http://i796.photobucket.com/albums/y...ps7fe0a5ac.jpg Soon we end up on dirt again, and going up and down the mountains http://i796.photobucket.com/albums/y...ps68dd50d9.jpg http://i796.photobucket.com/albums/y...ps74d852e4.jpg This is the kind of road the Tiger would eat up!!!! http://i796.photobucket.com/albums/y...psc75c6741.jpg We take a few turns and I believe we are on a road called Thompson Canyon. http://i796.photobucket.com/albums/y...ps0a9ef589.jpg We stopped for lunch and walked out on this ledge and sat down to picnic... http://i796.photobucket.com/albums/y...ps13fc1afb.jpg Looking back the way we came... http://i796.photobucket.com/albums/y...ps18726c37.jpg |

The first other humans we have seen in hours. http://i796.photobucket.com/albums/y...psf1a8ef2d.jpg http://i796.photobucket.com/albums/y...ps483ebaf8.jpg http://i796.photobucket.com/albums/y...psa95684eb.jpg |

http://i796.photobucket.com/albums/y...ps2482fa81.jpg We soon are on Onion Creek Rd and as the guide book says, there are NUMEROUS water crossing, and after yesterdays rains, you can't tell how deep or how solid some are... http://i796.photobucket.com/albums/y...psc9abacc5.jpg Most are very easy... http://i796.photobucket.com/albums/y...ps4ceb70a6.jpg I lost count of how many times we crisscrossed the creek We hit 128 and ride up to check out the "Historic Dewey Bridge" http://i796.photobucket.com/albums/y...ps8fc9de25.jpg http://i796.photobucket.com/albums/y...psab1c8b45.jpg |
So I take D#1 back to the motel and head back out to the Sand Flats Rec Area to finish the North side of Fins and Things, flying solo...

Yep, that's the road! Follow the black marks!
http://i796.photobucket.com/albums/y...ps67dc05f6.jpg kind of narrow transition http://i796.photobucket.com/albums/y...ps44918506.jpg Going Up? http://i796.photobucket.com/albums/y...psfb0382a8.jpg I get involved with keeping all 4 tires on the ground and pointing where I want them to go, and end up finishing the trail with all parts in tact! Head back to town and pick up D#1 for supper! |
