Hi all.
This old guy told us about the
scenic road he likes taking in his truck. I do not know when he took this ride,
but ours was something else.
Well we drove through the mountains to where this
road turned off the main road. It turned into a nice dirt road through the back
country. We had driven about 40 miles, seeing no signs of human life except
one SUV.
We came to where the dirt road divided. The road had a nice big sign
and was wider, so we took it.
About ten miles later after seeing deer we came
to this beautiful mountain lake with the tall mountains beside it. We enjoyed
our lunch beside it. Then we continued.
Can to a big waterfalls, about 200 feet
drop. Enjoyed it.
Then continued through the wood, through streams and mud
holes for about another ten miles. Then it came to a creek and just
stopped.
So we had to turn around and go back out to were the sign was and
contiunue down the other road. Then about 25 miles later we came upon two
people on 4wheelers. We stopped them, asked where were we, they really did not
know, except ahead there was a sign to the road about 14 miles ahead. So we
continued on. We came to where the road divided again.
The road was narrow at
time but passable. So we took the road marked to the main hyway. We went about
15 miles and started working our way through snow drifts, until it became
totally snowed shut. There was no way we better try to go farther. So we turned
around and worked our way back through the snow and got back to the road divid.
We now had traveled over 140 miles in nowhere. So we took the other road,
because I was not sure by now if we had gas to go all the way back since we
knew what we came through. So off we went.
After about another 15 miles we came
to another big snow drift. We had come down out of the mountains now quite
away. I told Sandy, if we could get through this one, it should be the last of
the snow. So growing up in Pa driving in the snow leason came to play. We
hit is running and blasted through, Came out sideways, Sandy screaming. But we
made it. It was the last of the snow. The road started getting better dirt
road, but no signs of human life. Sandy started saying. Is this a road to the
end of the world.
After about 40miles we finally saw a ranch house and then
came to a main road. Took it into a town got gas and headed back to the camp.
It was awesome back country. We did
enjoy it, especially when we found life.
We had fun with the old guy later.
Here are some shots.
