I'd KILL to have a place like that to ride/drive! Yeah it was pretty nice at that. Yes we drove down the road to the end and then back again.

Aside from the wind.. it's nice up there compared to LA. ;) Yes it did. It was very interesting terrain up there. Then we went up into the mountains on the way back too. Of course we got turned around a couple f times for closed roads on some of the higher elevations. -> > I think it was I-15 that was closed for the snow -> -> Yep.. heard about it after you left.. :/. -> -> > and we ended up going via I-10, 95 N, and the I-40 to the Canyon. -> Nope bad.. 10 is an easier drive then 15. Yeah as it turned out it was a pretty good route. Saw all of them windmills out in the desert too. Damn they have a bunch of them out there. --- PCBoard (R) v15.3/M 2 * Origin: Home of Malla, the spoiled Norwegian Fjord (1:2613/128) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 243 HORSES Ref: E2300008 Date: 02/02/97 From: MIKE MAY Time: 07:28am \/To: BOB KOHL (Read 1 times) Subj: Re: brief note -> > Good glad to hear she is doing ok. -> -> Well, last I talked to her was brief!
