A much different day today. Rain overnight and some early this morning, very cool and damp today. Possibility of more rain later in the day. I do however see some blue sky peeking out here and there. Hopefully it clears up and things are warmer.
 |
| We were riding a ridge top. You can see it's not very smooth in the desert. |
 |
| You can see the road way over to the right and a bit lower down. |
 |
| We went over in the direction after a while. |
 |
| We followed the ridge top for a long way. |
Chatted with Janet last night for a while. Things are going well. Chatted with dad as well, seems like colder weather and more snow are on the way for them. Well it is still winter up there on the Rock.
 |
| So many layers and colours. |
 |
| We eventually ended up driving not far from those lighter colours of sand. Long way to get there. |
 |
| No photo can do this justice. |
 |
| A bit of a wider view than the pic above. |
More photos of my ride with Jerry. I hope you are enjoying the trip.
 |
| The roads were rough in places but the views made it all worth while. |
 |
| Lots of cholla and ocotillos. |
 |
| Rough country, glad I wasn't walking. |
 |
| We are heading down that opening in the hills. |
A quick storm rushed through this afternoon, lasted for about 15 minutes. The sky was very dark, the wind picked up quickly and the rain fell for about 30 seconds before it started to hail along with the rain. A few photos for you to see.
 |
| The white dots are hail. |
 |
| You can see hail on the mat. |
 |
| Lots of water fell in a short period. |
 |
| You can see the water rushing by, not deep but fast. |
 |
| Hail by the fire pit. |
Until next time....
Take care, stay safe,
Deb
