The October Club Run to the Mojave Natl Preserve made history on several levels - it was the longest running and had the most surprises! I can't tell you how much FUN I had!!! While I am adding a link to my photos, these were before lunch and before ALL the surprises! I expect others to add their photos, too. Can't wait to see them! http://community.webshots.com/album/561122763NzKmSu Thanks to EVERYONE who came with such an adventurous spirit, and especially to Bob who lead this great day and arranged the surprises!! Oh, and thanks, Mac, for being the lights in front of me in that amazing dust storm on the way out of Searchlight....now THAT was also a surprise! |

i did not take as many pics as usual... these guys were on the move around 4pm..hard to see the trail goes around the tree... The Rubi Curse...starts with Bob Lucy was in perfect position to extract the stuck Rubi. the road was washed out (not Bob`s fault) Lucy exiting the same location...road is washed away lots more careful crossings ...sorry did not capture pics this was the view almost back to searchlight..the wind was strong no pics of the ride home...to busy navigating the road with wind the ride back to Vegas was incredible ...at times we had to slow to 2mph could not see anything. the road was blocked at the turnoff in Boulder city they should have blocked the road in Searchlight.. (Intense wind was part II of the Rubi Curse) on a scale of 1 to 10... i rate this Oct club run a 10 for the Fun the company and scenery Thanks to All that made this an awesome day! |

WHAT A GREAT RUN! Lots of fun and (as Lucy calls them) Surprises. The only bummer was the dust storm at the dry lake bed. I must have been just in front of Lucy and Mac. Also got home around 10:00. Thanks Bob! |

I didn't see any curse. Since this is a teaching club, sometimes you have to be willing to show "what not to do" and proper recovery techniques. Yes, that's my story and I'm sticking to it. |

Thanks for such an adventure Bob! Great run. And thanks for the couch. Great teamwork and positive attitudes made for a wonderful day. Grats to Lucy for earning her Rescue Ranger badge. Bonus points for rescueing the trail boss. There was nothing but good remarks and support so Bob is off the hook for the "surprizes". Besides, the guidlines say a club run is limited to a 2.5, this was just a really tough 2.5 Can't wait to read the trail boss report on how you "Meant to do that" |
