Friday, June 6th, we loaded the 4 wheelers into our new toy hauler and headed for Elephant Butte.
We found a great place to set up camp about 6pm. After unloading the Rincons and leveling the trailer Chuck went through flipping switches to make sure everything was working. When he turned on the water pump it made a bad noise--like the water was empty. He said that he had checked the gauge before we left and it measured 2/3 full. (and he's sticking to that story) . He pulled the trailer back to the Sinclair Station in Colorado City and when he started filling the water tank he found that water ran out as fast as it went in. Looking beneath the trailer he found a broken pvc pipe. The story gets even better, but I won't post all of the bad luck. He brought back a plastic garbage container of water in the bathtub.
He got the trailer back to the camping spot (that I had stayed with the 4 wheelers to save) about 8:30 pm. Just enough time to fix supper and enjoy the cool evening in the cedar treed wilderness.
We spent the next day trekking over the sand trails on the ATV's. There were 7 vehicles carrying 15 happy people. It was the best weather for a fun ride and we saw beautiful off road country.
We traveled about 43 miles on the ATV's. Great friends and a great ride! Thanks Ken and Venna for planning the trip.

Kristina asked if we were going to go on another trip anytime soon, I told her probably next month, but Kenneth said at the end of this month.
It was great fun.
