Had a blast with a fun group at TDA V until I broke a tooth (unrelated to riding) and had to bail. At least I got in 1 1/2 days of riding in....lots of sand and water. Life jackets should be standard issue for off-roading down there! :ricky:

Was Bob ever found after going " down... deep"???

Thanks for sharing the pictures. Looks like a great ride, wish I had made it.

Yeah, Bob and his machine were rescued by on-lookers. Bob was fine, although soaked, but his KLR had to have a hydro-ectomy and that took about a half hour or so.


:poke1: He needs to wear floaties or pass a YMCA swim class before attempting to cross water holes like that.
