DEER CREEK. AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS TO PULL THE BIKE ON THE TRAIL WE DECIDED I SHOULD GO WADDING. SLID THE BIKE DOWN TO THE CREEK & RODE OUT.

DEER CREEK WAS FUN. A REAL MOTORCYCLE TRAIL, 1ST & 2ND GEAR. DOESN’T GET MUCH USE OTHER THAN SHEEP.

LUNCH AT GREEN HORN & IMPERIAL INTERSECTION- TABLE & CHAIRS MUST HAVE BEEN PLACED BY SOMEONE ON PHARMACEUTICALS ( AS DAVID SAYS “HIKERS”).

I’M SURE THEY MEET FOREST SERVICE TRAIL SPECS.

BARRY “ LET ME BE CLEAR, I AM NOT AT MORMON. WHAT'S THAT ???

                CLARIFICATION FROM MY STAFF I AM NOT A MUSLIM.

I PRAY EVERY DAY THAT SPODE DADDY WILL RIDE FASTER !”

DAVID- ANOTHER NAVIGATION CHECK.

CASTLE CREEK & PLACER CREEK WERE SWEET TRAILS.  SOME REASON THEY SCHEDULE TO CLOSE SEPTEMBER 1ST (FOR ELK SEX). DON’T KNOW WHY THEY WOULDN’T STAY OPEN THRU LABOR DAY.

 THERE IS A WHOLE NETWORK TO TRAILS NORTH OF WARM SPRINGS ROAD.

FINALLY CONVINCED IT’S WORTH THE TRAVEL TIME TO SET UP CAMP ALONG WARM SPRINGS ROAD FOR 2-3 DAYS OF RIDING.

BARRY  “SEE THAT BACON ! MORE PROOF THAT I’M A GOLFER NOT A MUSLIM”
