3RD WEEK SINCE MY HAMSTRING INJURY , 3RD RIDE THIS YEAR FOR DAVID.
WE RODE INTO HUNTER CREEK FIRST, TO VERIFY LIME CREEK COULD BE CROSSED.
THE WATER WAS LOW , ALMOST AT SUMMER LEVELS. THERE HAS BEEN ENOUGH TRAFFIC TO KICK THE LOOSE
ROCKS OFF OF HUNTER CREEK.
PRESIDENT’S
HAD TO STOP TO ADJUST MY BACKPACK SO I SNAPPED A COUPLE OF PHOTOS.
TRAIL WAS MOIST AND LUSH
I TOLD DAVID IF THERE IS A HEAVEN , I WOULD HOPE IT’S JUST LIKE PRESIDENTS (TODAY ).
TOP OF PRESIDENT WHERE WE STOPPED FOR LUNCH.
ON THE WAY UP I COULDN’T REMEMBER IF I HAD PUT MY LUNCH IN THE BACKPACK.
I HAD , IT WAS A NICE SURPRISE !
ON THE ROAD RIGHT OFF PRESIDENT , DAVID SPOTTED AT DOE & FAWN.
WE ROLLED UP TO WHERE THEY HAD CROSSED AND FOUND THE FAWN HIDING IN THE BRUSH.
DAVID WAS OFF HIS BIKE SO I HANDED HIM MY CAMERA TO GET A CLOSE UP.
VIEW FROM TOP OF PORCUPINE
PORCUPINE JUST BEFORE IT DROPS THROUGH THE CLIFFS TO LIME CREEK.
SHEEP HAVE ALREADY BEEN DRIVEN THROUGH , SOME OF THE MUDDY SECTIONS WERE CHURNED A BIT.
WE GOT BACK TO THE TRUCK BEFORE ANY THUNDERSTORMS FORMED.
