IntrepidXpedition 2007: Day 12
Well, today I started out by finding out that the water pump that I installed last Friday has gone bad already…….was leaking from the weep hole pretty badly. So I got a later start today becuase I had to take care of that.
Started out on Spring Canyon Bottom….nice overhang on the shelf road here
Then I headed down Hey Joe Canyon……but it was taking me too long and I needed to get to Green River, so I did not finish it this time.
A little overgrown
Where are those limb risers when you need them 😉
After heading back out, I went to check out the Dellenbaugh Tunnel……unfortunately, I could not find it (The tunnel that is, I went to the end of the trail)….and I was in a hurry……so I’ll have to look again next time.
Tombstone Rock
On my way back from the tunnel, I managed to find a nice rock that wanted to dent my wheel pretty badly….
Nothing like changing a tire in the middle of the desert with no shade 😉
I did manage to pound out the dent and fill the tire with air…and it seems to be holding. It should work OK as a spare for now, until I can replace the wheel when I get home
After that setback, I headed up Rainbow Terrace
Finally, I was originally planning on taking the Crystal Geyser trail into Green River, but because of my delays and because I was worried about my fuel level, I decided to head out on Ruby Ranch Road and hit up I-70 to take to Green River…..which looked a lot like this
