Who says Austin doesn't know how to have fun?? We had a great day on Monday. We took the bikes and went down by Mesquite Nevada and spent the day riding. We found some really cool metal corigated tunnels that run underneath I-15, from one side to the other. They were about 12 foot in diameter and about 150 yards long. They only have water in them when it rains for days at a time so they were dry and empty. It was very dark inside and you could only see the pin hole of light of the other end. We wanted to get to the otherside of the freeway so some one had to go first. I had headlights on the four wheeler so I was chosen to go "first". I took off into the tunnel with Mel, Josh, Andy and Austin behind me. I made it through OK but it was a little scary. All that was running through my mind was what I would do if there was someone living in there. We were lucky, there wasn't. I made it out the other side, then Josh, Andy and Austin. Where was Mel??? Appearantly, he got a little dizzy riding in the pitch black and kinda hit the side of the tunnel. To give you a visual, think of the noise it makes when you drive off the side of the road a little and you hit those little divets in the road that wake up you up. That's what Mel was doing along the side of the tunnel he side swiped.
He showed up soon and only had a few little bruises just coming to the surface. We found three more tunnels and of course we had to go through them. This time I brought up the rear shining my lights behind them.... much better idea.
We also road by the river bottoms and Austin found the best mud hole.
After we finished riding we went back to the hotel and went to the pool. If was sooo nice. The weather was perfect. The boys played for a few hours in the pool and then we went to dinner.
