ATV ride 10/20

Wed 10/20
My co-worker & geocaching buddy,Faith, asked me out to do some ATV ing. They, husband Paul, own a Red Polaris Ranger. She wanted to find a driving trail route from Meteor Crater RV park to Diablo canyon about 6 mile without going on the Meteor crater road. She plotted a course using Google Earth but later we determine it wasn't working out. We finally found a way to the canyon after circling around and discovering a old ruins. The trail/road took us down into & out of the canyon-cool. Another 5 mi to Buffalo Ranch road via rocky terrian and even thru a old farm house. Turns out there a was a new goecache near by which we got and discovered we were the first to find it. Two more miles to the Raymond Headquarters and trail head. There we spoke to a Fish & Game ranger who lives on the property. Since it was 430p and the sky was getting darker (rain clouds), time to head back to the RV park. Total of 21 mi round trip. What a fun adventure.
