Excellent pics.

BTW, would Erik happen to have been pulled over/parked on the eastbound side of I-8 just west of Ocotillo ~4:30PM Saturday?

Yeah that was him and Brian near the bottom. Erik ripped a tire. Was changing it out.

Dang it, I thought so.

I was headed east into Ocotillo on Saturday afternoon & saw 2 Jeeps off the side & could have sworn one of them was Erik but I was traveling kind of fast down the hill & wasn't sure so I kept going.

that is a damn fine picture, britan!

we were modeling that "cool-guy" russian garb for you sergey. i hope you enjoyed it

yes, joe, that sure was brian and i off to the side on the 8.
that damn tire kept spitting out the plugs. it would go a mile or so, and puke em out like a hot tongue

i'll tell you another thing....
those damn jumpin' cap jack cactuses have a nice bite to em'.
i swear it was ALIVE! it jumped on my leg and wouldnt let go.
it seemed to have injected me with something as well. i'll have to look into those a bit more to find out about them

Britain · #11 10-23-2006, 08:08 PM

I swear Erik, I couldnt find where that Cacti came from. There was nothing around! It must of bounced around that canyon looking for a ride

Watch out for hitchhikers!

NAILER341 · #12 10-23-2006, 08:37 PM

When we did the run in May, my wife got one in her arse. She was shooting Steves wife near roll over. It certainly was fun picking those thangs out

Funny aside she hurt for a while....

Hope ya doing better.

Most likely it's a variety of Cholla, pronounced "choya".

A common variety is known as the "Jumping Cholla" strictly for it's tendencies to appear to jump out of nowhere and attach itself to anything it's spines will penetrate.

I believe it's Opuntia bigelovii - commonly called a Teddybear.

if you're gonna be at JV during the Turkey Day run I'll give you some of the magic tire plugs that I got from the tireshop in Alpine ... they do stick way better than the average plug from the average tire repair packages

Cool pix BTW
