Ladies Ride requires the men of the Saddle Mountain Riders to stay home while the women go out to play. Fourteen buggies and 30 women enjoyed the beautiful sunny Arizona day by romping 27 miles through the desert around the foot of Saddle Mountain.
Our friend Barbara (buffed up against the chilly breeze) drove like a pro
while I sat back, took photos and enjoyed the ride.
For three hours we wound around following dirt tracks.
We made several stops, including one to view this unique tire house
and one for lunch.
The rest of the day we went up
and down,
and up
and down,
and through puddles left from the recent heavy rain (which had the added quality of keeping dust to a minimum).
Other interesting stuff we saw: the east side of Saddle Mountain,
green grass (always a treat in the desert)
as are blooming wildflowers,
and weird saguaro.
I thoroughly enjoyed my first buggy ride and look forward to being invited again before we leave Tonopah.
Tomorrow—Barbara’s birthday dinner.
