Terra Del Sol Safari 2005

We headed for Terra Del Sol's Safari 2005. I first saw it last year when I climbed Whale Peak. Hundreds and Hundreds of offroad vehicles. An incredible sight and a incredible event. That we attended this year.

I went to it and enjoyed it. Those kinds of events don't suit me well though. I like smaller events and runs with 5 or less vehicles. That's when I have the most fun. My favorite event was Panamint Valley Days. Its smaller and doesn't seem to attract the dumbasses that make it to the big one.

Cool pics, welcome aboard. I moved this thread to the "trail reports" forum.

Thanks Sarah, I am glad you enjoyed them. I will find the trail reports forum and post the future trips there.

StormTrooper, smaller groups have a lot more advantages. But it was cool to see a large event up close and to be apart of it for the first time.

Did you happen to see us there, WLD? Or the Rock-It Man booth - were you one of the ones we talked to by chance?

I always enjoy your pictures. It helps with the girlfriend because your including flowers in your pictures helps me to get her out on the the trail too.

As a funny aside, when I left TDS early Saturday morning, I took a detour through Ocotillo OHV. (I had to find some geocaches.) I went up Devil's Slide which it appears your group had fun going down too. But as I made it to the top of the hill the few quads and motorcycles that were right there started clapping. I think it surprised them to see a jeep instead of a sand toy.

Sarah, I am sorry, I did not have the pleasure of seeing you guys. Nor did I have the opportunity to check out any of the vendor or display booths. Next year I will make time. After we left TDS and the Truckhaven area, we took off across the desert, heading in a round about way to Borrego Springs for some Mexican Food, the little place in town has large portions of excellent food for a good price. I wish I had, checked out the booths. Next time, I will check around for you all next time and the Rock-it Man booth.

dhsundance, It is good to know people like the trip reports and pictures and that they get some use out of them. I know why the OHV's were clapping, that is impressive, for you to have driven up it. I tried on a previous trip at least a half dozen times, as well as many in or group, I always dug into the sand just below the upper dirt section. I am going to have to try that again, next time I am there.
