UXOC annual Pony Express Run happened yesterday as planned.
Wonderful weather for the day.
Left at 8am and got home at 10pm, 403 miles total for me. Long day but a nice drive, and we just beat a big storm home in the process.
At the gas station, Everybody was heading out into the desert. ATV's, motorcycles, Rovers, Cherokees and wranglers. Several groups besides us heading out.
Chevron meeting place in Lehi.
Stopping to air down tires past Camp Floyd after leaving pavement
maxterra while still reasonably clean
On Poser hill by Faust, Maxx in front of maxterra
The pet cemetary at Faust (creepy). Run away!
KUMA throwing mud on me
Xterra's across the desert plain
From Simpson Springs, looking out across the desert into Dugway Proving grounds, reportedly the "NEW" area 51 (cue X-FIles music in background). Didn't see any of the reported UFO's anywhere (that I can remember...) Hey! Where did part of the day go?? Hurts to sit down... ARGGHHH:0mg:
Those stories are bogus! Not even so much as a black helicopter following us.... OH CRAP! What's that!!!! :0mg::eeks:
Actually, the Copter appeared to be herding wild horses
Simpson Springs Pony Express Station (note recreated building in background). With fresh water rare across the desert, a natural fresh-waer spring such as this one was a valuable find.
Xterras climbing off the desert floor up across Dugway mtn
A natural hot spring out near Fish Springs Wildlife Refuge.
Climbed up the mountain to an old mining area for a spectacular xterra panorama
Near Gold Hill, clearing a u1000 trouble code (don't leave home w/o a scan tool!).
Gold Hill Mercantile. I think it's closed today..
