A New Way To See The Desert….The Razor ATV

For years we have wanted to check out the world of riding ATVs so now that we are in the desert of Southern California/Arizona we decided to give it a try. The folks at Steve’s ATV rental were awesome and honest. They had us wait a few days after a rain storm as the muddy sand would have made for a tougher ride. We listened but still found plenty of mud on our ride day. This was Laurie’s unofficial birthday present so she got to do much of the driving. The desert wildlife got quite an earful as we bounced across the sand dunes……”serioulsy….Oh shit….slow down a bit…..keep it in the desert….can I drive?”

Cool looking ATV chick eh?

Just as we pulled out of the rental lot Laurie got to spread her ATV wings. Notice how clean the ATV is at this point.
Sometimes the track was very easy to navigate but…..
Other times you just have to take IT when you come to a fork in the desert.
A couple of nice folks offered to take our picture at one of the watering holes in the desert where ATVers congregate. Getting a bit muddy at this point!

This meeting spot was near a geothermal anomaly called a “mud pot”. Not very interesting after touring Yellowstone earlier but the crowd was very entertaining.
This was not the only rig we saw waving a large American flag but this one was also waiving a huge Trump flag also. Not sure Mr. Trump has ever been in the desert?
As we started to bog down with mud we both figured it would be my turn to drive a bit.
Don’t think I look quite as cool as Laurie but alas…..
How about this view…..Any cooler?
I did wait for Laurie after she took this picture. What beautiful scenery to ATV through.
Check out the mud splatters!
This spot was called the “Pumpkin patch”. Laurie thinks she looks like an alien. What do you think?
The folks at Steve’s gave us an extra half hour to get even muddier. He just shook his head after he took our picture and surveyed the mud caked onto the vehicle.
