The fellows did a couple "guy" rides this week. I figure, when we gals do some things without the guys AND have a heck of a good time, the guys need the same time without us. So I stayed home and did my thing.
They had a great time both days, although Norman complained about a sore butt after the second ride of over 100 miles. This is a picture of Harv and Bob in front of one of the tunnels constructed through the hills for the canals that water the hundreds of 'salad' fields in the area.
Isn't this a great picture of the guys on top of one of the ridges? The "boys" have been flying quite a bit lately, so we have lots of jet trails in the sky. They are sure exciting to watch, especially out where we live. They fly pretty low when turning back into the bombing range.
Any-the-way...I like this picture.
This a picture of some of the wetlands surrounding the Colorado River. And, Yes, they did ride north and find the river this time...lol...The following picture will give you an idea of the ridges we've all ridden along north of town.
The next day they took Woodcutter's Pass in the bombing range over to see the mobile anti-aircraft guns and the turquoise mine. I keep calling these tanks, but they're not.

I keep calling these tanks, but they're not.This is a picture of the Pass. It's pretty rough, but a fun ride. Several cars...trucks...left abandoned and stripped on this trail. We have wondered how they made it as far as they did. Harv likes to ride reeeeeal fast, and he found this trail a bit frustrating.
And another good picture Norman took of the three of them with one of the anti-aircraft guns. Pretty amazing that they have been in the desert for decades and the turrets and guns still move. They are definitely fun to play with and a good lunch stop.
This is the long ride...around 100 miles. We use our extra 1 gallon can of fuel to be certain, we can make it into Wellton. Wellton is on the other side of the mountains from us. We fuel up there and then ride along one of the canals back home...a nice flat...wide...fast...dirt road...
