Trip to the hills

[Agent2]

It's like August out there, no spring grass or wildflowers.

Heading out, the hills in the background are the destination

First desert tortoise sighting

State supplied exercise equipment placed along trails to cut down on obese riders

Back down to the flatland

The Rio Tintos almost look man made this time of day

Only shade for miles

Good fifth gear stuff, long way back to the truck, bike don't fail me now

Miller time

It was good.

 

[Travace]

you find the coolest things in the dez

Ha, bike don't fail me now. Yah, right! You know that bike will be around after the nuclear holicost, and the cock roaches will be riding it. Nice day trip again.

How on Earth does an exercise machine get put there?

Probably the same way spa's, couches and fridges do... A-Holes do the midnight dump runs... what gets me, they probably drive just as far to dump it illegally as they would to a dump site that they might have to pay. $10-20 sure beats the hefty fine if caught dumping illegally... ..... ....

I am even more intrigued when I see cars out in the desert and there is not even a road for them to get there. You do see some weird stuff out in the dez.

true that. thats what is so great about the dez... you never know what kind of cool stuff you will run across out there. Srad his brother and I found ATM machines once. Ive even found tunnels and mini tracks right here only a couple miles away from my house that i never knew was there till i started riding

Yeah I remember coming up to one in Spangler Hills last year. The thing was also full of bullet holes.

In a case of bizarro world, the increased price for scrap metal a few years ago resulted in lots of abandoned cars out in the dez being pulled out of places they had been for decades. There was a 57 T-Bird in a wash next to a place I have camped at that was pulled out, cars from the 30's and 40's, even a burned out bus that had been converted to a motorhome was pulled out. And we are talking miles off the nearest pavement.
Sometimes you find brand new stuff as well, such as tires. I have no use for low profiles, thought about getting the truck and collecting these. But where they were "borrowed" from was close by, Murphys law says security would have pulled up just as I was loading them up.
