On Saturday I went riding in the Woodside Anticline/Summerville Wash area with my family. We had to cut our trip short because my rear driveshaft was making a lot of noise and I was afraid it was going to break. We were still able to ride for several hours and had a great time. There's a lot of nice scenery in the area (if you're into this type of desert terrain), and a lot of old ruins. Due to the ATV problems, we weren't able to make it to the mining district to see the abandoned mine shafts and adits that are abundant in one area. I'll be back (once again) as soon as my ATV is fixed--that is, if it's not too hot by then! :cool2:
