no outlet...

Yesterday's journey was a gravy ride, forecast had me believing we wouldn't be riding at all.  I took care of what I needed to on the bike Tuesday anticipating watching it rain yesterday.  MT & I headed out around 4:00 with no particular place to go, gravy.  Jamaica South, ran into Craigio coming in, Stagecoach West for a bit & then Martell Rd. which feeds into the Blue Stem Lake northern entrance.  Sign says "no outlet".  That can't apply to us so we go check it out.  Road ends in a cul de sac with two options. Ok...one option, retreat is not an option!  So our only real option is climb a fence & explore the area's service road.
At times there was the faint outline of a double track but we also followed a a couple deer trails through a wooded ravine.  No idea where we would pop out.  Came upon a completely camouflaged turkey hunter, unsure if he was supposed to be doing what he was doing but also unsure if we were supposed to be doing what we were doing.

All of a sudden on I realized where we were...back side of Papa Geno's Herb farm on HWY 33.
Climbed one more fence, MT fixed a flat & we started working our way back to Lincoln with the wind behind us.
No outlet...bull%*@#!

Later,
