Awesome ride today. Mostly downhill except for one big climb to Sitgreaves Pass. It wasn’t a bad climb at all but I didn’t like the downhill. It was much steeper than the uphill and I had to brake a lot more than I like to. Freaks me out to go that fast.
This is the first of many pictures I took today. Somehow I got it twice so we’ll have to deal with it. Can’t get one to go away.
On the way up, we passed Thimble Mountain and an interesting out cropping. The down side wasn’t as pretty.
This is where Oatman sits on the other side of the pass.
The reward for climbing the pass was the town of Oatman up in the hills and far from any other civilization. Not sure why it is there except maybe for mining years ago. Only inhabited by 135 people. Almost like a hippy town. They had wild burros walking in the streets which were actually very tame. People walked right up to them and petted them.
We are back in the hot zone now. First time I’ve sweat in days (or weeks). Guess that’s the way it will be now to the end. We dropped into the Mojave desert today and will be in it for two or three more days. Mountains seen from a distance as I rode down in to the desert.
Sorry you have to deal with my computer inadequacies. Apparently, this is the best I can do.
