Glamis Baby!!!

Jared and I just spent the best weekend EVER in Glamis! :)  For those of you who have never been or heard of Glamis, it's just below Brawley, CA (which is about 30 min. above Mexico) in the Imperial Sand Dunes.  We don't have a trailer or toy hauler or anything so we just camp out in a tent which I actually really like, unless of course it's windy, and then sand gets everywhere.  So anyway, we left for Glamis after work on Thursday and we didn't get down there until about 1 in the morning (we left late).  When we got there we started a fire and then positioned flashlights so we could see what we were doing while we set up our tent. 

On Friday we slept in until about 8, which is about as late as you can sleep in with all of the quads and dirt bikes riding around.  So we got up and went for a ride.  I learned how to ride a quad now! :)  Jared taught me how to jump it and how to go around the bowls and everything.  I even did a couple of wheelies but those weren't on purpose... but Jared said I looked like I knew what I was doing so that's what counts right?  Friday was PERFECT weather, it was in the 70's with a slight breeze and not a cloud in the sky.  We went on a couple of long rides on Friday and took a 2 hour nap in the middle of the day :) how often can I get away with that one?  Um, like never, which is why I just had to!  Friday night we had hobo dinners and made some smores and watched fireworks.  Since Glamis is in the middle of no where a lot of people bring down the big fireworks and shoot them off.  I love it! 

Saturday consisted of pretty much the same thing but we did about twice as much riding as we did on Friday and it was windy windy windy.  I looked at the weather report when we got back and it said that winds got up to 27 mph.  That's pretty freaking fast!  Especially when your in the desert where there aren't really any trees to shield you from the wind.  Our poor tent is a little bent out of shape but at least it stayed on the ground!  Then on Sunday we went on a 2 hour ride before heading back.  Overall I think we rode for about 10 hours and my body is feeling it!  I've been so sore all week, it hurts to just raise my arms, haha.  Oh well, I guess it was a good workout then.  

Jared's already talking about planning another trip for the riding season and wants to go buy another quad.  Apparently he's giving me his quad so now he needs one, haha.  He's just really excited that we had so much fun together because Glamis is like his getaway place, his haven or sanctuary or whatever you want to call it and so he's super stoked that it's something that I like to do too.  I have a feeling that I'm going to get to know Glamis pretty well... and I'm totally okay with that. :)
