4 Days in Temple Mountain
I just returned from a few days camping in the Temple Mountain area. The place was mostly vacant of humans; sadly, many signs indicating a lost dog in the area, but we never saw it, sadly.
We rode many of the trails and loops around Temple Mountain, but on Saturday we did "Behind the Reef" (yet again); it hasn't gotten any better with age. Some sections far more rock strewn and some far more off camber. All of us made it without incident (until the tail end of Reds Canyon when a Kawi blew a CVT belt).

While temps were only in the mid-60's (odd for mid-November), it felt like 90's, but once the sun dropped between 4-5pm, it got cold in a hurry. On Saturday, due to the CVT belt issue, we made it back just as the sun was going down and it got COLD!
