Its time for "Guess that Car"

Today we have a nice slightly used SUV seen on the back of a semi driving through Rio Rancho. I blanked out the wheel cap to make it a little harder to guess.

Also seen this day were a Nissan Frontier that had rear ended some harder vehicle, and a Grand Am that looked like it went sideways into a sidewalk - the front wheel was tilted at about a 45 degree angle from vertical.

Labor Day Weekend

Yeah, I know I was a little slow in posting. The weekend was good, Kelly and I went home on Friday and stayed until Tuesday. On Saturday we took an ATV ride to the lower box (Gila River). We started in the Burros (near the homestead) and rode ~70 mile round trip. The ride out was dusty and fairly uneventful besides the running over of a dead pack rat that was in the road. We arrived at the river and ate lunch and rested. It was really hot out. The girls played in the river, but got out as the lightning got closer. The ride back was a little cooler...we got caught in a downpour and actually had to stop riding for a little bit. At least it wasn't dusty :) Another exciting part of the ride back was getting to see this guy:He was in the process of crossing the road when we saw him. He coiled after we followed him for a bit trying to get a picture. He had more red than the picture shows. Only one of the ATVs ran out of gas before we got back (but we were prepared), and there was a nice hot meal waiting for us when we got back. Other weekend activities were dinner (and a cookout) with friends and family and going to the Gem and Mineral show.
