We went for a nice ride in the desert today with the temps in the upper 60's.. We went to an area called 4 peaks. Many narrow trails and loose-sharp rock. The GrassHoppa earned his keep and may be renamed. Dar thinks we should have named the SxS "Billy Goat".. In a way I agree... Some of the inclines we went up were steeper than I could have climbed on my own. We used 4 wheel drive in case we lost traction with the rears.
At just shy of half-way in our 35 mile journey today, we visited a defunct turquoise mine. There were still a few veins visible but we had no chisel or hammer.. Notes taken for tools to be taken along on future trips. At that we could still pick up chunks of rock with turquoise embedded..
We stopped on the north side of one of the peaks at an area called Sherwood Forest. It was a lush green area in the middle of the desert. Pretty neat!
