I was looking for a reason to do some more off pavement riding this last weekend and ended up here:
http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=19 ... 17&vpsrc=6 Up a very steep road, lots of pea gravel and corduroy, but not a problem. The ride back down was a bit more interesting, almost bit the dust (literally) when I went wide in a tight turn to avoid some rocks and plowed into a berm of powder. Front wheel was pointed left, but I kept going straight! Managed to wobble my way out of it... Anyway, the cabin is on public land around 1000' above the highway:
What's interesting is this grove of evergreen trees, rare on the islands:
Back at the highway, you can see the biggest grove of trees as a bump on the horizon, between the sign and the telephone pole in this picture:
I picked up a couple of the giant pine cones and headed on home:
Hope you enjoyed!
