Ocotillo – Great Success!

IMG_1472

My vacation has been a great success so far. Have been spending time with my family, friends, offroading, biking, relaxing, ahhh so nice. Over the past weekend, I headed out to Ocotillo Wells, CA with Ryan, Jen, Jen’s Mom & Dad and a few others that showed up as well. Polaris was nice enough to loan me a 2010 RZR-S for the trip so I could join in the fun. Ryan’s new RZR-S was fresh out of the fab shop just in time for the run. The TIG welding is impeccable on it! We put in well over 200 miles on the trails, deep fried 2 turkeys, lit of fireworks, burned 3 Xmas trees, it was an amazing weekend…

Preview of Ryan’s new cage built my Latest Concepts and Designs. Wait til you see the finished product. Gorgeous TIG welds all around. You won’t find another side by side cage of this quality that’s bolt-on.

Ocotillo is a playground for side by sides. It’s the perfect vehicle for this area. Its small enough you can take it in all the tight washes, nimble enough to go anywhere fast and totally comfortable and safe.

One of our stops was the Blair Witch Piles. These rock formations were everywhere, we’re talking 100’s of them!

Joanna and Cameron came out as well with their race bikes ready to thrash some dirt. We did a good job of trying to keep up with them.

The Pumpkin Patch is pretty well known for OCO regulars. 100’s of round rocks scattered everywhere like a garden. That’s our RZR-S posse behind with Joanna and Cameron on their bikes.

Another amazing weekend in the books. I can’t thank Ryan and Jen enough for letting me crash in their mobile condo, bringing my RZR out for me and showing me a great time. You guys are the best! Let’s setup another trip soon!
