I took a couple pictures of Indian Valley Rd. on the way back down to show everyone what they are missing out on. I would rate this road as a road for only experienced riders. Why? Well you need to be very familiar with your motorcycle in all situation. There are a LOT of squirrels that can wreck your day. It's not that they will make you crash if you hit them but they are a HUGE distraction. They like to play chicken with you as it's the most exciting thing in their lives. The worst part about it is that you are focused on them and not the road. You have to do your best not to look at them!

Then there are turkey vultures that are snacking on road kill. Sometimes they just DON'T get out of your way! These are big ones too. They just kinds scoot to the side and might pop up off the ground just as you come upon them. I had to duck at least one today that couldn't make up his mind when I closed in on him.
