By David Thorson Off-roading can be a great deal of fun as long as you are organized before you go. It’s a great way to see out-of-the-way beauty spots and an interesting way to plan a family picnic, as long as you are prepared. The type of off-road experience you can expect depends largely on both the size and toughness of your vehicle.

What is a poker run? A poker run is a kind of event where participants go from one checkpoint to another to draw a playing card from a deck of 52.

The second edition of the Dakar in Latin America ended on Saturday. Only 14 of 25 ATV riders finished the competition. It shows how difficult and demanding the race was.

Marcos Patronelli was the leader almost all the rally and won 4 of the 14 stages. It took him 64h17m44s to go through almost 5,553 miles of dunes, camel grass, mud and... Read Full Story

A while ago I posted an article about "The Intention Experiment". In a world where many have felt disillusioned and let down by religion & religious leaders, we have forgotten the power of prayer. The new findings in Quantum Physics seem to suggest that we can alter reality by thought. This may be a way that we can change the world. Perhaps this is the next stage in evolution of consciusness on this planet (as mentioned in my posts on Mayan Calendar). The Intention Experiment is a bold & new... Read Full Story
