[QUOTE="Tony Eeds, post: 1318666, member: 32023"] Back on the bikes, we headed toward Hen Egg Mountain Road ... the back way! The balance of the ride was a series of intersections and we negotiated them all until we came to one spot where the roll chart and the flagging had balled up a number of folks and everyone was debating the direction to head. Charlie, Terry and Steve had gone with us and we were all lost. At least I didn’t lose them ... like yesterday. Ken came along and got everyone pointed the correct direction and we were off like a herd of turtles. At the intersection of Hen Egg Road, we held up and allowed Charlie, Steve and Terry to catch up. Charlie told us to go ahead as he didn’t want to hold us back, not that he was. In any case, they said that they could get back to town by following the flagging. So ... we headed off ... Matt, Mark, Keith and myself anyway. We waved and slipped eastward following the lengthening shadows towards Hen Egg Mountain. Arriving at the intersection of South County Road and Hen Egg Mountain Road, we turned south. The shadows were longer still and we slipped down the road at a quickening pace, buoyed by the knowledge that cold beer awaited us. Remember what I said about how the morning route doubled back on the morning route and how I saw the sweeps working on a flat? Well, about the time I approached that intersection the third time it dawned on me that the sweeps had swept the trail ... of flagging ... oops ... no flagging meant Charlie, Steve and Terry ... who had never been to Terlingua Ranch before ... were without a clue of how to get back to town. Steve did have his GPS, but it didn’t have topo in it ... Mmmmmm ... what to do?!?!?! Well, I rationalized the there were still folks left out there and they all needed to get back. And of course, there were the sweeps ... assuming they stayed on the correct road to begin with ... a lot of ifs ... but then there [b]was[/b] the cold beer. So, I made the executive decision and knew I would suffer the grief of losing them twice in two days! I soothed myself with a glass of [img]http://teeds.smugmug.com/photos/420138174_HAL7n-M.gif[/img] on the rocks. More in a bit ... [/QUOTE]
