On the CX bike, accompanied by The Believer. Great exploration ride, have to go back to do some more exploring. Found an amazing waterfall in the middle of nowhere. Also saw two deer, a large turkey fly across the road and soar down into a canyon and a +/-250# black bear.

This was an exploratory route. Google Earth finally worked on this one, however there was quite a bit of tresspassing done to make it happen. The nice fella that lives on Blue Gravel Road let us through his property and even gave us directions. I don't advise trying this route as it has many No Trespassing signs and gates. We were lucky this guy was home and his gate was open. All and all a good ride, but doubt I'd do it again. Accompanied by Trucker, Tin Foil Hat Man, Chuckwagon and Raphael.

The deer were out in force this day.

Climbing early in the morning up Dieter's Trail.

On the Snow Mountain Ditch very early in the day.
