Moss & Mushrooms
After three days of heavy wind and rain that had us thinking back to December, the weather finally improved today, so out with the KLR650 I went. I rode one of my favorite KLR routes, Monument Rd to Bear River, and then down into the valley until it dead ends. Lots of newly born cattle and a few tiny lambs. I was doing a lot of sightseeing this trip, going much slower than my usual pace. The slow approach seemed to disturb them more than when I would just blow by them. At one point I unintentionally herded about 50 cows down the road. There was one very pregnant cow that I met both coming and going who both times just stood in the middle of the road and stared at me. Only when I slowly crept within about 10 feet of her did she finally back down and move off the road. There was lots of scenery to see with all the cows, sheep, hawks and other birds, plus everything is so green right now. Except for the mushrooms that is.
