1) Yep...usually alone. Staging was about 53 miles from my house. This spot is about 15 miles into the ride.1) You appear to be alone. How far are you from home when you ride and take these photos?
2) How many hours and miles do you ride into the desert?
2) Do you leave your home in your Pioneer or do you trailer it to the trails?
4) It looks like a long lonely walk back home if the buggy fails you.
Thanks for the explanation. I understand the story behind the photos now.1) Yep...usually alone. Staging was about 53 miles from my house. This spot is about 15 miles into the ride.
2) These days, maybe 45 miles is the average ride.
3) I trailer. I could ride from home for certain areas, but 43 mph top speed means I avoid highway/gravel road riding when I can. I consider that "empty" miles. The areas close to home would require some highway riding OR riding around in flat, featureless desert for some miles.
4) It might be a long walk, but then again , that's why I bought this particular Honda (even though it's been missbehaving to some degree). Even when its doing odd things, I dont have much worry that it will bring me back home.

I got my Talon shortly after moving to Utah after I learned they could be licensed and driven on the street pretty much anywhere I wanted to go, and the offroad sticker was usually enough in most rural areas such as mine. With literally hundreds of miles of trails just in my county alone, I...hondasxs.com

These are some tracks I used from online. I liked that trail...and I'd say ride it at least once, but it's not something I think you'll want to do regularly. Great views.DG, I’m planning on visiting this area next Sunday (2/13). I’ll be coming in from the east, SR 77/ O’Carrol canyon.

I believe that the first picture I've seen of a sxs with the ocean in the background but my memory is garbage nowadays. Anyways, cool pic.Currently at Florence Or dunes. Weather is fantastic! Sand is firm, so it’s a little rough riding in some spots. Worth it though. Staying through tomorrow.
