Just after we got off the highway onto the Barry Goldwater Ranger we stopped so that everyone could reduce their air pressure in the Jeep tires to 13 pounds.
Up hills and over ridges, the desert looked lovely
I took the picture below so you could see how lush the octillo are this year, it is probably the warmest winter we have had, I am so hoping it means the cactus will bloom early as well.
Starting to climb over some rocks
Wonderful scenery through the pass
And then the path turned into washes and the rocks grew larger.
Here is a picture of the type of Jeep that should be out on this road, he made short work of things while we toiled.
Finally made the summit, looking back
And here is where we are headed next.
And the rocks grew larger yet, pictures hardly do the job.
But it was a beautiful warm day
Oh finally after five hours of climbing over boulders we are out on the ridges again.
We did okay, our friends Clyde and Jane with the identical Jeep as ours have now got
loose running boards and fenders so off to the shop they go.
Next time a little easier ride will make Jane and I much happier.
