Rick and Dawn have moved from thier camp site to camp with us for the remainer of the weekend. The guys are trying to find the problem with the power steering on our razor, but cannot find it.
Oh well, we are not going to let this stop us from going out and doing the Metal Masher trail. We have now riden for 5 straight days. Some of us are feeling a bit woren out. Russ and Jodee decide not to ride today, so it is us and Rick and Dawn. We all agree that we should go do the Metal Masher trail.
We are off for a day of good riding. We are headed to Metal Masher.....but wait lets try Gold Bar Rim first.
The trail is rocky (what we like best) and it is a beautiful day.
Around this corner we find this ....
It is about a 6-7 foot drop off...Well should we go or should we turn around....Only one machine has a wench.
After about a 15 minute discussion, not knowing what else we might find, and deciding we don't enough people to help us get back up this, we decided to turn around. All of the trail guides (books) we had with us just stated few machines go all the way and that there are 2 or 3 areas like this one. Oh we will be back to do this one day.
Off to find Metal Masher
We find the trail head. The signs state it is a 22 mile ride.
This is one of those areas ( and I cannot remember the name it is called) where you have two choices. Go up and over or go around. It is always fun to watch others try this first.
We decide to go around.
We are camped down there. I thought we were much further away from camp.
This trail took us about 4 hours. It was a slow rock crawling trail but so much fun.
We still have plenty of daylight and just could not see wasting it at camp. Time to find a another trail.
It has been a good day and lots of fun riding with Rick and Dawn. Now it is time to head to camp, have dinner and sit around the fire.
