Here are a bunch of pictures from our trip to Ocotillo. we had a blast we were there Wednesday to Saturday night. Hope you enjoy the pictures. Oh, they are out of order AGAIN!! I hope someday I will remember to post the opposite from what you think it will be.
Saturday Tom took us to the Honda Monument and the toilet. So strange to see this in the middle of the desert.
My dad riding the Honda monument. This is a fun one to ride too.
Amy my quad girl.
The entire camp rode to Telephone, which is on the top of a hugh mountain. I stayed back with Hannah and my mom, because it was a long ride and that allowed for others to go that otherwise would not have been able. ( Extra seats in our ranger and in my dad's rhino)
Amy and Jorden playing dirt bakery. Yummy
This is the Salton Sea. Tom took us right up to it. It is pretty gross and smells bad. Dead fish every where. I guess the salt and pesticides are so high not much can live in it other then Tilapia. They die off eventually, but fresh water runs into and brings new fish.
The gang
Tom holding a dead fish!! YUCK
My dad and Hannah sharing an apple.
Amy and Hannah ready to ride.
Clean up time, I put Hannah in a tub in the sink and let her play. She loves bath time.
The gang at the "pumpkin patch" this is really something cool to see. The rocks look like pumpkins. The wind and water erode them in this area and makes them look like pumpkin patch.
My girls sitting on a pumpkin rock!
This is weird, its a mud hole in the middle of the desert. I'm not sure if is gas or water but it bubbles out of the hole on top of a hill. So strange that its up on a hill and not bubbling out at the bottom. Does anyone know about this?
Lunch break 3 rhinos, 1 ranger, 1 razor, 2 quads and 6 motorcyles. Sure was a fun trip. Can't wait for the next one.
Tom just brought me this picture of everyone facing him, so you can see the group a bit better.

Those are some cool pictures that you got in Ocotillo! OMG I can't believe you rolled! That is scary!
It actually wasn't scary at all. We knew wewere going over and going very slow if at all. We don't really remember. We were up then down! Crazy
Looks like you had fun! =) Will wants to go sooo bad! I think we are going Martin Luther King weekend!
Glad to here you guys are okay after the roll! Here's the description from the park's website (Gas Domes is one of favorite places to visit in Ocotillo)
GAS DOMES
To reach this natural phenomenon, you must exit the park on the Gas Dome Trail east of Pole Line Road. These mysterious, volcano-like mud pots of bubbling liquid are located approximately one and one-half miles into the public lands of the Bureau of Land Management. Cold to the touch, the gray water releases large bubbles of gas.
