Here are the tracks on the left and the trail
on the right. The little washed out ravine in the middle of the
trail was tough to avoid sometimes and liked to grab your front tire.
The trail rolls up and down, but never much more than about thirty
feet up or down.

Here is Julie pondering a moderately wavy
part of the trail. There was very little shade, but it's a "dry
heat," so even in the 95 degree heat, it didn't feel all that hot while
riding.

Julie wisely stopped at the top of this very
steep hill and I said, "I'll go down first and you can see if I wipe
out." The trail had lots of sand made it hard to use brakes at
the top, then it had a couple of sharp turns. I couldn't make one
of the turns and flew over the handlebars and over a 5-foot drop off.
In this shot, you can just make out the shape of me heading down
the hill to my doom.

It turns out that the tracks are actually
active.

After the ride, we came back to town and
wandered the city a little. The buildings in the city limits seem
to adhere to very strict zoning regulations. Even this parking
garage looks like building out of Disney World.

We're already planning our return trip.
