Apple Valley to Pearblossom Ride Report
After being delayed a few hours, I wasn't sure I was going to be able to finish this one. The plan was to head out the north side of AV and loop out to Pearblossom with a return via the foothills/mountains.
First fuel stop. Time to top it off before we get started. ![]() Just outside the CEMEX access road. Headed north from here towards Stoddard Wells Rd., past the cart track. ![]() The powerline road just north of Dale Evans. ![]() I know there's an access road to those towers on the other side of the hill. Another time though. Need to get moving. ![]() I missed my turn towards Oro Grande and decided to get a shot of the river and my loyal steed. ![]() ![]() On the powerline road headed towards Pearblossom. ![]() Wow first water crossing. Actually water(sortof) in Sheep Creek. ![]() ![]() Oops, wrong side of the tracks....Better get rolling before I'm ganked. ![]() Gas stop in Pearblossom. Halfway there! No issues yet! ![]() North of Pearblossom, following Sheep Creek. What a beautiful area! And the first incident.....Not really.....The kickstand sinks in and down she goes for a nap....She's tired.(sorry no photo of a sleeping chinabike) ![]() ![]() Valyermo, now I've been there and done that. ![]() A few twisties to sooth the soul.(Fun on knobbies) ![]() And back in the dirt headed north and through the foothills. ![]() ![]() And the obligatory wildlife photo. ![]() Another of 3 more water crossings. ![]() ![]() Continued:
