Camping in Nevada

During Spring break in March we went camping with about 40 people at Rawhide Hot Springs, which is about an hour and a half off the main road near Fallon, Nevada. It is truly secluded....no one around for miles. We circled our trailers and had a great old time! Jay set up a tent shower with hot water, and Bruce arranged all of the food and cooking (we took turns helping). Russ even set up a kitchen sink! So we were pretty high class for roughing it! this is most of the bikers when we went on our ride of the Narrows.

This is the "Narrows." I heard about how pretty this ride was two years ago, but couldn't go because it is too hard of a ride. This year I was able to ride with my friend, Candy, in her new "Razor." That's me in the lime green helmet! We look like Martians!

Dale and Lynn looking like real riders! Dale is....I'm just a faker! Just give me a four wheeler and I will tackle the baby hills!

This isn't even my bike, but I couldn't resist the matching colors! Ha ha.

In February we went on a cruise tp Belize, Costa Maya & Cozumel with many of Dale's friends that he grew up with in Canada. It was wonderful!
