A Trip to C-City

After 5 long months of my ride sitting on the stand, I finally got to get out and :ride: Me n my Bro hit the road at 6:00 AM on Sunday for what I hoped to be a mellow day.

Breakfast in the high desert at 7:00

This place has killer breakfast burritos :thumb:

Back on the road, 45 minutes later, we arrived at the staging spot.

We got on the bikes, and struck out towards Inscription Canyon. After talking to Big Dan on chat about it, I figured we could start the day with another visit. The first stop came pretty quick to readjust my shifter, and shed some clothes.

I wonder if a certain DBA'er would recognize this wash entrance.:devil:

Back on the trail we came across a huge out cropping of white rock. So I climbed on up to check out the view.

It was pretty cool up there.

From there, I made a wrong turn and ended up back in the same valley we staged from.:bonk:
Once there we stopped at the old prospectors place.

He lived quite a few years. I wonder if he ever found anything of any value.:noidea:

From there we improvised our way towards Inscription.:devil:
Crossing the lakes we came across this huge fishing weight.

That thing was all aluminum,bolted on a steel frame, that was sunk into the lake bed. I wish I knew what the hell it is.:noidea:

From there it was a short ride to the petroglyphs. They have recently upgraded the fence, and put up a new sign.:thumb:

A few shots of the 14,000 year old drawings.

Heading back towards the truck for a little more gas and lunch, we stopped in this cool little valley. I know the pictures don't do it justice, but still really cool.

The only other shot I got, was after lunch dropping down a hill to a wash.

It was a short day of only about 110 miles, but with my Brother on my ass all day, and being so out of shape, we called it a day around 4:00, and headed for home. It was really great to smell the Dez again.:thumb:

That thing is called a corner reflector. Same thing as a reflector on your car, but it works with radar signals instead of light.

So where was it?

Great to hear you riding again and got you bike back together. Hope to see you guys Tday week. Was that entrance to the canyon where my ass slide was? Always wondered how to get to it from the south. Do you have the GPS coords?

I should be more like you. We got back to the truck, and I had to sit on the truck gate because I didn't bring a chair. :doh:

I do love that area up there, so yes, thanks for the idea. That would be a nice ride Turkey Day. I just might have to show up and tag along. :ride:
