We took a little tour of the desert today. We went with new friends from Florida, Joe and Lindsay who own a big purple rail and a big house; Ken, our tae-kwon-doe friend we met last year, and his jeep and then there was us in our little Tracker. I can see why people buy those buggies, they go like light through the desert, through the sand and over the bumps. We did too, but a little slower. Maybe that’s a good thing?
This picture on the left is a little desert scenery. You don’t have to look too far to find a burned out vehicle in the desert.
We met a couple, Don and Vi Benson, from Edmonton who have a winter home here. He builds these dune buggies, 3 per year while he‘s here. We spend quite a bit of time with them and Michel enjoys helping him out in his huge mechanical shop. Apparently he has an identical shop at home. Anyway, next time in the desert we’ll be going with him and using one of his buggies. I’ll let you know what that is like.

Happy New Year
It was a quiet one this year...sounds like you guys had a good time. The dune buggies sound like they would be alot of fun..no wild riding tricks though Sandy you know what happened with the ATV's. Anyways sounds like you are having a good time. The weather here has been horrible, the worst winter I have seen here in the Okanagan. I would prefer to be there battling the winds than here battling the snow and cold. Take care talk to you soon.
