I really like this area. Even tho its dusty as hell there isn't a shortage of hairpins, rock step ups, root step ups, rivers, creeks, wooden bridges and just a lot of freaking rocks. There is supposedly 500 miles of trails. With that said, I like to get higher up in the hills in the off camber tighter stuff--less people. The views are spectacular!
I did 30.4 miles today per the GPS. I wanted to shoot for more but......I rounded a hairpin to see my buddy off his bike and running down the side of hill. HOLY CRAP!!! Some dood on a quad ride it off the trail on a stupidly steep hill, in the middle of a wild black berry patch...lastly it was on the edge of a sheer drop-off. If it would have gone over I would have left it. If you go over with it--you don't come back. Pretty ugly! My buddy and I spent about an hour pulling, pushing and pin it to win it to get it back to the trail. After that I had nothing left. Still a good day!
Getting started on the quad trails to get higher so we can ride the good trails. Nice views!

I freaking love this trail...off camber all the way. You come out of the deep woods into a clearing with some nice views.

Ohhh the options. A: take the singletrack--keep momentum and clear a log halfway up or veer to the right and take the trail with "numerous" hairpins and its a deep "V" shaped trail, in the bottom is cantaloupe size rocks to hose your momentum up and several root/stump step ups.

Option A the singletrack..looks easy..the log lurks where you cant see it--still fun.

Got a mosquito in my riding glasses (yellow lensed schampa's). Stopped and snapped this off from a small wooden bridge. The depth is never shown but still a cool pic:

Heading back down the mountain back to the trucks, about an hour out. This was right before the quad ate a healthy dose of sh!t.

Looping back to Mt Molly Loop, I really need webcam footage. Regardless, still a fun trail littered with roots and loose rocks.
