My son, Alex, and I had a fabulous time this past weekend with his Boy Scout Troop exploring the mountain biking trails at Yankee Springs State Recreation Area.
The park has over 13 miles of mountain biking trails. In some areas, the ride was fairly technical. During our afternoon ride, we found ourselves riding along the ridge between deep glacial kettles--the biggest being the "Devil's Soup Bowl," which is approximately 100 feet in depth and very steep.

The weather was as perfect as you could ask for in early November. The leaves were off the trees, and there were only a few other hardy souls camping in the park, which gave it a spooky feeling especially when the coyotes started to howl late at night.
I'll post some pictures in the next blog post.
