A Ride to Views of the Medicine Bow Mountain Range

After a nice sunrise and a leisurely start to the day, I rode Yagi, my TW200, down Deadman Road to its junction with FR300 at around 10:30 a.m.

I rode along FR300 for about 15 miles or so just to check things out and to map any campsite candidates I might run across.

The road itself starts off pretty good but then theres stretches of rocky terrain that make you pay attention.

I came up on the junction with FR517 and shortly after that while riding on FR517 I saw this view of the Medicine Bow Mountain Range.




A mile or to further on did not render that much in terms of views so I turned around where FR517 and FR173 junction.

On the way back, I stopped at about 6 likely candidate spots for future camping and recorded them on my Google maps profile. 

This little fellow watched me, while sitting on top a rock that was a part of a fire pit at one of the sites:

Things had clouded over by the time I finished a late lunch, so I just relaxed at the campsite the rest of the day.
