We ended up having a great ride out there on Saturday. Holy smokes, was it ever dry!!! No problem whatsoever crossing the Cardinal and almost all the mud holes are completely dried up. The falls were good but no where near what I'd expect in spring. As always, it was a beautiful ride but it was definitely sad to see it that dry in spring.

I didn't get a lot of pics, but I'll see if I can find one or two to post up later.

Tons of riding in every direction out there if you camp near Ruby Falls kiosk or Grave Flats. Some steep country in places.
They blocked off the main road near near box canyon for some stupid reason and you xan't even hardly get a dirtbike past there let alone a quad. Not sure if someone made a by pass yet. There is a trail that goes from box canyon and comes out farther down on the main road towards Ruby falls trail.

I'M not sure why they did that. Probaly because people were driving over the divide and then going to where the road washed out. They could have just dug a little trench so the quads/bikes could still get by...

The cardinal river is never really that tough to cross if you read the water a bit.

used to do it on an XR100 twenty years ago.
