Awesome, you've probably seen all kinds of cool stuff down there.
Baja 1000 and Dakar right around the corner. Gives a guy from Kentucky something to look forward to for the first half of winter.

Just hit a search on you-tube for Robbie Gordon

I met him one time at Glamis, testing out a new off-road truck suspension, > Super-Cool guy, with a bunch of other moto-X guys, just blasting around during the un crowded mid week. It was a great to meet everybody and shake their hands, he was blasting around in 50 square miles of desert, like he was in a tiny sandbox..... It was awesome !

Only problem I'm having so far is keeping up with my car keys,,damn,,they could wind up just about anywhere. Just got a spare key made to keep in my billfold because I will not spend time looking for lost keys,,I'll run across them sooner or later,,probably later. :muhaha:
