With my favorite area closing tomorrow because of the milkvetch plant, temps were mild again for the weekend, so my Son and I headed out for one more ride.
We still hadn't found Tonka Town, and with it being in the middle of the affected milkvetch area, we figured we would canvas that area and see what turned up.
We were on the road about 5:30, which put us too early for the original breakfast plans.
The change of plans.
On the bikes at 7:30.
We weren't even on the bikes 10 minutes and we came across this guy.
We had a general idea where Tonka Town was, so this is what we rode.
And this.
And this.
After 50 miles of the same 5 miles of trailes, we went back to the truck for some grub.
Goggle marks on Sawyers face, I got a good laugh, not sure if it will show up on the picture.
This is some good jerky, too hot for Butthead though.
We then switched to M&Ms. I like how the blus were the dominant color.
Blue M&Ms on a Frito.
Back on the bikes, we came across this tank.
It was begging for a DBA sticker.
We hit the hills, and wash for a while, and I got to watch Sawyer take a nap. I was just a little late, as he is just getting the bike back up.
It was a pretty gnarly little sandy step up, but it was the end that caught him.
Once he started bouncing off the rocks, he was done.
Back out on the flats, it was more of this.
We ended the day with finding another tortoise.
We never did find Tonka Town, I think we rode buy it about 8 times, but it must be just far enough off the trail, where it's pretty hard to see. I will be back, I feel a urge to find the freakin place, now I'll just have to ride the area outlaw style. All in all, it was another great day of riding with the Boy, not too bad of a Fathers Day at all.
