Roamin' Around

Since we're a month and a half away from when the U.S. Forest Service closes Six Mile Canyon for the winter, it's best to do as much driving in it as one can.

Yesterday, I took the Jeep part way into the canyon and around the Jamestown area. The ground covered the aforementioned Six Mile Canyon, Whispering Cedars and the Flying J (to fuel up).

Initially, I used my phone's camera while in Six Mile Canyon, but during a break at home, I grabbed my big Canon camera and headed back out.

The weather at the time was clear and I was warm inside the Jeep.

Jamestown Views

This afternoon, I took a ride around the Blue Cedar Loops (east and west) in Jamestown on the the mini bike.

Below are some views taken during the ride:

A little ago, I headed down to the Flying J to pick up a couple of things at their convenience store. Since it has been a nice day, I bought along a camera and took a few pictures.

For something to do, I headed out to take some photos here and there.
