In case you didn't notice, they look a little different than most rocks in the area.

Great vid Joe.
Cooper, in the last half of that vid where Joe picks up the pink ribbon - all that rock up the cliff to his left is actually a green color. Kinda looks like a weird lighting issue with the camera, buts its not. I called that trail Moon Rocks on the club map because a couple of budd'y & myself have been calling it that since the first time we found it in the late 70's. :cheers: :canada:

Rode it Monday (from Fisher S, rode Barwell 2nd Ridge to Lost in Time to Moon Rocks). The few kMs before turning onto Moon Rocks felt a lot more difficult to me than last year due to the washout on the up hills...and downhills for that matter. I think that was Lost in Time. Super awesome but definitely not a noob trail. :blush:
Bikeless....
