Back in my happy place…
Actually I have 3 happy places.
Moab, Castle Mountain Resort, and the race track… Pucker Pass:  Road to Picture Frame Arch:  We rented a bike for my wife for tomorrow and Thursday and will do some easy stuff like Fins and Things and Hells Revenge. The plan for Thursday depends on how tomorrow goes.

 I was in one of my happy places last week for Porsche Palooza in Eureka Springs. The weather was perfect, low to mid 70s, and the trees were at their peak. Best roads in the USA, and with 400+ friends in their Porsches.

Awesome. A rare sunny day in November for Western Oregon. I went dirt biking with a buddy. It was spectacular.

It beautiful out there this time of the year before the storms or snow set in in the up coming couple months. Its a beautiful area with plenty to explore. You are doing Hell's revenge in that Tundra or on your Motorbikes?

The tundra is too big and clunky for hells revenge (long wheel base). I am beyond impressed with the Rock Crawl and Hill Descent gizmos and spotting cameras. The cameras show exactly where the tires will go. It’s pretty cool tech. We will take the bikes.

I seldom leave my happy place.
 Beautiful country, unclebilly. The mountains are amazing, but I gotta be near water.

This place has become my happy place. Can't think of another place I'd like to be at this point in my life. It's in a rural area, 20 minutes from the local (higher) mountains, 40 minutes from the desert, and 30 minutes from an urban center. Can't ask for much better.

From a week ago... I agree, it is also my happy place. Though I wouldn't mind those off road excursions either.
