Stonehenge II

The sign reads:

Stonehenge II
Conceived by Al Shepperd and Doug Hill
Constructed by Doug Hill

The original, located on the Salisbury Plain in England, was built over 3500 years ago. Its purpose is unknown... and, perhaps, unknowable​

Hackberry Road/Three Sisters Dual sport ride

One note of caution to riders thinking of "Trying this at home". Those low water spots on those hardly traveled dirt roads can form a slick algae in the warmer months making those shallow crossings slipperier than snot on a watermelon pit. Surely better to be on a dual sport for sure.
