Took the new buggy up rusty nail today, or tried to.  Some jerk forgot to gas up the buggy and then didn't know where the trail went after the "no left turn" rock.  So we hiked for a while and picked up the trail here and there, but really didn't figure out where it goes after it goes around the little canyon and over the hill.  So we turned around and came back. I was a little worried about going backwards over what we had just come up, but it wasn't bad at all.  We even made it back to the trailer under our own power, running on fumes.

up and over


Then on to the next obsticle just around the bend.  I took the right line, it worked out great, but next time I'll try the left hand side.

Then, about 200 yards later is "no left turn". Turns out that this looks alot worse that it really is.




This is where we stopped and went for a little hike to try and follow the trail, but lost it at the top of the hill. There was a quad up there, looked like it had broke and someone had stashed it to come back for it later.

Then back up "no right turn" and hurried out to the trailer on fumes.



That is all.
If anyone could tell me where the trail goes from there, that would be great.  And next time I'll gas up first.
