![]() By this point I had moved up to becoming a Jedi Master receiving several new “light sabers” and moved up to the Yamaha WR250R. These journeys took me to faraway lands such as the Mojave Desert, Moab, and the Grand Canyon. Through the following years, I spent time to develop and master these skills and went out looking for people with the passion and desire to join the Jedi Order.
