Rock crawlin' n formations

We took some friends over the Woodcutter's Pass (aka Dripping Springs Pass) yesterday. I don't know why it has these two names. Woodcutter is the old name. But, let me tell you, there are no dripping springs and no wood to be cut!...About 14 miles of slow going over rocks of all sizes...The Raz'r and our two-up scraped bottom a few times no matter how careful we were. We all even did a bit of rock moving. The Suzuki, which carries two people also, made it over without hitting bottom. But since it's only made for one rider, has the shorter wheelbase. The shocks on our Polaris and the Raz'r also are reeeally squeaky now. I don't know what a person does about that, but it's bothersome.
It was a good ride. We had been over before, but my memories were a lot worse than reality. I think because last time was one of the first we had ever riden a quad. Therefore, I had the fear in me! But I've now advised friends, who aren't so sure of their riding, to go through with us. Old wrecked cars to see (they didn't make it)...old mines...cactus...mountains of rocks...lots of critters (lizards n squirrels...lol).

Then we led the group out over a road we had never been on...a little ridge-running...wash weaving...and powerline racing...under the freeway...under a moving train...straight to Ligurta for wonderful hamburgers. And we told the others...we knew exactly where we were all the time...ha-ha.

Sometime before I toss this camera for a new one, I'll learn the panoramic photo feature. Meantime, we stopped to enjoy (laugh at) a particular rock formation and took this series of photos of one wash...enjoy...
