Saturday March 13th
Another ATV outing was held. I again got to lead the group .This trip was to the top of the Florida Mountains. We all met at an intersection part way down Hwy 11 called Sunshine. From there we headed South to County Rd 016 (Cameno Doese (Spelled wrong but 12 in Spanish)) No it does not make sense. There were only 4 of us but what the hell, we had a good time. I had been up there a couple of years ago but the so called road had washed out after that. The trip up was slow and sometimes quite hair raising.
The first picture is of the rock building at the bottom of the hill. That’s part of the Florida’s in the background. They are pretty awesome rocks.
We had left the vehicles about a half mile back and rode up to here just so we would have more ride time. After all it’s been awhile since our last ride.
This is one of the mines that we passed on the way up.
I think that this is one of the local miners……………
One of the switch backs on the way. Note the background in this. It’s a long ways down there.
This almost up at the top and is a hunters cabin which is sporting a new roof this year. A great place for us to have lunch, which we did.
Is this a view or what?
After a nice leisurely lunch and a bit of rest we headed the rest of the way up. Damn! it’s windy up here. We had a slight breeze all the way up but it was warm and felt good. Up here the wind was ripping pretty good and we were forced to put the long sleeve shirts back on. How ever it was very nice. We also passed this mine on the final leg up.
Oh Yeah, here is a Century Tree also.
We had an uneventful trip back down. Here is a link to Stu’s blog which has a few more pictures of the trip.
