I took the mtb out for a cruise. I went into the equestrian trail area to try and find a way across the huge river bottom There were black clouds in the distance and when I got home I heard a woman and her dogs were killed by lightning about 25 miles from where I was.
I went out to the road and went across the dam. Here is a shot from the dam looking toward the hills. I'm going to circle to the left around this area and do a little bit of climbing.
A couple miles in I took a break at this park where I hung out as a ute.
