Last week we
got our permit to go off highway in the desert at Bulldog Canyon. Even though target practice is prohibited,
looks like some people can’t read.
We headed in
behind our friend, Bill. He works at the
grill also and does a lot of off roading with his Jeep.
The pictures
I took on this excursion were taken through dusty windows while bouncing up and
down (the road was a lot rougher and narrower than I anticipated). We spent most of the day out here and had a
good time.
A lot of the
pictures I took through the front window had my reflection in them when the sun
was hitting just right.
The horses
didn’t really want to share the road. We
got lucky and only met two vehicles coming toward us, luckily there was room to
pull off the road so both vehicles could be accommodated.
This is Bill
getting a little more adventuresome than we are (or at least me).
The scenery
out here is beautiful but the desert isn’t in full bloom yet – maybe next
week. Since we have had so much rain it
is anticipated by everyone around here that the desert blooms will be great.
We did pass
this one spot where the desert poppies were beautiful.
We stopped
for a photo op at a place where the road was wide enough that other vehicles
could pass us. Our Jeep is the one in
back.
We left home
at 10:00 and rode on the trails until we took a lunch break at the Saguaro Lake
Marina restaurant.
This is
where I got my only wildlife shot of the day.
We took a
tour of this lake last year, it is huge and the scenery is amazing. After lunch we headed back to the desert.
