As we climbed upward there
were no signs & no
locked gates.
Pretty close to the top
of the world...
The dirt track winds around
large rock formations.
It's been years since Eric and I have done any serious off-roading and I have to "toughen up."
We're on the edge....
I'm nervous.
Eric drives on....
There's more mountain up there.
We don't have our hiking gear
with us.
Eric turns around &
we retrace our drive.
California State Route 74
is on the left.
Agave & low growing brush
There's a rougher track
to the right.
Eric turned the steering
wheel to the right
A rocky outcrop
A hiker, in the distance,
is exploring the rest of
the mountain.
Looking north, toward
Palm Desert.
Today's off-road adventure is
coming to an end...
Mile Marker 87.26
As we drive west, Eric and I will look for Smiler's Point, where Smiler Grogan (Jimmy Durante) failed to negotiate a curve and "sailed right out there" in Its A Mad Mad Mad Mad World.
