Year 6: Out to Sea - Nikki

Madness still rules my days.  Today it started with a hike to the lake. I thought they were being nice by taking me to see the lake. I was wrong. Little did I know but I would soon find out it was their madness once again. Later in the day they took me back to the lake,  but this time they brought two large yellow things that they inflated with air.  Mom gets in her boat and begins to paddle away.  Then the next thing I know I'm being grabbed by dad and being tossed in with mom!!!  They took me out to the middle for God only knows why but since there were other people in real boats about they didn't do anything other than float in the sun. They seemed relaxed but I was in fear of my claws puncturing this yellow balloon at anytime.  Pure madness... the horror the horror.....

Day 1: Learning curve & Swerve - Kevin

Thursday June 4 CRAP! Best way of describing our first day, a long day. We did a shake down ride a week or so prior to this trip and knew things weren't perfect with the truck/trailer combo. We had problems with the handling of the trailer at speeds over 60 mph but thought it was manageable at a lower speed. Well on our shake down ride we had loaded the motorcycles and the generator, but once fully loaded things got worse. Stopped at a Lowes and bought 6 bags of gravel to help distribute the weight better, it was an improvement, but not great. After 8 hours we bought 4 more bags and that was a major improvement. Stayed at Bootheel camp ground in Missouri, the reviews said peaceful and quite. Not sure where that reviewer lives but we are a couple hundred yards from an interstate hwy, maybe the constant sounds of semis through the night was their idea of peaceful white noise. Diamond bound in the morning! Stephanie plans on finding one bigger than the Hope Diamond.

Day ???? - Nikki

I have no idea what the idiots are up to today!  Woof!  I'm tired of being put into the back seat and only being able to see 1/4" above the window, haven't these morons heard of booster seats?  I don't know how much longer of this riding around for hours, being brought out into the sun and fresh air only for a few minutes at a time, and them demanding that I "Go Potty".  I'm about ready to call PETA!  Wait, my paws are too fat to dial, can someone call PETA for me please?  In the meantime, I'll continue to thrill them when I pee and poop.  Someone, please help!!

Day 15 - Miles of Adventures

Today started out with an outing on back dirt roads to see the Mexican Hat up close and personal.   We were hoping to be able to ride down to the San Juan River, but the descent was very steep with loose sand.   We did get to the back side of the Mexican Hat though. After that on to the Valley of the Gods!   WONDERFUL RIDE!!!   The road through the valley was as perfect as we could ask for for a dirt/sand road.   There was one time when my back wheel got a little squirrely on me in deep sand.   I was to blame because I was riding in Ray Charles mode (swinging head left and right to catch all the sights) and didn’t pay attention to my immediate surroundings.    It was very deep sand!   But I made it and Kevin following made it through with no problems.   Valley of the Gods is beyond words to describe!   I’m so disappointed that my “go pro” camera was not rolling as we drove through the valley.   I thought I’d turned it...
