Photolog 16: Thunderbird Lake

Posted on August 11, 2015 by ehurst

This time I wasn’t going to accept failure. After using Google Street View as a sort of recon, I decided to take a different approach in case the washouts weren’t all fixed. Today’s ride began like the Brutal Loop, heading … Continue reading →
