The Harry Wade Road intersects Badwater Road at a curve. I ended up in the middle of a large pack of bikes.


I stopped at Ashford Mills Ruins.












She Begs to be Ridden, Hard


I met Laura and Ed in the parking lot for the Ashford Mills Ruins. The were a very nice couple from Eastern Alberta. They were on a long ride. He had a 2010 Yamaha Venture and I think she was on a Kawasaki Vulcan. They were sweltering in the heat, but happy to be out of the snow.
