On Saturday we started a little earlier and headed out west with 23 bikes. We went through Hunt, of course stopping at the
General Store for some jerky, then on out to 187. At 187, we rode south down to Utopia and then over to Leakey, where we stopped for gas. We then headed up north on 335 on top of the mountain ridges to 41.
From 41, we headed down south on 336, through a Road Closed sign. We knew it would be OK because Emerson had scouted the route the day before. Emerson was right…..not too bad, just some loose gravel
where the road was washed out…..hell after the 1.5 mile dirt road on Thursday, this was a piece of cake! We rolled into Camp Wood and came upon a sign that said 337 was closed due to high water with
the crossing being washed out. Emerson told us about this section too, so we proceeded onward through the cow patties. Well…this wash out was a little deep, but all made it through except
Patrick. He decided he wanted to go boating and catch some fish!!!! After the excitement of the bike swimming, we headed on out to 16, where we caught it north into Kerrville through the steep grade
switchbacks that are SOOOO FUN at dusk!!! What a trooper that Cindy Rodriguez is! For food, we hitched a ride in a van driven by the owner of Inn of the Hills, who took us down to the Cowboy Steak
House for some true Texas Beef!! Some of us then went shopping at WalMart to buy Patrick a few accessories for his bike – the reward for fishing. We all returned to the Bar again for dancing and even
a few lessons for Lance, by our very own professional dance instructor, Buffy. No, he does not listen well!!!! (As a note I do not normally take groups through such crossing, this was unusual as
we had heavy rain the weeks before, normally these roads are very dry and some of the best riding in Texas!!)
