 Remember this pic, we are the white RV in the center, all alone.
 We are still there, but hardly alone anymore.
 The 'Big Tent' is in the center, notice all the cars and trucks in the wash going from side to side, below the white tent.  It was funny watching the people in the wash get stuck in the gravel.  After all, it is a desert wash.  Never drive a vehicle in a wash.  Sometimes even with 4 wheel drive people got stuck.  Someone even drove a camper in the wash.  They spent the night there waiting for a tow truck.
You are looking at Kuehn Rd and all the vendors.  See all the vehicles in the wash.  This was the day the 'big tent' opened.  We decided to take a quad ride.  It was wall to wall people in the tent and along all roads.  On I95 the traffic was backed up about 2 miles from town in all directions.
 Beyond is the trail up to the summit of Razor Back Mountain.
 Here are some of the jeeps assending to the a peak along the trail.
 Looking back to where we started some 1000 ft altitude below.
 The jeeps meeting at one of the wide spots for passing.  Terry just rounded the corner on the right.  We passed the jeeps at this point.
 This is a short video of the climb up a hill. Not sure it took.  I am still learning about the camera.
 We have reached the summit and are watching the jeeps climb up on the left side of the pic.
 A better pic of the jeeps climbing up the hill.

 One of the most unusual rock formations on the other side of the mountain on the way down.
This is the trail we took last year and could not find the trail to Razor Back.  The hill pictured was extremely steep and washed out in places.  A difficult downhill ride.

 Tonight it started like this.  See 'the' big tent.
              And it progresses.........
At the end the sky lights up.  Pretty amazing. It was 65 degrees.
A Sunday afternoon play pen for jeeps. We drove around 30 miles today just going up and down trails looking for nothing in particular.  No jackets today. 75 degrees.
 Of course the pic does not show just how steep this area is.
              This one was so close to falling off the ledge.

 We are the white RV in the center of this pic. We do have neighbors to our right.  All alone.....
 Terry walking down Q mountain.  Our quads are on a level spot between the top of the hill and the bottom.  In the distance at the top left corner is another trail. 
 One of the cabins built by a craftsman.  The owner used the unroofed cabin as a workshop to make ironwood bowls and lamps.
 Apache Chief cabin tucked in between the hills.  It has been kept up through the years.  People leave 'gifts' inside, bottles, books, hats, broken chairs.  A gathering place for people today.
 A chipmunk at Dripping Springs. Yes, water really does drip out of the cliffs.  Another place of interest along the trails.
 A group gathers for lunch at the Apache Chief cabin.  Another pic above.
 A view of us from Q mountain.  We are in the top vacant area just below the hills in the background.  See previous pic.
 The 'Big' 50K sq ft tent has arrived. The show begins around the 19th of Jan.
 Rocks for the farm in Ky.  See not too many.  Yet!!
One of my favorite rocks. And it IS heavy.  Oops, don't let Terry hear this.
