Old Coal City Road

Jump-off Rock

   From 19th street, Cogswell, Bowman Cir, highway 174, turnoff at Lynch Lake Road.  Couldn’t find Jump-off  Rock, will try bike hike next time.

The Schwinn is clocked at 45 MPH!!!

I started out on Easonville to Cook Springs Cut Off, then up to Mountain Top Loop and down the the bobsled run to Tunnel Mountain Road.  A big pickup truck pulled up and asked if I knew he had clocked me at 45 MPH.  We laughed and I took high way 78west.  Surprisingly at Prescott I turned off the back way to Camp Winnataska.  Fun.

Note: that’s 72 KPH

Camp Winnataska, Part Deux

Took a shortcut via Easonville and Fricker Farm Road to Wolf Creek  Road .  Up Camp Winnataska Road and a bit higher.  Lovely area.

From  Cogswell under I 20 then left onto Bowman Circle.  At  Chula Vista Mountain Road continue over I 20.  I was late so turned around.  Will explore later.  Cloudburst just as I returned home.
