I went out to price some tires last week. Figured I'd put them on in February before my warm-weather trips.
Unfortunately, a rock at Whitney Pockets yesterday changed the whole story.
Yep, the right front tirewent to glory outside the entrance. A kind gentleman hopped out of his truck and went to work. Wouldn't take a penny after saving me an awful afternoon. But I did go right into Mesquite and get those new tires!
It was fortunate for me that I didn't have that flat twenty miles sooner, in the incredibly remote Little Finland, or it might have been a very long afternoon.
I am determined to get to the top of the buttes where the fantastic stone statuary is, but this is the area. Some local hikers operate around here, so I know there is a climbing access. Stay tuned.:
And these are some of the formations from a closer viewpoint:
One small formation looks like a lion and two others like gargoyles. From the top you could get much better angles:
For the piece de resistance, I went by the Devil's Throat. My neighbor Bill noticed that I hadn't on my first trip actually flown the drone right over the hole, keeping it safely over my position on solid ground. Telling him I forgot to bring a very long rope didn't work.Since such caution reflected on my manhood, I said to heck with it and put the Phantom up for the 'Road Runner View.'
Wheeeeeeeee!
I'll have more adventures out here! There are all kinds of other sites nearby...
