We continued over Powder River Pass, and I saw a sign about a lookout
We didn't go to the lookout because there wasn't any more signs and we ended up at the top of Meadowlark Ski Resort.
Then we turned off the pavement to explore Hyattville rd.
Somewhere after this my navigation skills and map reading were questioned.......By me and my friend.
I had missed a turn, the Garmin maps were not matching reality, I had been unable to find a NFS map, and the Benchmark atlas is too big of a scale. I wish it was reasonable to download topo's for all the areas I don't plan on going. (and then hope they are correct)
Where we had been driving on good gravel all weather roads it turned into ungraded 2 track.
Somewhere near the Renner WHMA we saw some Blue Grouse, The dogs had a great time and showed their hunting instincts.
(No animals were harmed on this trip)
Still in the WHMA
That part of the road got interesting, but I didn't stop for pictures, I was too busy driving and looking at the scenery
We then took the Red Gulch/Alkali Rd Scenic Back Country Byway and stopped for the night at the Red gulch Dinosaur Tracks
Since I am not really up on this stuff, I felt you had to use a lot of imagination to see them. Interestingly they were discovered by accident in 1997.
