Just WOW!

Good Morning and welcome to day 2 of riding the trails.  Yesterday’s adventure was indeed nail biting for me.  Zeke didn’t like the shaking of the jeep over the rocks. When we arrived back to camp, he ate a bit but really just wanted to get some rest.  I feel bad for him but he has a nice setup in the jeep..  I hope he does better today.

 So yesterday we hit the million dollar highway. I ain’t gonna lie, it was intense with the curves and cliffs.  There were some areas I just didn’t want to look.  I do try but the curves and cliffs make me feel sick. When we arrived at the trail head, we did Corkscrew, Hurricane, California, and Picayne trails. We left camp around 10am and arrived home about 5pm.  We had lunch at a old mine mill where I got some drone footage.  When we were at the top of Hurricane, we got a picture of all of us at the top.  I think it was over 12 thousand feet.  Again, pictures will be added probably at the end of this.  The KOA’s internet is poor and comes and goes.  There are going to be a lot of pictures of mountains that most people probably won’t appreciate but us.  We saw snow areas too!  I am hoping to get a picture of us in the snow.  The trails are nothing like Michigan trails.  You cannot just stop and check out your area.  You need to find an area where you can let traffic pass.  We always find a way to have a few people behind us.

 

When we at the first scenic view on Corkscrew, this idiot thought it was a good idea to pee off the mountain even though the bathrooms were not that far away.  Nice one, jackass! They were from California..figures.  What a class act.

 

We were at some high points that I was asked to take the drone up but I didn’t.  It was so windy and I am on top of a mountain.  I was already nervous being on top with the wind, I don’t have the confidence to fly while being nervous.  Sorry my stories are all over the place but it was all so amazing! I wish I could add some pictures to each day but as I type this on Word, the guest wifi just pooped out again. 

 

Anyway, today I have no idea what we are doing but I guess we will find out.  I am usually in bed after dinner because of my need to wake up so darn early.  I think we are doing breakfast at the KOA’s breakfast place.  All I know is that they have cinnamon buns and I want one before we leave for our next stop.  I love pastries!

 

So I will  close this entry by saying, yes these trails made me nervous but I am trying to be more positive about it.  My hubby and friends will protect and keep me safe.  Happy trails and until tomorrow….

 

A presto!
