It is great to be able to hike in desert again.
Nice cactus.
Big fallen tree.
Small fallen tree
We are hiking the Tail of the Whale.
Going down to Pinyon Mtn Valley Road.
This is a famous off road.
First there is the Squeeze. When you get thru this there is no return back.
Our group here is hoping to return back.
This is a drop-off (not for cars) that we will attack when we are returning.
Continuing on the road.
This will be our lunch place on a top of the cars road drop-off.
You need good brakes and fate to do it.
Lower part of the drop-off.
Looks like there was a big party at the Honeymoon Cabin.
Everybody is welcome!
The first dam.
What are these wires doing here?
This is a nice canyon. John’s book says go back. No not us.
Somebody blocked it.
We got over that. There are some other medium obstacles.
Here is that big drop-off we saw from the top.
It is doable. We don’t have to go back.
Snake on the road! When it woke up it was a very fast snake.
This road will make your vehicle High Clearance.
Our complete group.
