6/18/06-Well I got bored sitting around the house and it looked like the rain was over, so I went for a ride
I was just itching to go exploring with my new(to me) GPS. My ram mount came in earlier in the week and I hard wired the power to the battery so I went looking for some dirt roads that I had not been on. Made my way from Tomball, TX to Montgomery, TX and topped off my 6 gallon tank at the Texaco then headed west. Here is the route I took, made my way up to my usual CR roads north of Dacus then worked my way back south to 105 then did some exploring south of Navasota.
Came across a turtle who was making it's way across the road, it was probably wondering what in the world I was doing.
It was actually kind of cool outside which made for some nice riding.
The dirt roads where in perfect shape after all the rain, no dust and kind of loose. I came across several beasts on the roads, after all the storms there were fences down and quite a few limbs down.
There were some incredible ranches along the way.
This one was over near Navasota
On one of the County Roads I came across an Emu ranch
My parents once raised Emus’, I had thought everyone had gotten out of the business or just let the herd's go.
Ahhh... nothing like hearing the thumping bass of the Emu.
This was a cool road, it ran next to a wild game ranch. The land was for sale so I thought I would check it out.
I was taking the usual bridge shot when I noticed a heard of Fallow Deer.
Sorry about the quality, I had it zoomed in to the max and the lens really stinks with this camera.
Back to the main CR roads...
Trying to get creative.. almost time for some new knob’s.
Exploring the power line trails....
The mud was nice and sticky..
Right after this photo the trail pretty much ended. As I was turning around I noticed a big wire spool with an old smokey bbq pit setup up next to it tucked back in the woods. There were also several cans of potted meat next to the pit and a few jugs of water. I assume someone was living back here in the middle of nowhere, they must not want to be found so I high tailed it out of there.
Back on the main roads, I came out in Todd Mission and stopped for a water break at Henry's.
I think my luck was starting to run out as far as the weather, so I started making my way back home. The skies were getting darker....
Well I made it back home after a 4 hour ride. The Garmin 60cs GPS rocks
, I can't believe I have been riding all this time without one. I rode most of the day with out getting wet, not 15 minutes after pulling into the garage the skies let loose. Talk about good timing.
I also attached the GPS track... one is the .gdb and the other is .gpx

I really liked the pics esp. the one with the turtle. That was a cool gate -- they really spend a lot of time on the detail.
You could put some knobbies on your SV
