Deep in the middle of nowhere

Mrs Kadizzle is deep in the Grand Canyon.  Mr. Kadizzle spent the day high on Cedar Mesa.  A friend whose wife is down the canyon with the Mrs. stopped by to pick up Kadizzle and his cycle this morning.  After unloading the cycles at the base of the mesa up the road we went.  So many times it seems like the entire Earth is covered with people, but as you head to the wilderness that view begins to fade.  Clueless as to where we were we rode down some of the most nasty roads ever.  Strewn with boulders and begging you to crash the roads went deeper and deeper to the middle of nowhere.  Finally Kadizzle took the bait and had a minor crash.  As the cycle hit a rock the clutch lever broke in half.  The rest of the ride was completed with half a clutch lever.

Time came for a decision.  Do we keep going and hope we come back to a main road or do we turn around. The day was getting short so we turned around.  If you are bored go on Google Earth and look at the country North and East of Camp Verde AZ.  You might just search for Cedar Mesa.   Looking down from space you can see what a vast wilderness area Cedar Mesa is.   In all the years of exploration Kadizzle has almost never found a plot of ground where cattle were not being grazed.  On Cedar Mesa the cattle share the land with Elk.
