This is mom looking at a British tea towel with the Royal Family's ascension timeline. It was a gift from Fred.
A little backstory: The love of Fred's life, Genie, passed away five years ago last month. Fred decided that he was finally ready to go through Genie's things he had packed away. The instant he saw the tea towel he thought "I know who this is going to".
Mom was moved by the thought behind the gift and the touching note Fred sent with it.
Thanks, amigo.

In New Mexico, when you say King, most folks think your referring to Gov.
Bruce King.
But once upon a time we had another ‘King.’
He lived in the rather remote town of Roy, NM.
So he could have been the King of NM Swing before he became the
King of Western Swing.

Two of my friends and I went to State Line, an old mining town in south western Utah.
Being a holiday weekend and the elk bow hunt all the spots Bryan hoped were open were full of other campers.
Bryan is a professional deer, elk and bear hunting guide and checked to see if there was any chance one of his
friends was there hunting. Fortunately they were and they let us camp on their property. We really lucked out.
These two picture are not mine. They were taken a few years ago of the processing plant in State Line.
This is what we wanted to go see.
The town was basically deserted in 1939 but the processing plant was actually worked until the early 80's,
until the EPA shut it down for improper environmental procedures.
The plant was destroyed by fire that started July 13th near Panaca, Nevada. We knew this but wanted to see it anyway.
That's me standing on the platform in the previous picture.
Again not my picture but someone else's from a few years ago.
There are hundreds of feral horses out there destroying the vegetation.
The BLM is doing a horrible job thinning them out.

It was another awesome camping trip.

I went for another short ride the other day with a good friend.
The Forest Service's Trail Crew spent the better part of last week removing the "hazards" from one of the "extreme" ATV trails and I was asked to go check it out and report back what I thought about the trail.
Its called Rock Canyon for some reason.
Its the only trail that I am aware of here that was ever rated extreme.
I do beleive that they have removed the "extreme" from the trail.
The Forest Service purchased an electric jack hammer and take a generator out with them in a trailer so they can bust up the big rocks that can't be moved.
Still a fun trail.
Fall is here already.
First time on this trail for me.
It was another nice day riding.
Back in the gym after 6 months. All by my lonesome, down in poundage.
Leah is graduating early and the high school asked her to get these from her locker in the Art Department.
We were stunned as we had never seen them. All freehand. Kid's got skills.
I hope you enjoy:

I got out for another short ride yesterday.
This is a "50" gate". There are a lot of trails here that are restricted to machines that are 50" wide or less.
This is the Max Reid Trail. One of the more popular trails.
Yesterday was the perfect day to ride this trail. The temperature was cool and the rain the day before
eliminated the dust and with the leaves changing it made for a great ride.
Once at the top of Max Reid we headed for trail 1095.
It doesn't show up really well but the first section of this trail is
really off camber. Regardless of how many times I go here it still
makes my butt pucker crossing this section.
This is the end of this trail. Its just over two miles long but its well worht the ride.
Pictures never show just how steep trails are. This is a very steep section.
This trail is never maintained by the Forest Service so every
time you go up it there's a good chance there are trees that
have fallen and blocking the trail.
Headed back across the off camber section.

We finished the ride with the Bonanza Jones Road. Built in the 1940's for logging at the infamous Kimberly Mining Town.

I'm afraid if I didn't get a place on the top railing I'd find a safer place to perch.
