The first thing we did when arriving in Dell City was to get a fill-up. We'll be in the wilderness a tetch, and there won't be another chance to tank up until we get to Weed, New Mexico.
And we're off!

The nice thing about riding in deep loose sand is that you have a nice soft landing.
旅行者Nothing damaged or injuries I hope. Well - I have no idea how it is riding in such. But can imagine not so easy even you are alone on your bike. And you are full scale :).
2haraldsAll's well. Haukur is an amazing driver. I don't care so much for the slipping and sliding, but I'm working on it.
旅行者I know he is. Sometimes I am a bit jealous ;). But no experience without riding. :). (A long way to go though)
