untrafficked

Since we had to go back north on Sunday, we didn't go nuts with the outdoors activities but we did have the opportunity for a 16.5 mile MTB at the MOAB Brand Trails.  We left a little later than we had Saturday morning and since this trailhead is much closer to town than Dead Horse Point State Park, we still got our tires on the dirt around the same time (8:30 a.m.-ish).

Temperatures were quite reasonable, with the accumulating clouds blocking the direct sun.  The trails are all in good shape, with the sandy bits not too sandy yet.  We did our usual two circuits of Rusty Spur and the Bar M loop and other than passing one tour group, we scarcely saw anyone.  Even when we got back to the truck after our ride, there couldn't have been more than fifteen vehicles in the lot - far fewer than there usually are on a Sunday late morning in May, September or October.  Although the people-watching suffered, we loved the traffic-free trails.
