Getting ready to head out on another trail.� We were planning on another mountain ride, but the weather looked too threatening to go into the mountains today.�
So we headed into the lower terrain to the south.
This trail has some rough spots.
Yep, there's my Jeepin' smile again.
My wife always like to take a rock or two home from each trail ride.� I told here this one was too big.
Mac wanted to see how we'd added a Jeep shroud to an aluminum radiator in Carl's Jeep.� Sorry I'm blocking the view in this photo.� I know Carl has a pic or two.� He may add them here or start a new topic.
Gray skies but still no rain yet.
As I've said in earlier posts this summer, usually such creeks have water in them, but not this summer.
Fun trail.� Ups and downs, ins and outs.� A little tipping too, but no real danger on this trail.
Rest stop for lunch.� No tables.� Just have to make do.� I prefer it that way, however.� If a government agency has provided tables, that means entry fees, lots of people, and the feel of nature is long gone.
Well, we finally got it--a one-inch desert rain storm.� That means the drops covering the area were one inch apart.� Usually we just get a six-inch rain storm.
Another, "into the wash and back out".
Came to a fork in the trail.� Carl want's to know which way.
This new trail had a steep and loose entry and exit into and out of a wash that we had not been to before.� Carl decided to give it a try while I looked on.�
Since he made it I had to give it a try.�
Now to get buck up out of there.� Challenging and fun.� Had it been too steep we knew Carl's winch would have come to the rescue.
There's the state road ahead.� Six more miles and were back home.�
