there's one close by that I have been watching "melt" into the earth - its kind of sad

 

Just a short 30 mile ride from Marysvale up FS trail 815 to the trail head of 197 up to Marysvale Peak, Barney Lake
and back to Marysvale. Still too much snow to even attempt Barney Lake.














I always try to bring home a little extra.

 

Diet Mt. Dew and Gatorade. That could be our trash but we don't litter.

Like the picture of the cactus.

Trails here probably won't open until late May unless it stays dry the next couple of weeks. There are still below freezing temperatures at night up north. Then above freezing temps. during the day. Trails would turn to soup if we ride them now.

 

Snow in one pic and a cactus blooming in the next. Great scenery. Our trails are just trees and more trees. Nothing else to see. Thanks for picking up after the bums that litter. My box isn't big enough to hold all the trash I find so I used to just pick up any bottle or can that I could get the 10 cent deposit back on. The last couple were full of ants that got all over my box so I quit picking them up.

 

Bud Lite yummy.

 

we didn't get much snow this year - the dust on the trails is going to be horrid this year

 

sorry but I had to laugh

I have a good friend that recovers ATV/MC seats and some auto upholstery.

I'm going to have him make me a bag out of naugahyde to take place of my WalMart bags so I can take out glass bottles.
They're a tad too heavy for the thin plastic garbage sacks.

 

Just a short ride up to Hunt's Lake yesterday - a short 35 mile round trip.


The beginning of the 50" section of trail 0088.

 

This is where I rode this past Saturday.


We took a ride up Mary Ellen Gulch in American Fork Canyon.


Great friends always make the rides more enjoyable.
This was a tad too rocky for the bike. He ended up waiting here for our return.


It was a perfect picture day.


This cabin wash fairly trashed but sported a new roof.


I'm thinking Pam wanted a ride on Brutus. B)


We all know how well pictures show the angles. It was tough to cross without slidding.


We had lunch at the last adit. Killer view and cooled by the snow.


Plenty of ice still in the tunnel and will remain throughout most of the summer.


It was the perfect day to be out riding. The main canyon was full of people but there are seldom people
up this side canyon - maybe because its soo rocky and rough in the beginning. It was in the high 90s down low
and way cool up top.

 

That looks like beautiful country. Is that part of the Paiute Trail? Looks like good conditions for riding.
