    The Uncle Asa Chivo Falls trip report and pictures

    Had a great trip. Great sunny weather. Alexander (Uncle Asa) it was great meeting you! Hopefully we will be able to get together the next time you come to visit the U.S. Other victims...I mean participants included Bob (VXCaver), Victor (VCamilo), and his passenger Stephanie. All the photos I got are of the scenery. Was I get it figured out I will post some wheeling video! Here are the pics I got....everyone else make sure and post up your pics too!
    Even with all the rescent rain the falls were just barely flowing but at least they weren't totally dry

    Some desert fall wildflowers

    Bottom of the falls

    Top of the falls

    From the top of the falls...somehow my lense got dirty...the VXs were under the dirt spot :homer: Doh!

    Great pics guys, looks like a fun day.
    Took me a while to realize the frog was the only thing in the pic that cast a shadow.

    Excelent pictures Alexander. You have a good eye for photography!
    HHMmmmmm! Russian snow VX run! Wonder what it would cost to fly a couple dozen VX's and owners to Russia for a couple of weeks?

    Those videos are great Billy! But where's the one of me coming down 3Feathers? Oh yeah... I took the bypass. My gas tank has a new shape ... looks a little like Montana... thanks to that bypass.

    It was a perfect afternoon for wheeling in the desert. It was good to meet Alexander and do a trip with him and I hope we do it again next year! And yeah, I'd be up for a Moscow wheeling trip, even if I can't carry on my Vehicross any more... It was great to see Victor again and meet "fearless" Stephanie. Yet another great Chivo Falls day.
