Leg 3 - Crooks Gap Road (CR 22)

Above Left: We're Off.

Above Right: CR 22 (barely readable sign) also known as Crooks Gap Road. The road is pretty good except for a few 'Walk It in the Sand Spots'.

Above Left: Accidental Picture.

Above Right: Good road.

Above Left: Nice Road.

Above Right: It took us a while to figure, this is a Shortcut Road to CR 3217 but not the road itself (nor for the GDMBR).

Above Left: Old Snow Cat on Tracks, we are not sure if this is operational? The wind in the winter makes this a very dangerous place for snow drifts.

Above Right: A snow fence, yet another hint about winter conditions here..

Above Left: It looks like a rider but it is a sign post (CR 22).

Above Right: Atlantic City is way back at the foot of that mountain.

Above Right: Cattle.

Above: Cattle on the GDMBR - We usually stop for a moment and then slowly move forward and the cows will usually move away, bulls are a little bit more stubborn, even young ones. Sometimes we have to wait a few minutes for bulls; it does not bother us, it is sort of normal animal behavior.

Above: Young Bulls.

Above Left: The dark object near the end of the road is a former military auxiliary power unit (electrical generator), it is just sitting there and the purpose is unknown. Further back to the right hand side is the Wyoming A&M Reservoir, we did not stop there but plenty of bikers did.

Above Right: Cattle to the east.

Above: Tour Divide Riders, both on Fixed Gear Bikes. Notice that each rider has a helmet.
