Rampart Range Road - a little dirt ;)

[lytehouse]

Yesterday was an exceptionally beautiful day for October...I think we set a record high. So having the day off, John & I decided to pull out the dirt bikes and check out Rampart Range Rd. since they just re-opened it.
When we bought the dirt bikes, our plan was tho go up to RRR because the entrance to it is so close, just through Garden of the Gods Park, but the Waldo Canyon Fire (the one that had us bugged out for a week) changed that and the Forest Service had the road closed for the last 2 yrs.

Garden of the Gods (see the Kissing Camels?)

We live on the other side of this quarry
