Dave found a nearby
off-road trail.
It's rated as Easy &
34 miles long!
Dave takes a selfie
of us at the first
waypoint on
BLM Land.
We start the day's drive
with Dave & Kathy
leading the way.
This wide, sandy wash is a bumpy ride....
If the Jeep's a- rockin' don't
come a-knockin'...
A stalk of purple flowers
stand out among the tans,
greys & greens of the
desert.
Nearby yellow flowers remind
me of over-sized Butter Cups.
Trail signs, like this one,
confirm that we are on
the correct trail.
Out of the wash & onto
a rutted trail.
Dave & Kathy cuddle
during one of our stops.
An Ocotillo, desert &
mountains.
A large growth of
Dave & Kathy share a kiss
in front of the red berries.
The "road" ahead crosses the rugged desert plain.
Saguaro stand "head & shoulders"
above the brush.
A banking turn
A decorated dumpster shares space with a water pump & corral.
Dave & Kathy park next to
the Cattle Shoot that was
used to load cows onto
trucks for transport to
market.
Eric and I take the lead for the next section of our drive.
A gentle rise leads to
rocky outcrops.
Clouds appear to radiate
from the mountaintop.
Rocks ahead...
Eric surveys the trail &
decides on his course.
We cross the desert on
this rutted track.
Millions of years of erosion
creates rugged outcrops
to admire.
We race with Dave & Kathy
along the wide wash.
We follow Dave & Kathy
back to pavement.
Dave picked a great off-road trail.
Today's drive, with waypoints.
34 miles of varied terrain &
beautiful sights.
