well i just got back and it was really fun, got there late friday nite but the moon was full so the whole desert was really bright throughout the whole night, almost light enough to ride a bike. it was really cool. saturday we went from ocotillo wells to superstision mountain (for those of you who are farmiliar with the area) and returned later that afternoon. All in all the trip was really fun but took a good toll on our trucks

damage count:
me:
-seperated my front shock from the resivoir, upper arm hit the elbow that connects the shock to the resivoir and sprayed all the shock oil all over the wheel well.
-somehow sheered the bolts that connected my limit strap to the lower arm

friend with ranger:
blew rear shock, broke hose that runs from tranny cooler and leaked tranny fluid everywhere

other friend with ranger:
popped a tire, destroyed a rim and deployed two airbags

all in good fun :D
