Hello everyone.  I was out solo pre-runn8ng and stumbled on new terrain.  I really don't need to put allot of words to this photo.

Here is a 4 foot vertical.  I had to look at it for a second to discover what line to take.  I used the base as a kicker.

The wash was filled 20 ft deep with boulders and sharp rock.  My 25 yr old clapped out Honda took it like a champ. There was no cell service here so I made sure i didn't break a limb or chain drive.

The scarce beauty of this of this sun scorched landscape captured my imagination.i could not wait to see what was waiting for me around the next curve.

The  big mountain near this wash was looming over with a subtle invitaion to climb by exposing a distant trail from time to time. 

The trees offered a cool and calm place to relax.

Probly a thousand feet over the valley floor.  I could see the Colorado River from here just over my shoulder.

Followed the road and it got kindy rocky. I enjoy challenging terrain.  The rockier the better,  takes my mind off stuff.

Lucky for me there were lots of jeep and motorcycle tracks to follow so I knew I was at the correct trail. 

I headed back to civilization great weather for dezert riding,
