Beautiful Boquillas Ranch.


Here's a nice posed shot with my homie, Ole Phil.


Not many lady mountainbikers 'round these parts. They're all on horses. Here's Robin, visiting from Maine. She's smiling 'cause back home the snow is four feet deep.


A scene from the Union Pass hike. Yup, that is snow in the background.


Some verticality found along Ash Creek in the Aquairus Mountains.


Going down on the Badger Trail. A long, fast, dangerous descent. I have to stop every so often to unbend my claws..I mean hands. Intense.


A typical view on the Rim Drive ride. That's Lake Mohave, on the mighty Colorado River, and Nevada beyond. The skinny part of the lake is one mile wide.


Yours Truly, approaching enlightenment on the Camp Beale Loop. Ommmmmmm...


A typical old road 'dozer. I've spotted a half-dozen of these derelicts around the county. This one croaked on the mesa right above downtown Kingman. Note the broken right track.


A big six-stamp ore mill below the Golden Gem shaft, near the townsite of Cerbat, which held the county seat from 1873 to 1877. Only ruins remain.


A favorite canyon of mine, hidden near Secret Pass. I encountered a large Bighorn sheep near here.


Some short-lived snowmelt pools along the Union Pass hike.



Looking east from the Black Mountains across the Sacramento Valley, toward the Duvall Mine in the Cerbat range.
