San Diego'09

We went on a little trip down to San Diego. We go down to the dessert and play around and then go to Motor Cross on Saturday. I had been waiting for this trip for a while, warm weather, no work, and no wedding planning. Just playing around being lazy. We finally made it Tuesday afternoon, after driving all night, getting stuck in a blizzard and ice storm. We gat all set up and headed out on our first ride of the trip. We went out to a place called the Reef. It is a tall sand hill will steep climbs up the front for the bikes. Around the side you can go up top with the Rhinos. I was watching Cody, J and Burk. I decided to go with Cody I fallowed him up the side one top no problems. Then I started down I turned trying to miss a rock on the left hand side and hit the right ledge, Which then tipped me to the left and then rolling over and around. When I finally stop rolling and screaming Cody was there he had watched the whole thing. I was hanging by my seatbelt. By this time everyone was headed up they saw Cody drop his bike, which means bad news. The guys had to tip it back up. The best part was I was headed down hill and by the time I was done rolling it was facing uphill. I got in and drove it down we were all there talking about what happened. My left foot and ego were all that got injured. Cody then asked everyone to leave he wants to have a word with his fiancĂ©. I was worried. Not really we were both shaken up. I was fine we went on with the day. The next morning my foot would not fit in my shoe and I couldn’t put any weight on it. I tried to get back in bed and could not. We then decided I needed to have it looked at I was worried it was broken and all I could think about is having crutches at my wedding. We drove 30-45 min to Browley the next town. In the ER they took X- rays. The doctor said it was just really buries he had the radiologist look at it cause of the way my foot looked. I was relieved. I then felt stupid for going in. Up to this point I hadn’t called my mom. I had to for the insurance I was a little nerves. She was not happy after she found out I was okay. She is claiming I am not allowed to go any more. (our first ER visit together)
I forgot to mention last year I rolled the 4-wheeler.
We got back to camp and things were good I just walked funny. I had crutches but I didn’t use them much. That day we went on a long ride it was so fun. I love it out there I had been grounded from diving at this point. We were headed in to camp and I was riding with Meg in the Rhino. She got a little to excited and turned way to sharp. I know as soon as she turned we where going over. We tipped over sliding on the ground. The cooler in the back spilled all over and a can broke open and was spraying me in the face. Once again I was there stuck by my seat belt getting sprayed in the face. I was fine I just climbed out. All the guys came running over and picked the Rhino up. The rest of the trip was great no major drama.Cody had found the perfect jump for the Rhino and was having so much fun. I decided not to join him with my luck this weekend. The things they do worry me. He will do any thing.


We cleaned up Friday morning headed in to San Diego. We headed in and cleaned up the best part a hot long shower. We went to dinner, and to Dave and Buster. It was colder than I wanted. We still went and tailgated, for a while. We took a blanket in and sweatshirts so help with the chill. It was a lot of fun I don’t know much about it all but I fake it. I know who is winning, losing and watch the crashes.

I loved the vacation but was ready to come home. We were doing good we got up and headed home. We got to LV around 5 stopped for food and potty break. Then back on the road. About 45 min out we blow a trailer tire. From here it all gets worse. The spare was flat we plow it up with a small bike pump, and then it had a hole. We made it to Mesquite but it was Sunday night at 8 no one was open and the tire was not fixable. WE called some roadside repair guy to come fix it, which cost more than I should have. I felt bad for Cody he was so tired by this point I tried my hardest to stay awake with him. We got home at 330 in the morning it took 191/2 hours to get home.
If you read all this I am surprised and it sounds like it had a great trip but really I had a great time I just thought it was funny how things turned out. I can’t wait till out next adventure.
