RIDERS – DAVID / TRAIL BOSS
JOHN
LOOP ~ 48 MILES
WE BOTH WANTED TO RIDE SOME TRAILS WE HAVEN’T DONE AT ALL OR AT LEAST THIS SEASON. WE SET OFF TO FIND TRAIL 654 (84) IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION WE USUALLY TAKE.
ON THE WAY OUT WE PASSED THE RANCHER WHO LIVES IN THE ROCK HOUSE, SHOULD OF ASKED HIM FOR DIRECTIONS. GOT TO THE WELLS SUMMIT ROAD AND DAVID REALIZED WE MISSED IT.
IT TOOK US A COUPLE OF HOURS TO FINALLY FIND IT AND IT WAS WELL WORTH THE EFFORT.
ONE OF THE MANY REFERENCES TO THE MAP.
A COUPLE OF THE MORE PROMISING FALSE STARTS.
ONE OF THE PROBLEMS WAS I DIDN’T KNOW HOW TO CHANGE THE LAT/LON UNITS ON THE GPS TO MATCH THE MAP WE HAD. ( I DO NOW !).
THE “NEW STUFF” FOLLOW A RIDGE UP TOWARD DOLLAR HIDE.
ONE OF THE VIEWS ON THE WAY UP. I THINK WE ARE LOOKING AT SOLDIER MOUNTAIN OR MAYBE SMOKEY DOME.
LITTLE SMOKEY ROAD IS BELOW US.
DAVID JUST BEFORE THE SIDE HILL.
SUCCESS ! WE MADE IT TO THE RIDGE TRAIL THAT CONNECTS MIDDLE FORK & MEADOW CREEK TRAILS.
WE HAD LUNCH AND SCOUTED THE TRAIL SYSTEM FROM OUR VANTAGE POINT. SAW ANOTHER PIECE OF SINGLE TRACK WE NEVER HAD RIDDEN !
