Thank you, gentlemen. After descending into the Arbon Valley, I rode the pavement northward, back toward home. After traveling a short distance, I once again ascended eastward, back into the mountains. I took a favorite trail leading to a peak overlooking the Arbon Valley to the north. The upper elevations were still covered with a lot of snow.



However, many of the fields in the valley were growing green with the spring rain, and the warmer temperatures.



I descended eastward into the Malad Valley, and traveled a short distance north. I then ascended westward, back into the mountains. I was once again rewarded with a beautiful view of the Arbon Valley, and the mountains far to the west.



The Arbon Valley also extends a great distance to the south. Once again, I descended to the west, using the trail visible over my mirrors in the photograph below.



I rode northward on the pavement, and took another familiar trail across the mountains to the east; it was my fourth trail of the day. I then traveled the gravel roads and pavement northward. Once again I visited the Field of Heroes, which was illuminated with spotlights. After riding for 200 miles, and 9 hours, I returned home, a very happy man.
