Yesterday's Drive

Yesterday was perfect. It was about 70° outside, so it was neither cold nor hot. It was a good day for some more Jeepin'. 

I took a drive up the hill from home and reached Mustang Road, an east-west side street. It tapered off as a hilly dirt road.

I drove it for a bit and reached a barbed wire fence that had a sign indicating that it was national forest property on the other side. There was an opening in the fence at that point, so I drove in.

Up ahead was a square area (photo above) that had some sort of border that was of sheet metal. It may have been some sort of corral at one time. It looked as if it hadn't been used for a long time. I drove around it for a while then headed back out though the opening I came in. I think this is a part of the Six Mile Canyon area of the Cibola National Forest. This was the first time I had driven in it. As the canyon was still closed to vehicles, I didn't feel it was prudent to continue driving in it. I could have gotten a citation from a patrolling ranger. 

Still it was fun driving in an area I hadn't been in before.

After getting home, I fired up the mini bike. It had been over a month since I last did so. It took a while to start, but it eventually fired up.
