Driving Blind Obstacle Course

Dave is going to drive blindfolded and I am going to tell him where to go.  What could possibly go wrong?

We got it parked between the cones.  We did not receive any penalties. Our time was 3 minutes and 9 seconds.  We did not place in the top three. We have to work on our speed.

They put an open radio in each Jeep so everyone could hear what was going on in the cab.  Lots of good laughs.

One of the Smallest Churches in the world is right here in Arizona and it’s adorably worth a visit

You must be wondering what a chapel must be doing there in the middle of a crop field. Well, let’s go back in time. In 1995, a cotton farmer named Loren Pratt built this tiny house of God in honor of his deceased wife Lois. This little chapel is his labor of love, and the great thing about it is that you can literally pause, rest, and worship!  It’s so small, with a size of only 8 feet by 12 feet only and 12 people at max can fit inside.

Barry Goldwater Range

Established in 1941, the BGR is primarily used for air-to-ground bombing practice by United States Air Force pilots.  The Barry Goldwater range is between Phoenix, Tucson and Yuma... As you take that geography and look at the military in those three cities you have roughly 20 squadrons that use the range day in, day out as their backyard range. When you piece all of the airspace together, it’s actually bigger than the state of Connecticut which makes it a real training treasure.
