Just ride in the sand of the wash for about a quarter of mile, maybe even less. It will get really steep on both sides but then the right hand side gets flatter. There is a big Palo Verde tree on the left. Of course there are many palo verde trees, but you might recognize the patch of green in my photo on the right and the tree is directly across the wash on the left. The gals said there is a family of owls that are almost always present in the tree. This day there was only one, but they say there are more. It is a nice ride, and a great work out for the horses. Sometimes it gets a little bit narrow, but never so bad that you can't just lean to one side and avoid the shrubs. There are some spots that are a little bit rocky, but nothing too serious. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15617546413512282387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1551110757601242898.post-13495744309507759802015-01-31T15:27:07.508-08:002015-01-31T15:27:07.508-08:00Well, in some parts of the desert you can, in fact...Well, in some parts of the desert you can, in fact a friend of mine lives in such a rural area he was able to "widen" his road, and pull all the excess dirt into his yard to make a nice drive way that didn't turn to a mud pit. But where I live, not gonna happen. I wish though.....oh how I wish. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15617546413512282387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1551110757601242898.post-9892239435412586822015-01-31T11:45:57.535-08:002015-01-31T11:45:57.535-08:00Hmmm, now I want to know where "The Owl Tree&...Hmmm, now I want to know where "The Owl Tree" is. The desert definitely is getting greener by the minute. It sounds like an exaggeration, but it's true. You can almost see the grass growing.Nuzzling Muzzleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07649710635013663900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1551110757601242898.post-8885610015666334362015-01-31T11:32:30.735-08:002015-01-31T11:32:30.735-08:00What Lisa said.
