Hey Gang,
Just got back from the desert tonight and MAN what a TRIP !!!! Bruce Harrington and I spent a couple of days exploring some really GREAT places. But first.... A place called the Pinyon Dropoff... Bruce and I decide to take a trip down Split Mt in the Anza Borrego Desert ( down in SoCal ) and we were trying to see if we could make it through.... Well, I can say we REALLY tried.. As you can see by the map we came in through Split Mt ( Fish Creek Wash ) and took in some of the the sites ( we went to the wind caves... but that's another post ). The blue line shows a relatively easy road, the red line.... not so much..
As we made our approach headed towards the S2 ( mainly a Western direction ), we didn't realize that further down the trail that this was a ONE way trail... In fact at this time it wasn't even in our heads. We came up on the drop off and stopped and looked it over ( please understand, we had just ONE vehicle and safety is a MUST ).
We had no idea what was ahead, but is was a loooong way back and about 5-6 miles forward so a decision had to be made, and the " pilot " was looking it over..... His answer.... " Ah $%^* lets go for it "... and I said " Ok.... But I guess I should aaaa take pictures and NOT ride in the truck "
And here is what it looked like.....
Top of the hill
and a waaaaaayyyyyyy we go !!!!!
aaaa Dear Lord just this once I would like to ask a favor....
Thank You Baby Jesus ( quote from Will Ferrell )
OK... So Bruce made it, and I bowed before his GREATNESS !!!! But let's continue down the trail..... Wait a minute what's this thing
Heartbreak Hill and won't ya know it... I got NO pixs of how much WORST this one was going up.. and then that's when I heard " %&^% &&^% &*& ^ *^^ %% we have to go back !!!!! and when you're right you're right.... So guess what we get to do.... YEP....go UP the drop off !!! And this is where I was soooooo glad that I was with someone who REALLY knew how to handle his vehicle. THANK YOU Bruce for not just knowing what to do..... but also DOING it...
mmmm This looks familiar...
Heeeeeeere we go !!!!!
almoooooost there....
YEAH BABY !!!!!!
And this was just one tiny part of two ABSOLUTELY GREAT days ..... PLEASE give KUDOS to Bruce for doing what he did, I for one, was TREMENDOUSLY impressed with his ability... GREAT JOB BRUCE !!!!
Enjoy gang
