Boondocking in Rabbit Valley - Rides and Trails
Rides and Trails - We are Riding the Trails at Rabbit Valley but No Dinosaurs Today
Monday, September 18th to Wednesday September 20th

Had to do some work first before we went out for a ride. Boondocking can be a great adventure, but you have occasionally some chores.

This picture was taken September 18th when we were doing the work related stuff. As you can see, there is a new addition in the back here, it is a Blue Tote. This blue tote holds 32 gallons, the biggest that they come. We have a black tank of 18 gallons and a gray tank of 22 gallons. Hmmm, can anyone guess what I am thinking here? thankfully, neither tank was full so it was not too bad. Also notice our shower blowing in the breeze. We take outdoor showers so we do not fill the black tank.
We have not hooked it up yet
Here is Sasha draining the Nasty Part II. (we showed pictures of him draining the nasty at a campground from a previous trip.) I will not do this. Will Not.
September 20th Here is our campsite, we have now been boondocking for 5 days. Our toys are just out there, because not too many people come out this way and when they do, they go to the official campsite called Rabbit Valley Campground. There they have toilets, tables and fire rings. Here we have a smooth ground.
Here is my Little Donkey, ready to ride. This Donkey will go anywhere and likes to climb.
This is the trail that we will take. Sasha is ready and raring to go.
This is just one of the views that we had, I called this The Hand but there were no signs posted as to what it is called.
I got up closer to The Hand and Sasha took my picture
Then Sasha got closer to me, and I can't show you the next picture...
This is the road that we were traveling on, I called this picture Yikes!
This road is considered Easy by some, I call it Crazy and double black. We did not go on this part of the trail, thankfully there was a way around, which we took.
Here are some of the view that we saw. We did not go down to this area as you can see in the next picture, the trail was steep and the ground was sand.
This is the road not taken as it was full of sand. It kind of reminded us of Havasupai and the trail we took then. 
My shirt seems as blue as the sky.
This ended up being the end of the road for us, we turned back after these pictures were taken. We did not feel justified at going down or over further. We were taken to the best of our abilities and we felt it was time to go back. I think that if you go too far, you just might not come back.
On the way back we saw some cool hills and Sasha took my picture. Even though the weather is warm, I wear that jacket for protection and when we are cruising at 20 mpg, it can get cool.
I am going down a steep hill, I documented the hill in the home page of Sasha going up, this is the hill that I am now going down.
Beautiful scenery and Sasha the Expert
Love these rocks, they give shade or radiate heat as necessary
Here I am getting comfortable with my ATV, I had just ridden a hard road, done 4-wheel drive in Low and High and we are headed back for lunch.
Up Close
We decided to take an evening ride after lunch and a nap. We rode out around 6 pm, so the sun is starting to set.
Sasha thought that these were arches, but as we got closer, we saw they were just cuts in the rock.
We went over the I-70 roads and went to the Dino mine. It looks as though it has been cleaned out. But people still find bones here.
Looking the other way.
No this is not a bone, but it looks like one from a distance

That ends the amazing rides that we had, stay tuned for more when we go back to the dinosaur mine and the trails through time.

Check out the Next Day, Dinosaurs! Checking out the dinosaurs in the area.
