There's an abandoned airfield out this way. It's eerily quiet walking around there. I really want to take a ride down to the Boneyard on Davis Monthan AFB in Tuscon. It's less than a two hour ride. Hopefully this fall when Nugget is a little older older.

I just noticed that in the second picture you can see the DR off in the background.
 Not very conducive to a CHINA bike forum, huh?

Nice Marin! Especially for an 02' model. Here's a pic of my GT

Marin was definitely at the top of the game when they built those bikes. A lot of companies followed their lead including Jamis. This is a pic of my 1st 6" bike. Jamis Dakar that I handed down to my son and he still rides it hard. It was built over 10 years ago which is considered old in the mtn bike world especially after what I put it thru��

Oh, you youngsters with your fancy mountain bikes. This doubled as a mountain bike when I was a kid. And we liked it.
  Man, what a heavy beast.

Have. I have the fancy 66 year old bike. Couldn't afford it when I was a kid. Heck, couldn't afford the air in the tires back then.

 you can keep all the fancy multi link stuff and "brain" suspension (yes im talking to you Specialized) just give me a decent single pivot with decent shocks and i am happy.... you get to feel the connection to the trail unlike the new crud that takes all the guesswork out of it.... rode my buddies newer specialized, and it scared me... the threshold between in control and in a tree is a very VEEERRRRRRYYYYYYY fine line.... when it let go it let go completely.... not gradual and controlled like my bike....

Made a Bigfoot this weekend to mount on a stump out by the road.
Yes, we're one of "those" neighbors.

The Mrs. and I have spotted a "BigFoot" (or cousin) in the wild one night driving back home from a late night working at the Black Cat/Pyro City Fireworks Store... It's kind of hard to miss a 9+ foot tall, matted up fur ball crouching down trying to "blend" into the surrounding ditch as we fly past going 65 mph... we both said/asked at the same time "Did you just see that?!?"... and yes... we both did just see that
