RE: [RC] Owyhee rides or BUST oops I mean dust:-) - Jennifer Layman

Steph,
 
You can't control mother nature, but all the straw you provided was awesome in controling the dust around out campsites.  It is tough to find ride managers that take better care of you.  Thanks for world class events, food, trail markings, water and hay on the trail everywhere.  There was a reason this FEI event managed to produce such speed without medibolic problems.  Steph and John deserve a medal for all their hard work, and should know that fun was had!   Especially by those Canadians.  What fun are they?

Ok ok ok... it's been a dusty summer. Nothing but sunshine and blue skies and perfect temperatures for the past 3 months, the gardens have loved it (thanks to lots of water from the mountains) but the earth sure is thirsty here.
 
Just to put things in perspective though - last year we had two major thunderstorms the last week in August, big time flash floods (the first one just about caught me on the way down from the mountains marking trails - I made it to the first ranch and ducked in just as it let loose - the road behind me completely washed out), the second one flooded our ranch and washed out the bridge.  The High Country ride actually had to be re-routed in places to go around the new 'lakes' that formed after the storms.
 
This year Florida has the rain and we have the dust...

I just spent the better part of two days removing the Owyhee dust from my rig.  I did a complete wash job inside and out, fore and aft.  I think that I got most of it.  I have never seen dust on a truck that was that hard to wash off.  I think the dust is 50% Portland cement.
