A ride into the edge of the Fortuna Foothills.........

 

Our Location: 

North of MM 4, Ogilby Road, Winterhaven, California

 

This morning the temps were as pleasant as yesterday morning and the day pretty much followed the same heat as yesterday. A beautiful day with no complaints here from us. 

 

Some of the roads looked like this. We are heading back to those hills in the distance.


Some not quite so smooth...


A few little bumps along the way...

The hills are closer now.

 

I headed out this morning, leaving Riley behind as she didn't want to come, around 8:30 am, a garbage run before my drive to Wellton. I arrived at Jerry and Elva's place about 9:45 am. Jerry and I headed off toward the Fortuna Foothills in his toy!! Jerry is an excellent guide and driver, thanks again Elva for the loan. Thanks Jerry for the wonderful day, I appreciate it more than I can tell you. I had a very good time. 

 

Some of the ride was like this, flat views with dust in the offing.

Some folks ahead are creating that dust.

Some of the ride was through this rolling type of landscape.

Some very barren looking spots too.

Back home around 2:30 pm or so, Riley and I  spent the rest of the day just relaxing and enjoying the warmth. Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoy the ride. I'll have enough pics for a few days. 

 

I love the view.

 
There is a beauty here that is hard to describe.

The distances one can see is amazing.

Jerry having a snack!!


  The internet seemed to be having an issue and I couldn't upload the last four photos last night. It seems to be better today. I'll write another post later.

 

Until next time... 

 

Take care, stay safe, 

 

Deb

  1. It's an interesting area. It's not as picturesque as other areas. But the ruggedness has a different kind of beauty. Jerry is always ready for a ride.

    1. Ah well, it's one of the hardships of not staying in the south where it's warm.

  3. Glad you were able to get out on an ATV ride. Bet it was fun to ride out in the desert without worrying about getting stuck.
