after three days of battling our way down the dirty devil, jon and i were looking forward to some serious bike riding, even if that meant a 7 hour climb. which of course it did!the first few hours of that climb were very sweet canyon double track on the poison springs road.
lots of puddles, stream crossings, and shade made for an amazingly easy climb out to our only major road crossing (highway 95, in the middle of nowhere). after an uneventful crossing of said highway we took the first unused dirt track headed west and got real friendly with the granny gear.
unused, untracked, and unbelievable dirt tracks were the special of the day.
still climbing.......there was a pile of snow in the trees here, and i did throw a snowball at bailey.
pretty sure i missed.......
after topping out on pennellen pass we enjoyed a pretty long DH on the west side of the henries, scared up a buffalo, and camped amongst these grand cedars.another peacefull day with the roads and trails totally to ourselfs.
our morning ride started like most days, with epic empty dirt track.
so glad to be digging up our food and water cashe!!
if this bus could talk??next section
the escalante river...... stay tuned
