    Time to catch up on this trip report, I'm a few behind ;) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Two hours of pavement later I roll into my favorite border town, not really on the border but only 4 miles off. I connect with friends and they invite me to do a...

    I was there to work . . . on MY rig! Besides, I can't seem to get my buddy to quit his job, so I'm bored during the week. also needed something to do between the micro-brews ;)

    Riding the Draggin'

    Not long after I got here the weather decided to give me the chance test out some, slightly more, extreme conditions. It snowed, . . . and froze, off and on for a few days . . . , I came here to be warm! :evil: So I picked up a $8 terracotta, unglazed, flower pot. It helps, and yes I have...

    Riding the Draggin'

    After pulling the filter it ran great! :twisted: I headed toward, so called, "civilization" as the day-star moved closer to the horizon. My goal was to get as close to town as possible, and yet still have room to park-up for the night, . . . and do it before dark . . . I don't trust those...

    Riding the Draggin'

    A day later I was parked up on the east-side of a small gathering not far east of the Colorado River. On the way here, in the middle of the "120 miles, no service" zone, I passed an officer who had pulled a crotch-rocket over going the other way (he was prob getting a "No Flying" ticket). We...

    The trick w/ the camo is to use your local colors. The She Beast has the same MERDC pattern but she has more of the brown and sand, mine has more sand and rust(?) w/ brown being the 3rd color. You could do green / red / brown, I've seen them, or just paint it up desert style and move ;)

    Thanks, I will.:beer: Prob w/ those air mattresses is that I don't like the cheap ones, and can't afford the good ones ;) I did add more blankets, and a couple sheep skins on the pallet B-)

    Riding the Draggin'

    Now I needed to make the pump & filter set-up work. I started by pulling the 24v pump off the trailer, along w/ one (of three) filter bases. I figured that I could get by w/ just the one water block filter for this trial. Worst would be that I clog my primary up w/ crud, in fact I was figuring...

    Riding the Draggin'

    Tuff needed some alone time to create more beautiful things, and I needed to do some work on "MY" rig. So I'm out here on a solo trip. I've done so much work on the She Beast over the last few years, and then I realized one day . . . I'm a dependent! All the fuel processing set-up was on her...
