An Exciting ATV Ride

So up the mountain we went!  There was a pretty good road to drive up on and we did switchbacks most of the way up.  The road was paved with rocks (if you could call it that?) as the road had to be kept up because the towers were at the top!  In some places, the bushes and trees overlapped onto the road and you had to be careful because there are thorns (and I mean THORNS!!) on most of them!

The view was amazing when we reached the top!




Once we got back to the bottom of the mountain, we went over to another road and took this picture of what we climbed on the ATV's.


It was a great day to ride - some cloud cover so we didn't get burnt which was nice!


When we got quite a ways on the arroyo and stopped under the highway overpass, Patty and Leonard realized that they had lost the pillow that was strapped on the back to sit on if you wanted.  Patty chose not to sit on it and somehow the strap had come loose and the pillow had fallen off!  Darn!  By that time it was getting late enough that there was no way we could have started searching for it as you drive all over that arroyo and there's lots and lots of bushes!!  Oh well, the owner wasn't too concerned and we did look to buy another cushion but to no avail in our small town so Leonard just gave money to the owner to buy one when he goes to Cabo the next time!
