During dusk, the desert often takes on a warm, golden glow we refer to as "Golden hour" in the few moments before the sun dips below the horizon. Add in some clouds, and that can more reddish in tone.

I swear this is a straight, raw pic with no editing...

The beauty of nature. Even in a baren desert.

DG, that dozer is not there for any major dirt moving. It appears to have a push blade for helping to load scrapers. Additionally, it appears to be set up for installing some type of cable or maybe water line. As loose as the right track is, I suspect it may be waiting for some type of track repair.

My ride today. Up to the end of where they plow to and back. I stay off the side trails because the sleds are rippin around now and its their time now. Kind of an unwritten rule here. Still good to get out for some fresh air.

That's the snowfall that everyone around here dreams of. We occasionally get a dump like that but it's hard to enjoy because everyone loses their mind. I need to get the soft cab on my Pioneer so I can hopefully enjoy several days traversing the backroads before they're cleared. Thanks for sharing and getting me motivated.

A few more -

A loooooooong walk to camp -

Temple Mountain -

So how long did it take to accumulate this much sediment to make this?

Look at the layers of sediment under this cliff -

We are way behind in snow. We just had the worst wildfire year in history here and looking at severe drought conditions if it doesn’t dump. We had a green Christmas which is 42 yrs old here. I have windshield and mid panel with a busted zipper and I just dress for it.

This retirement gig sux -

There's a trail up there - BTDT -

Temple Mountain ... again -

Being solo, I wimped out. The highway is a mile ahead of me.

So how does sandstone maintain a vertical cliff for eons?

That's a whole LOT of time on the bottom of an ocean -

Factory Butte -

I learned later that there's a road down there so I had to go back and ride it.

Only a child, a fool, or a liberal could believe in man-made global warming after seeing CID's stunning photos of the amazing rock formations created by the forces of nature over tens or thousands of years.

Thanks for the info. I edited the video description to suit.

I think I mentioned that I'm pretty sure I'd seen this dozer a few miles away a while back, and after sifting through the pics here, I came across it...



Back in 2020, This was parked just across an old cable/steel bridge from Kearny. IIRC, this is one of the first times I had ridden over in that area. Now it's probably my favorite little loop.

Where I am a little farther south, they say”When the mountains turn pink, it’s time to drink”.

Cancer almost killed me eight years ago ... but it didn't and I'm thankful, everyday, that I discovered SxSs at the same time I aged out of dirt bikes. The Talon will keep me exploring the backcountry until my health fails for the last time.

I couldn't close the windshield fast enough. Pine tree dumped the cab full of snow lol

28s with no rubbing. Think I will go 29s next.
