Cloudy, strong wind and cool - +55F.  Eight of us went for a quad ride anyway.  We didn't see the sun but that made for a beautiful picture taking day.   Three Vermont friends and one dog began the trip in a small 4 wheel drive, going  as far as they could then we doubled on the quads.  Glen was Kit Carson, Indian guide and scout.  Took us in to three old mine sites with stone cabins.  Only possibly lost a few times!  

We ended up at the Apache Chief Bed & Breakfast and met a couple of very unique characters.  Bet you wished you had been there.

It was a 30 mile ride, down washes and over mountains.  Saw many different cacti, some beginning to bloom.  The rock colors were incredible. Greens, purples, oranges, and then the usual browns and tans.  The mountains surround us and are each so different.  It will take more than this season to travel all the trails here.
