A ride in the Goldfied Mountains

Yesterday The Commander took off for a hike in the Superstition Mountains with our Canadian friends.  Old Lord Kadizzle unlocked the gate to the special road reserved for off road vehicles and drove into the Goldfield mountains.  The Tonto National Forest has a nice set up.  You can get a free pass that allows you to use the roads.  Since the access is controlled it keeps the gun dingers down that like to go into the wilderness and shoot old televisions and propane tanks. The area is very pristine.   Try as he might to be very careful and courteous around the horses using the road Kadizzle had a fau pau.  One section of the road crosses a dry stream bed full of gravel.  To cross takes a downshift and some power on the cycle.  Normally you can see the horses ahead on the road and shut off the engine, or move by very quietly,  but as luck would have it horse back riders were coming down the was just as Kadizzled gunned the engine to cross.   It spooked the horses and Kadizzle felt bad about it.
