PICS: Red Sands El Paso!!!!!

[mingez]

Here is are some pics from my recent trail ride to Red Sands just outside of El Paso. Me in "6 Pack" , my buddy Omar in his Blazer, and my friends Rudy and Saul with sons. Very good time, especially with the kiddos.
I thought some of you East Coasters, and Midwest folks might like a change of environment. :wink:


And we're off! Shot thru my windsheild, the Desert around EP is very strange, anything can pop up.

Destination in site.

Time to leave the Kiddos with Dad so we can do some playing!! That mountain in the background has some treacherous trails etc.

Cool shot of my XJ and Omar's Blazer. (Yucca plant in foreground, those things are everywhere)

6 Pack in all her glory atop a red dune.

Nice pic's Mingez! It must be nice to go wheelin' and not have to change every fluid in your Jeep! That place looks awesome.

Thats a 1980 blazer huh!

 

[mingez]

jps4jeep, 1983 Blazer to be exact. It's very worthy (but I beat em on the hill climbs all the time. (my horn: "Toot toot"! :lol:

Yeah guys the sand is pretty cool to wheel on. It's almost as fine as the gypsum up at white sands (you know, where the H Bomb was tested) It's nice because the ride is soooooo smooth, makes it tough to get up the smallest dune, but it's like surfin' with your Jeep!! Really cool.

Next trip is up to white sands. Will post pics if my camera can handle all of the light.

Johnny, I am on crack, you are right... it's an 80. I'm not up on my blazers evidentally. I asked him today at work. I guess that's the ONLY year that grill was used. Nice job.

Laura LOL, wicked beautiful it is... but come May, it'll be wicked hot!!

Graewulf, San Antonio only 18 hours away. Let me know dude we'll wheel!!!

Sully, I tried, but that sand is sooo loose. I'll try harder next time.

Laneiac, Thanks for the compliment my man.

I may be a jeeper, but I will always be a chevy man at heart.

My first truck was a 77 blazer, accually I still have it (hasn't moved in 8 years though.) I love Chevy's, at one point I owned 4 gm's
