As some of you know, I have a 4 wheeler. Yes, I know it comes as a shock to others, but we do have a four wheeler!
My four wheeler is better than most, I think, as it is capable of going over 75 mph down the road, only cost $2000, 3 years ago, can be weather tight or top less and will seat up to 4 comfortably! How many can say that?
Oh, and mine will go just about any where I want to go and maybe a few places I don’t want to go!
Cindy and I try to take a day and get away by ourselves every year just before the Rally, as when it starts, she will work for 10 days, straight thru’ with no time off. A few years ago we drove thru the Black Hills and enjoyed the time together and the beauty of our close area.
I’ve always wanted to take my four wheeler, which I have named Purple, for obvious reasons, and drive thru’ the winding, twisting roads in the Black Hills. We went thru’ the Needles, the pig tail brides and tunnels and quite a few other places, yesterday. It was better than a roller coaster! We even got 35 mpg!
We had a good time and it was very relaxing, tho’ there were a few tourists who should learn to drive before they come here! Notably people from Kansas who drive red Hummers and according to one of the Park emplyee’s, all people from Ohio!
Here is a picture of my four wheeler, topless.
Here is where we were headed. Needles along Needles Hiway.
Here’s some rocks on the Needles Hiway.
More rocks in the Needles hiway.
These rocks must be real cool as there were people all along the way taking pictures. So, when in Rome……
Now it’s back to work!
Sorry Mad, no pony pix yet, but I’m working on it.

Sounds like a fun day… off and wandering the hills just the two of you! I sure miss the rally and all that goes with it. If it was up to the other half of this house he would have the motorcycle and be there… I have not agreed yet. Kids come first. So for now just the distant memories of good times in the hills and the rally. Thanks for sharing familiar scenery:)
Looks like a great way to spend a day to me! Enjoy~~
I have a red, Geo Tracker very similar to Purple that I leave in Arizona. I’m jealous of your gas mileage, though. I blamed my sorry 20mpg on the fact that it’s 4-wheel drive. I can’t do that anymore. Other than that, it is a good little vehicle. We took it 4-wheeling with a bunch of Jeep CJs in the mountains of Arizona. We went everywhere they did until it came time to crawling boulders. We didn’t have the clearance.
Love the pictures of Needles. I need to go back there.
I hope I don’t tick ya off, but I just had a vision of you & Chance or you & Mr. Blocker headin out in ole’Purple to do a circle…….I can’t stop laffin….it puts a whole new meanin to the “cowboy image”…….
Well Mr Hooks, you just might be amazed what a good hand I can be when drivin’ Purple. 😉
I have used him some this summer to doctor cattle with my crossbow and Medidart. It gets a little wild at times, but what the heck a good hand gets the job done…..however he can! 🙂
