I was pulling my GPS data for this weekend's exploring. I figured you might get a kick out of this, here is what my tracks look like when I am in an area exploring. This is just one little section. I walk an area pretty thoroughly when I am looking for mines.
It's good, got a 60 mile ride in, as I walked in the door it started raining. Most of the bad stuff is skirting my area going North, still fairly breezy. Other than that I have been napping this afternoon. lol
This weekend's (5/15-5/16) exploration is on previous page

60 miles!! That's a heck of a long ride, I could not imagine riding for 60 miles. It is really awesome that you can go that far. I think I would probably fall out after a few miles LOL. I could definitely see riding in bad weather though, that sounds like fun!
Don't forget a 40+ pound pack, sidearm and rifle.
I could walk/climb in the desert from sun up to sun down and never stop smiling. I love it, absolutely love it.
When I look at those mines all I can think of is how incredibly hard work that was in the desert heat. No surprise there are graves. It must have been a hard life.

Miners were definitely a tough bunch. The mines in this area were not extensive in size, but there were many of them. It was a really fun weekend retracing their steps.

I like riding in stormy weather as long as it's not storming when I start. I've been out when tropical storms are bearing down. However, I do not like it when lightning is striking around me.

Yep, I do not do well walking, with my legs that decide to stop working without telling me. lol They do kick back in before I go to ground.
I much prefer cycling over walking. With my legs rotating I never notice if they quit.
That does look like a great weekend! Thank's for posting these amazing pictures
Looks like you guys had a lot of fun. How did the new storage setup work out?

I was thinking about picking up another mountain bike, however with the tj there is just no room. I could get one of those hitch mounts I guess, but it just seems like such a pain in the rear.

The new drawer, slide out, and gear bag are great! So much simpler for packing and repacking. Still a few more tweaks I want to do but it is good for now.
I also got a chance to use my new hammock...

Excellent pics and I am glad the new setup is working out well. I am envious of your ability to use your hammock LOL. I could try to string one between a couple of Saguaros, but it probably wouldn't work out well
I bought my LJ brand new in June 2005. It’s been a long ride and lots of things have happened between then and now. I’ve still got it and there have been numerous changes over the years and I’m pretty happy with how it sits. Upgrades will always continue happening a little at a time. The only...
We all know you can't fit anything in a TJ and everything that does fit has to have its "home". I built(or bolted together) my rig for easier trails, camping, and exploration and setting up/breaking down camp was always time consuming because everything is crammed in the back. These are the...
Thought I would share
Just bought this Rubi LJ
Pic attached, and I'm in the pic, HA. Stole the pic from the dealer web site. I go back Saturday to pic it up, its hard to drive 2 vehicles home without the trailer.
Plans for it revolve around 44s, and light bars and stuff like that.
Well...
So got some new stuff going on the heep over the next few weeks so thought I would start a thread showing off the progress.
Just picked her up yesterday in Sac and had some non visible items installed including a banks stainless header, centerforce clutch and lots of maintenance. I ordered a...
