Mom, what a great birthday you had. Miss you all a bunch!!
( Writing this from Carrizozo, New Mexico on Nov. 10. Our new camp is a BLM campground, Valley of Fires in the Malpais Lava Beds on US 380. )
October 8....As we near the main road, after exploring the Caineville Wash Road, we stopped at the restroom and then read the information board near by. It tells us there is a designated open play area for Off Road Vehicles managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Since David and the boys used to love this sport, we decided to check it out. We drove on, north of the sign and found a huge staging area and then tons of tracks from dirt bikes that looked like they were going over the cliff. We parked and walked to the end of the tracks. They really were going over the cliff, between 500-700 feet almost straight down, along a ledge a mile long. Below was miles of hills to ride. I tried to get pictures that show how amazing this area is and how cool that the BLM keeps a special place for those that love this sport.
Where the light colored earth is, is the end o the cliff.
This is one of the spots that I stood on to take pictures of the bottom.
From far back the cliff looks straight in the camera view, but as you can see, when you get to the edge of the cliff, it is very uneven.
I can't imagine driving over this, it was scary to stand there!!! I didn't even walk all the way to the end of this one.!!
I sure hope you guys will get to see this in person someday.
Driving home to Sleepy Hollow.
The end of a perfect day. But not the end of our Reef adventures.
