hill that is straight up and down.  I guess he made it to the top, then put it in reverse and did a role over back wards.  Role cage was damaged pretty good and know one really got hurt.

We were lucky to get a couple of photos of people playing a little bit.

There were a lot of neat rides out here this weekend.

I found these pictures on the web of this years rally hope you enjoy them.

OK, lets go on a trail ride.

 

This place was packed this weekend!!!!!

Yep, a nice new jeep on its side.

 

We took a ride up to Corral Wash to see where Steve's Wild Cat rolled last weekend, we think we found the spot.

 



 

Steve's wild cat caught this rock then rolled over on the drivers side, didn't get any pictures of the Wild Cat, but it is not good.











February 28th

The last day of February, it seems like it took forever to get here.  One of the reasons we have been looking forward to March is, we are heading to Disney World in Florida on the 11th of March.  We are going to meet our nephew Ronnie and his family to help RD celebrate his 21st birthday.  We are looking forward to this because Cyndy's cousin Rose will also be their and we should have a lot of fun.
This morning I got up fixed a dynamite breakfast, at least I though so.  Cyndy was still a little under the weather and she wanted to head back into town to a drug store to get something to help her feel better.  That's a plus for everyone if we get her feeling better because if mom isn't feeling good everyone will no it.  Just kidding she isn't that bad, but I like to give her a bad time.
We got back about noon and she was starting to feel a little bit better so we went out for a short ride to see how they are doing at setting up for this weekends event.  But before we even left we seen this just on the other side of the freeway.

With all the black smoke we were worried it might be a RV fire.

We got closer and seen it was just a bunch of junk and tires that caught fire.

We were glad that it was not an RV, but still this fire did a lot of damage to someones stuff.  Will it is time to head out and see how much the area, or should I say little town in the desert has grown.

 The area is starting to fill up with RV's, not to bad yet with it only being Thursday and Friday afternoon is when things start happening.  I hope Saturday to get out here and get some pictures with this place hoping.  We see jeeps all over the place.

Now this is a big boy's toy.  I am hoping that we can get a look at a few more like this.  There are a lot of jeeps coming in with bright shiny paint jobs.  I wonder what they will look like after this weekend of trail riding. Tomorrow we already have people coming in the get ATV's early on Friday so we will be up and at them early.  But one bright thing in just 11 more days we will be on a plane to Disney World!!!!!!

 



February 27th

This morning we got up and had breakfast, Cyndy is feeling a little bit better.  I had her up and eating before 9:00 AM on her day off.  Trying to get her to eat a little earlier on our days off, maybe that will help her diabetes.  Any way we were on our way to town for our weekly trip, stopping by the bank, going to the post office, then to the other 10 stops before we headed back home.  We got back about 1:00 PM and I asked Cyndy if she wanted to go out for a short ride.  So off we went to check out the area for this weekends event.

We headed out through Truck Haven so that we could look down on the 4X4 camp .  We seen about a dozen or so rigs up here on the bluff picking out their area.

You can see the early birds are getting set up and picking the best spots.

As you can see the tents are up for the vendors and the advance staff have there spot and now waiting for everyone to show up.  When talking to one of them today, they said there should be about 6000 people here this weekend.  This place is going to be a little city by Friday night.

This would be a great spot to set up camp, they have the fire ring and a place to sit.  I just don't know how I would get the trailer here.

Yep, that's the trail I came up here on yesterday, now to get Cyndy to want to go down it.

OK, here we go down, what ever goes up must come down some time.

It didn't feel this steep coming up yesterday, or was it a different trail.  Oh well, we are start down, no turning around now.

Cyndy says I am getting a little close to this wall.  I asked did we touch it?  She said no but I can stick my hand out and touch it.

We made it down to the easy part now!!!!

Anyone looking for a good 6x6 motorhome?

Cyndy got a picture of me playing on the log pile in the 4x4 area.

One down a hole bunch more to do some other day.  Tomorrow we are going to get up and enjoy the day and sun with a little bit of geocaching.  The weather is getting warm and by Friday it is going to be in the mid 80's, just right!!!!!  Tomorrow it is going to be just about 80.  Look out we are going Geocaching tomorrow!!!!!
