This trail looks easy and anyone could ride it. However it does get snarly at different points.
Every now and then you will find these boards that will tell you about the history of a particular
Area. This is a story about the Candelilla plant. This is where the wax for lip balm, crayons, and chewing gum first came.
Jim's reading the sign above. Wow, it is in the middle. of nowhere
Stops for the festival. This days stop is in an old abandon mess hall for the miners of the area.
Theresa,who works with RBM as well and happens to be Barry'ssweetie was helping as well at the festival.
Jim and Mike ran into these ladies at the mine. They didn'get their names, they were from Dallas.
They met up with Crystal, Mike Long'ssweetie for many years
That evening at the RV camp there were lots of festivities. They were selling raffle tickets, had bike rodeo games going on, beer from local breweries and selling dinners of fajitas. Later in the evening
A local band would be playing.
Meet Donna and Bill, they were camped behind us in a Casita trailer. They sat with us around the camp fire the previous evening and now were waiting to win some goodies when they'd called out their raffle ticket number.
Now this is Wiley. We've known him for many years as a Rep. He has a cycling team called
Super Awesome. Their mascot is a Unicorn. Pink seems to be the color of choice. He had a small school bus painted pink that he had to retire. Now he has one of those shuttle buses that you see at the airport. It still has TSA on it. Wiley always has some tale to spin. Good guy
With the band playing in the background, this is a perfect way to spend the evening
Finally after all this time, here is Crystal and Mike Long together .
