Looks like we had a WRR patrol going. Thanks so much for such a great event! It was fantastic! My first time to Big Bend. I will be back....
In fact, I found out that King Kong is still lurking out there. But more about that later.
Day 1 - We rode River Road and turned to take on Black GAp Road. A WeeStrom joined in with our 3 WRR's. An unlikely combination, but it worked real well!
Headed to St Elana Canyon and the start of River Road.
Here are the views from River Road. I think all these were from RIver ROad.
We took a rest at the start of Black Gap Road. It was labeled as 4 wheel drive only so made sure Mr. WeeStrom really wanted to go down it. He was game, so on we went.
We made it up the big hill on Black Gap and looked back. Oops! The Wee had gotten off the edge and nearly too the short way down!
Took 5 of us to pull him back up on the road. I will let him tell the rest of that story. BUt I have to give him credit. He jumped on and blasted the rest of the way up!
End of the dirt on day 1.
DAy 2 - Just 2 of us did Old Ore Road and then came bach to Terlingua and rode Hen Egg. One WRR said it wanted to go to Mexico and the Wee was looking for repiars.
Here is Tink, my desert flower at the start of Old Ore.
And there is the way forward:
Old Ore is a really nice jeep trail.
Topped out with a spectacular view
I can't remember if this is from Old Ore or Hen Egg
A dry steam bed we crossed. I bet this can be flash flood city.
We had lunch at Rio Grand Village, had a look at the canyon and then hit the pavement to Terlingua. After a bit of rest and at the hotel we cruised through Hen Egg. Hen Egg was surprising. Nice are in there.
End of day 2, except for th edrinking and carousing.
