The Great Adventures of the Yamaha Viking VI
17-Mar-21

Group:
  1. Wild Cat 4 Seater: Mark, Greta, Bob & Debbie Cumback
  2. Yamaha Viking VI: Gary and Gnettie Eisert
Mark wanted to take Bob and Debbie out for a trip, both of them had not been out in the desert for a long time.
   
We took the back way from the power line road and went to the stone cabins. Then on up to the other ruin.
   
It's a Kodak moment. (Shit I'm dating myself.) Here's Us !!
   
Fireplace. Must have been warm and cozy years ago. Grate till intact.
   
A crested saguaro in the distance. A stray dog happened to join us. Poor guy. Some city folks probably dropped him off in the desert.
   
Here's Bob watering the dog. He was sure thirsty. On the other side of the wash is the old water tank and trough.
   
Trough Gnettie walked off way into the desert to take this closeup of the crested.
   
On the way out, down in the wash are the old grain grinding holes. Had to grind the grain before you could bake the bread.
   
From there we ventured on the Black Mountain mine, a manganese mine from the war time era.
The desert road to the Black Mountain mine. Potty stop.
   
Down in the mine. Gnettie exploring the caves.
