What did you do today?

[Charlie Horse]

Took a short little drive in the Super Se7en on route 803, which shortcuts through the San Rafael and meets up with I-70.  I wanted to see what kind of terrain there is out there, and google maps has never, believe it or not, sent a street-view car on that road!.  I'm looking towards places to take the goats that are close, human-free, and epic.  Its my first time entering this side of the San Rafael.  Check it out:

   
This is actually what I see when I drive this car.   You'll have to imagine pounding wind blowing your hair around.  I have no hair so I get to imagine that too.

   
So the road goes much higher here!  It even got a lot cooler up this high.  I didn't realize the middle of the swell was so swollen.  Now I know!

   
Ahah.  Wow.  Smooth sandstone domes are all over this area.  Its where the 803 meets the 70.  These can be a bit dangerous as its always easier to climb this stuff than come back down.  Might be different for goats, but for people, I suggest you don't go up and find out what its like to roll down.  Pro tip!

   
There's a zone I've really wanted to explore that has stark white and purple layering.  This is a sample.  Most of my in-car pictures are out of focus since the camera tends to focus on the windshield.  I guess its an artistic picture though, with all the mirrors.

Man.  I can't believe I get to live in this area.  So long as I can avoid the sand worms.  Planning a goat hike tomorrow, but it'll just be another boring one behind the house up into the hills.  I still don't have a vehicle that can carry more than 2 goats.
