Yo, Mojave riders!

 Next time you run over/through a creosote bush, maybe you'll be a little
sorry...

What? No mention of the banned wood preservative product? I love the
smell of that stuff. Dad still has a gallon. That stuff worked.

 The Real Bev points to:


My XR600 brush guards still have greenish stains from the
high speed weave through the creosote.  I love that riding.
Point, shoot, react.

I'm more worried about this:

Don't they look soft and fluffy (from a distance)?


Go fast. Take chances.

Yes.  You can't see the barbs, though.  And some of them are called
'jumping chollas' -- the entire loosely-attached sticker-cluster
detaches itself from the cactus rather than just a single sticker.

The desert will kill you if it gets half a chance.  Utah Juniper looks
pretty and friendly, but it will rip out your radio antenna without even
breathing hard if you get too close.
