One of my favorite places

 Me and the Jackson moto boys had always talked about putting together a 10  plus day trip down to the desert and this was the year we made it happen.  In spring's past, we would normally go down 2 if not 3 times down south to ride, get out of the snow, etc.  The travel back and forth is a bit of a drag, so, this spring we opted to just say a whole week and bookend it with a coupe of weekends.  This  recipe for fun might just have to stick around.  The first weekend we rode one of my favorite places to ride anywhere, the San Rafael Swell.  We camped in our normal spot and rode all of our favorite epic rides.  

Camp, looking to the north.  The "Swell" is so awesome because you never see another person besides those in your own group riding down there.

 Scuba Steve making the transition from sled to moto look pretty seamless!

 Doesn't get a whole lot better.  Warm weather, a big ol moto posse amazing trails.

Fires down in the Swell tend to be on the large side of things.  
 
 Some of the Jackson crew brought down a toy hauler that had a pressure washer attached to it.  PRetty sweet to be able to clean your motos while drinking a cold beer and watching the sunset.

Ahh, my favorite trail down there and the only one that we know of that is actually named.  "Odd's Trail" you never let us down for your sheer brute, fun, and techy-ness.
