So, I got my new Rancher the other day, and took it for a spin yesterday. I rode about 25 miles from Price, through Kenilworth, to Helper, then back to Price. I checked out a couple of old building foundations near Kenilworth, probably built in the early 1900s when the coal boom was getting started. I lived in Kenilworth for the first ten years of my life and never saw these old buildings before, but I spotted them in Google Earth recently and decided to check them out. I managed to find some mud on the trail, and it felt bad getting a brand new machine so dirty, but it was kinda fun too. :lol8:
