Today's Ride

of course i understand how important water is, it just seems to rain every weekend now

Had a nasty Hangover today.

Awesome pix RA!



Top of All In yesterday.  Perfect weather this spring for the flora!  Wild Columbine is out in bunches.  And the Indian Moccasin (Lady Slipper) is abundant too.  I’ll try and get some pix along Make Believe and Upper Twisted.  

I always look forward to your flower photos, ScottyJack.

Ditto... phlox is in full bloom down here - rides are a purple white blur, so cool! My pics were lame and don’t do it justice

Lady Slippers along Make Believe at Beaver Brook Tract!

My grandpa Jack called these Indian Moccasins.  I like that name better.

this pic from last year just popped up on my screen saver, looks the same this year except we've had gray skies for what seems forever... you can see some of the invasive autumn olive left center. The park was overun and has removed 250 acres of the stuff (and unfortunately some sweet singletrack) over the last 2 years and is replanting native grasses and wildflowers. It's been an interesting transformation to say the least.

That had to be a bit creepy riding down that at night?

Only if you are a snowmobiler flatlander....

Hahahahahahagahahahshah!

Real mtn men are not afriaf of the dark!

After six long weeks of forest closers we finally got enough rain that the FS opened em back up at 8 AM yesterday. It felt like a rope drop on Christmas morning. Monsoon season is here!

We are actually between 50-75% of normal rain for the summer.  Moderately dried out soils.  El Nino Modoki setting up so we should catch up late summer into fall.  You guys may be in for some serious drought though  

Drought? We’re getting hammered right now and El Niño is generally our better winters.

we need rain!  

Well if you get big snow Im coming out to ski taos!  Turning the big 5 0 next season and I got a friend with a house on the access road!  

YES! Ive been jonesing to get to Taos but life has been having it's own ideas for me the last bunch of years. :C

Very cool pic

Thanks Camp. Come out west, let’s ski.

We got a fresh coat of white on the Peaks here in Flagstaff today.

I rode a bike the other day:

The rain just won’t stop! Things are greening up nicely.

Beautiful!  It dry here!!
