I decided to wrap-up the weekend by finishing my exploration of the Tintic mountains just North of Eureka. The weather maintained a steady 82F, the sun was shining and things couldn't be better.
About 3/4 of the way into the trip, I smelled burning oil and my BELT light came on. Seems all the rocks had loosened the oil filter and possibly jarred the belt on my Kawasaki. I fixed and continued rolling on.
I started the trip on the South/West staging area of 5 Mile Pass OHV and took the dirt road to 12 Mile pass before cutting East toward the Tintic Mountains.
From there, I explored virtually every canyon before making it to the high point (as indicated by a USGS Survey marker at the top).
