Ocotillo Wells is nowhere near as good as Truckhaven Hills.
From base camp it's a 5-10 minutes ride to the first hill climb.
I really hope they get the restrictions lifted on organized groups.

Thje winds were ferocious Saturday night.
We almost lost a tent because the dinky stakes it came with wouldn't
hold in the sandy soil.

Out of a cluster of 6 winning raffle numbers, my number was the only
one that DIDN'T win. grrrrrr. I really wanted a roof rack and the
winner was one number off from mine :(

All went well during the excursion, and I even finished the whole
route this time (!), but on the road home my friend and I BOTH got
flat tires :/

I might post pictures once I get copies from the friend who took most
of them. I advise when the time comes.

That's all for now <g>.
