Coming out of the canyon we hit pavement. Thinking that we had just rolled over our last bit of dirt track, we headed down hill. We were now going to jump on the "I" for the next 20 miles. The Gathering that we were moving towards was off the "I" south of us, we were pretty sure that there wasn't any back track in.
At full pavement cruising speed I caught a glimpse of a cattleguard and a dirt track as we passed . . . HA!
Took another couple miles before we could find somewhere to turn the Mechs around.

As we approached, this time much slower, it seems I was right . . . a powerline road! About 30 miles from the gathering site and we were about to jump on a service road, that in the rankings of service roads, rated as about as extreme as it gets . . . we might not get there today.
