Ok two river trips two weekends in a row. Drove down to my place to meet up with my bro from OC Sat morning. Watched the Best In The Desert Races right behind my place for like 3 hours. It was really cool and a few of the guys were really hauling butt!!! Then drove out to a site in the desert, where a plane had crashed, just after taking off from Parker Airport. I had heard about the crash but never was sure where it was and found it today. I was amazed to see all the flowers at the crash site. Also got to see some of the big off-road trucks praticing for the Parker 400 today. That was very cool! Can't wait for that big race in Feb!!! Here's the link to my photos this passed weekend.River Trip/Parker Strip Jan 10th - Jan 11th 2004

We were coming from the casino on the paved road just taking off on to the dirt road that the car in the pic is coming down, he flew off the paved road on the left side and started to go end over end, he went right between the telephone poles and stop on the other side of that fence in thing...

well that's good, he's ok! I'll have to walk over there next time I'm there to see if I can see any evidence of the crash.
look like he made the turn a little early scott.well hopefully he will be ok and maybe he has learned a lesson that just because it has roll bars dosent mean you can drive like a bat out of hell.i heard the guy is a little crazy in that thing.

I can't understand how he crashed that thing so hard. he must had been really hauling ass, like full throttle and on top of that not knowing the terrain very well!
