Needed to take a break from the intensities of work, but it seems I only temporarily replaced one frustration with another.
Friday I headed into the hills to find a road that I explored 30 years ago on a Mt. bike. Revisiting Ponderosa Way held an extra bonus as I may have a chance to cross paths with some old Friends that I understand own some property in the canyon the road passes through. It was a bit of a disappointment. The 'road' showed little sign of it leading to someones residence, but then these folks are pretty unique and as well commute in a Land Rover. After a couple of bumpy miles as a result of the many gravel erosion berms (speed bumps?) I came to a locked gate.
Headed back to my home turf and came upon a fellow that was having engine trouble and could not get his quad to start. He indicated that white smoke was comming from the front of the quad. Seems his radiator was gunked up with dirt that was sticking to the oil soaked screen that covered the radiator.
Could not do much about the dirt but I was able to spare a quart of water as his radiator appeared dry. With cool water, the fellow was able to head back home for some sorley needed service.
Managed to find a couple of areas that I have likely been on many years ago but since I could not recall much of the experience I decided revisit the area (s) and see if I could take a few short videos.
As much as I like viewing the adventure video's of others,trying to present one can turn into a real chore. Here is what I have so far. For me, sometimes it plays real smooth, then again sometimes it is a series of starts and stops. Wonder if I would be easier to simple 'cut' and present photos instead of trying to stream a video.
