I’m going to try to catch up, in no particular order about some of the Vaguely interesting stuff that Lorna and I have been up to. The first thing that pops into my head is Ethan and I rented a dune buggy from a random guy that Ethan found on craigslist. After a bit of difficulty finding the guy and signing a waiver (that I personally found to be a little weak compared to other waivers I’ve seen) we set to work dutifully testing the limits of the machine.
I was concerned before we started that dune buggy riding might be one of those activities that sounds extremely fun, but that just doesn’t really live up to expectations, but those concerns turned out to be unfounded. The “track” (a random dirt path in the desert) gave a nice mix of twists and turns, rolling “dunes,” and straight always with little jumps. Over the course of the two hours we quickly went through the three stages of thrill riding: 1. Oh my god this thing is crazy, we’re going to die! 2. Yeah! This is so much fun! 3. Damnit, why won’t this thing go faster!
Anyway, it’s definitely on the list of fun thing to do in the desert for people thinking about visiting sunny Tucson (and my neurologist assures me that the fact I started getting Transverse Myilitis the next day was a complete coincidence…).
Here's a quick clip, you definitely have to be on it to get the full effect though.
