The Tuesday and Wednesday after Christmas were absolutely perfect for riding. I started out around 11:30am the day after Xmas and went dirt road exploring NE of Navasota out to Independence and then up to Caldwell and over to Bryan. The plan was to do a route I had quickly made which was to go from Montgomery - Navasota - Independence - Caldwell -then NE to Cottonwood - and back down to Montgomery, the super loop of dirt roads (or at least as many as I could find.)
I got half of the route done on Tuesday which was from Montgomery and the whole east side of highway 6 and made it home back to Tomball just before dark.
This an old wooden bridge on old highway 105 before it dead ends just NW of Dobbin.
I worked my way via mostly county roads which were unpaved over to Navasota. I had to jump onto the pavement for short stretches to connect up with the planned route. I came across a few CR roads that were not accessible so I re routed a few times.
The closer I got to Independence the Oak trees became monstrous, I just love this area and the history.
Found the the old Independence Cemetery
Right after these photo's and after I put the camera away, I was riding down this road and I looked over to the left to see 8 doe's sprinting with me. It was amazing as they leaped over the barbed wire fences as a group and continued to ride with for a mile or so.
As I started heading back toward Snook the terrain became fairly flat with farm land as I approached the river bottom.
As I got back to the Bryan area it was approaching 4:30 pm and it was time to head back home so I slabbed back home before it got to cold.
