Took the fat bike out to do some exploring this morning. Jumped on the FINS power line at 185th Ave and headed west. Crossed Rainbow Valley road followed some jeep trails up into the hills. After some pushing up and sliding down gnarly rocky terrain, I continued west around the hills on the flatter desert. Ran in to a woman at the bottom of the hill, she didn't speak english, I don't speak spanish, so we faked a conversation for a bit with a lot of head nodding and both went on our way. Followed more desert and farm roads between Rainbow Valley and Tuthill. I was on Maricopa trail for a bit and barely missed a coiled up rattlesnake. I stopped for some pictures and the snake never moved an inch, which is just fine by me. Eventually got to the gas pipeline road that goes through some new community development construction on the way back to FINS.
