North west of Yuma

An annual, yet unofficial, Christmas tree burn happens just across the state line in California. For those of you who have ever been to Yuma, 15 miles west is where the Imperial Sand Dunes are located, which were featured in one of the Star Wars films (the one that wasn't filmed in Tunisia) and Scorpion King. Near there is Glamis and other riding spots.

However, if you head north out of the city, there is a long (26 miles or so) dirt road which heads to a place called Piccacho State Park. The annual burn is about 5 miles on this road, which has more rugged riding (versus sand/dunes) all around. Our friend who owns an awning/upholstery business trades work with a guy in town who runs a quad/razor/jet ski rental business, which meant 4 TRX 250 quads were 'ours' for 24 hours!

Photos to follow (although not very action oriented ones) once friend tag us in theirs. Yes, I forgot my camera...

Good quads, and nothing fell off any of them, LOL.
