I am your trail boss for the February event. Looking forward to sharing parts of the RUTS Treasure Hunt held later in February. Will do a family friendly 20 mile treasure map loop. Kids will then find the burried treasure somewhere in the desert using the map found at each treaure map stop (help from GPS) For the riders looking for a challenge, I will lead a 40 mile challenge loop on some great trails. Hope to see you there.

Hi there Jackrabbits. Just wanted to remind you to water your little pots with seeds in them. You will want to be sure a plate is under the pot since these seem to leak all over the place. The good news is that you once you see your little plant poking out, you can take the whole pot and plop it in the ground! Pretty cool, huh?
Send me an email if you starting seeing green soon! Even better take a picture and send it to me and I'll have Miss Jessica post it on the website!
Hugs to each of my jackrabbits out there!
Michelle

Hi, ITD members we are going to be first timers joining IntheDirt group for the Dec Trip in Ocotillo South trip. I'm very familar with the trails in Ocotillo and hope to provide any help in the future.
We have been following your schedule since last year and now we have been able to schedule this trip.
We are very excited in joining the group. We go to Saddleback Church and have only 1 jackrabbit. Her name is Maya and she is 6years old. She has been riding a quad for 3 years.
Deborah and I are both two-wheel dirt bike riders. She is hoping that there are other female riders in the group.

We will be looking for the roll call on the message board. Let us know if there is anything we need to do regarding finding your location and or a contact to correspond with.
Thank you,
P.S. we would like to follow a member up if possible. We live in Lake Forest.

[Edit]
Date Posted: 17:20:44 12/08/09 Tue
I have decided to move the ride from Ocotillo South, to OCTOTILLO NORTH. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the area, you take the 10 E, to the 86 S. Stay on 86 S down into Salton City. You will see a sign for the S22, turn right. About 4.5 miles in, you will start to climb a small hill and there will be an OHV sign and our ITD signs on the left hand side. Follow those in to the right and you will find our campsite. The road will be marked out early Friday morning. I will be your trail boss this weekend and I am excited about the group rides to the pumpkin patch, shell reef and maybe even the gas domes! With the wet weather you can almost count on the dust being minimal which makes for optimum riding conditions! For anyone who is interested, my family will be headed up to Julian on Friday to check out the railroad or the gold mines. Jess will be doing Jack Rabbits on Saturday, so if you plan on attending, please respond with how many children will be participating. We will have our traditional Saturday night fireside followed by the desert bar, so bring your favorite and some to share!

So, don't let the weather scare you off. This weekend promises to be a fantastic weekend of fellowship, fun and riding! We can't wait to see you all, In The Dirt!

In His Service,
Dan O'Connell

P.S. I am asking that everyone bring some firewood so that the burden doesn't fall on one person. This needs to be a regular thing for all rides, especially since the weather will be cooler this month.

Hey guys,

I contacted Steve via his web site (http://www.mmmechanics.net/index.html) and he was able to squeeze me into his busy schedule. He was abel to fix the issue in about 30 minutes time! Steve was friendly, clean, and prompt. I highly recommend his services.

Hi Everyone!

Wondering if there is a family out there planning on being at the December ITD who would like to fill in for us with Trailbossing (putting up signs and greeting new families) and Campfire Games.

Scott's dad is still not doing well enough to leave for an entire weekend. So we won't be going on the ride in December. Which is the month we signed up for Trailbossing and Family Campfire games.

Let us know if you can Trailboss and do games for December.
Thank you!

God bless,

Hey in the Dirt Family,

Dave and I are excited to Trailboss this In The Dirt Weekend. Cougar Buttes is always a great spot, so much to do. For those of you with GPS, camp is at N 34 29.521 W 116 49.642. We will be out Thursday night late. As Dan said you turn down Camp Rock road for approx 4 miles to Granite Road (N34 30.103 W 116 51.446), you then follow the dirt road for approx. 2 miles and turn right. Watch for signs should all be up early Friday morning.

Along with the Swap Meet and rides we are playing BINGO on Saturday, can’t wait to see all.

Please post your attendance on the website message board for Roll Call so we know you’re coming.

The weather should be high 70s in the day and low 40s at night, if you all could bring a bundle of wood it would help make our fire a big one.

God Bless and safe travels
Matt and Dave.

Here is Dan's email with directions, please respond to Lisa Roll Call. See you all there.

Well it's that time again! Time to shine up, tune up and load up. I pray that this off season has been a fruitful time for you and your family and that you are ready to head back out In The Dirt! We are excited about what God is waiting to do in this ministry this year! If you haven't checked the web site, our first ride is Randsburg which is always a favorite. There are rumblings that folks will be headed out Thursday, so make sure to check in on the message board. For those of you that aren't familiar with the Randsburg area, we are 34.6 miles north of Kraemer Junction (395 & 58). From there, you will cross a set of railroad tracks and it will be about 2.7 miles from there. You will climb a slight grade and there will be a cow sign on the right hand side. Look for the ITD signs on the road side. From there it's about a mile into camp and the road will be marked by thursday afternoon.
Our trailbosses for the weekend will be Dave Kearley and Robert Murray. I have heard that there is going to be a pancake breakfast Saturday morning! This is a great way to start the season and to meet new people! The weather is calling for warm days in the 80's and nights to be mid 50's, so make sure to bring some shorts and sunblock! JackRabbits will be held on Saturday and hosted by the Kearley Family. If you are going to have kids in JackRabbits, please make sure to respond on the message board so that we have adequate supplies. The message Saturday night will be on Seasons. The fireside will start at 7:30 to make good use of the last few of the long days. We will have our desert bar after the fireside, so bring your favorite desert to share with your friends!

In His Service,
Dan O'Connell

For those of you that haven't been to our annual picnic before in July, this is the time where we ALL plan for the following year and hope that you will join us on June 19th at 4:30! (Please RSVP yes or no to Jessica O'Connell at jd.oconnell@gmail.com. We are going to be having a pot luck of main dishes, sides, etc. We will provide the drinks and paper products. Also she can give you directions.)

As this ministry continues to grow it can't be done without all the volunteers who make it what it is! This year we would love to have you ALL involved! Here is a list of all the volunteer opportunities for you to review.

Please take the time to pray about where God would have you serve and come ready to sign up on July 19th! We will have a poster for each of the categories below with a spot for each month for you to sign up! "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving." Colossians 3:23-24

Out of the Dirt Activities: This past year everyone really enjoyed getting together "Out of the Dirt." We had movie nights, beach days, and lots of pot lucks. We would love for you to sign up to host and/or plan an "Out of the Dirt" activity either at your home, a park, the beach, or other location that allows us all to get together for a time of fellowship.
Out of the Dirt Dates (all Saturdays):
September 19, October 17, November 21, December 19, January 23, February 20, March 20, April 24, May 22

Campfire Games: Help Jessica O'Connell come up with and lead a campfire game that is suitable for families and a campfire atmosphere. One volunteer per month is needed.

Jackrabbits: Help Michelle Peltzer organize games, activities, and/or bible study lessons for the kids for Saturdays. We need one volunteer per month.

Trailboss: Being a trail boss is a great way to meet everyone in the group and really expose yourself to connecting! Don't let leading rides scare you off from being a trail boss. The trail boss organizes and coordinates the weekend activities. The following list is meant to help them so that everybody makes it to the camping spot and we all have a safe and fun weekend.
Verify that the chosen location is open for us to ride at least a month ahead of time so we can reschedule if need be. This responsibility can be shared among 2 individuals/families.
2009-2010 Ride Schedule:
October 2-3-4 - Matt's Place
November 6-7-8 - Cougar Buttes
December 11-12-13 - Ocatillo South
January 8-9-10 - Trona Road
February 5-6-7 - Dove Springs
March 5-6-7 - TBA
April 9-10-11 - Cal City

Carrie rolled her quad over on herself 3 weeks ago out at matts place. She has fractured her tibia at the top near her knee. The doctor said that it will take 12 weeks to heal. She has to stay off of it for that time. Please pray for healing, for her being bored during the day, pray for John and the kids to pick up the slack. Our sunday school class is providing us with dinners whitch has truly been a blessing.

In His name

We want to thank everyone from ITD for helping our family out this past weekend. As many of you know our Excursion would not start as we were packing up to leave Gorman and had to be towed to a local service station. The ITD family was there to offer help, support, prayers, rides home, to and from, picking up our trailer, food, snacks, you name it, it was offered. Many, many thanks to you all!! It is so great to know that we have a church family out there that has everyones back when something goes wrong. It is such a blessing. We are very grateful. (p.s. Our Excursion is fixed and hopefully will be picked up Thursday.) Thanks again, sincerely, the Northrup family

Next weekend we are heading to Gorman for the first time with In The Dirt. We have a permit for Edison Camp Ground inside the Gorman O.H.V. area. Camping costs $10/night or $50 for an annual pass. We are going to have a lot of fun! Let us know how many kids for Jack Rabbits...this one is for kids of all ages as we will be playing Easter Bingo and doing an egg hunt. Don't forget your dessert for Saturday night's pot luck!

Many have asked how mike is coming along and I'm happy to say that he is coming along.....just slowly that's all.
He is still in the trauma until (now 10 days) at Loma Linda Hospital. His removed spleen last Saturday has caused his insides to do some re-adjusting and therefor he has been on a clear liquids diet for 4 days (driving him crazy).
His 8 broken ribs are healing and although still very painful, he does find it easier to move in his bed and is down to only two painkillers instead of 3.
He still has suction his lungs inflated and drained of blood. Perhaps these tubes will come out today?
He is able to sit up in bed now and is working on moving his arms and legs to keep blood flow moving in his limbs, not being able to even move your torso without extreme pain has made it hard to keep his arms and legs from becoming weak.
Our concern now is for the Martin family finances. Mike is the sole provider and is in the hard hit construction industry. Being out of work for the past 10 days, and possible the next 2 months, is bound to take an enormous toll on their ability to keep food on the table, gas in the car and the electricity turned on, not to mention the mortgae and other bills that go along with home ownership.
We have created an account so that his In The Dirt family can give if they are led to. Dan O and Robert M will post the details later today or tomorrow on how you can give to the Martins in this great time of need.
Mike and Nicol are so blessed by our continued support and prayers. Please don't stop.
Blessings,
ScottyB

Dear Scott @ all our brothers & sisters in Christ, Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts. God has blessed our family with such incredible Godly servants! Seeing His love for us in the people praying for Michael, and sending their love thru texts, phone calls, emails, it truly is overwhelming. Here is the latest... Michael was moved out of ICU this evening. He has eaten real food & enjoyed a coke on ice (his favorite!) The latest scan has showed multiple small fractures on the right rib cage also. The major 8 breaks are all on the left side. Physical Therapy came this evening and assisted Michael in sitting up and standing with a walker, the longest 3 minutes of his life!! I was so proud of him, he got really crabby & feisty after that, but he pushed thru the incredible pain & did it, standing did cause alot more blood & fluid to drain thru his tube from his left lung, but that's OK, he needs to start moving. PLEASE continue prayer for his recovery, from any further internal bleeding, protection from pneumonia, and other infections and please pray for our kids, they are all hurting & scared. Specifically pray Michael can walk his daughter down the aisle as planned on April 18th in Temecula. My cell is 949-246-8401 EVERYONE we know & don't know is welcome to call, text, send silly pictures, scripture whatever & I'll pass it on to Michael. Michael has a band on each arm that reads Galatians 2:20, and shares it with each nurse, doctor whoever that asks, his faith & love for Jesus is so strong, he encourages me everyday and I'm so proud he's my husband! Thank you for your prayers & concern, it really is a miracle he's still here with us!! God is so incredibly good!!! Love, Nicol

Mike was in a motorcycle accident at Dove Springs on Sat. at 1pm. He is at Loma Linda hospital in ICU and needs our prayers. He has a broken thumb, 2 collapsed lungs, 8 broken ribs, his spleen is torn in 3 places, and 2 broken vertebrae. He has NO paralysis, PRAISE GOD!!! as the broken back is not near his spinal cord. They hope the spleen will heal itself. The major concern today is about internal bleeding. He has tubes in his lungs and a button to control the pain. He has been conscious the whole time, but didn't get any pain medicine until 9pm Sat. night. His church family was at the hospital with him all night. His wife Nicole is asking all of us to Pray right now.

We'll post updates as we get them.

This was posted on the RUTS message board by Kevin a member of RUTS:

I just talked to mike in ICU and he is doing as good as can be expected. He has a partially collapsed lung on one side and a minor issue on the other. He does have 8 broken ribs though which is going to take time to heal. He seems to be in pretty good spirits right now; and we need to keep praying for him and his family.

The good news is, he was able to ride his bike back to the trucks which were about 4-5 miles from where he crashed (desert racers are tough) for his friends to get him loaded up. If you do not know Mike, I will tell you he is an excellent rider (expert) and more importantly a GREAT guy.

Dear ITD Family
Many of you know that we were not at the March ITD because Scott's 24 year old niece came for a visit from Cairo Egypt where she is doing missions work. While she was here, I was able to meet friends of Lindsey's from Cairo that recently moved here. They are Christians who do outreach work to muslims. They had to leave Cairo very suddenly and subsequently their two boys are in need of clothes. If you have any gently used clothes sizes 7 and 12, please let me know.
Thanks so much! See you at the OTD pizza night next weekend!
Michelle

Due to the date change for the April ITD trip, Jacquie and I will not be able to attend. We will however still go out in the dirt March 10, 11, and 12. We will have Harley and Jake with us. We will be going to the normal ITD location at Ocatillo Wells North. Use the same GPS coordinates of N 33 16 2.74 and W 116 1 29.40. If you wish to join us please post a reply to this message. Saturday we will decorate eggs for a Sunday morning egg hunt. If the normal site is taken, just look around, we will be as close as posible to the coordinates given. Thank You.

There will be plenty of activity this trip, something for everyone with (2) organized rides, a trip over to Jawbone for those tasty tritip sandwiches and Jack rabbits. If you will be arriving after dark there will be light sticks on the signs to aid in navigation. Looking forward to a great weekend! See you all there.
