totally addicted. This is the first one I've participated in and it even made me join the group!

I lived in the Anza-Borrego one summer. I was camping at a small private resort where some friends were the year-round custodians. I was homeless and going to the desert got me out of greater San Diego... camped out in my little SUV for the whole summer. I wasn't the only one there camping out under the trees, the others had some off-road machines and we toured that whole area over the summer. We would get our motocross gear on, walk through the swimming pool and get all drenched helmets, boots and all, jump on the machines and go touring until the bandannas were dry. That was the sign it was high time to turn back.

End of summer came and I migrated to the northern Rockies, can't handle heat above +75F after that. And I don't mind eight feet of snow at all, which is what we've got a good start on right now. Landlord has had to plow twice already today.
