Steamshovel Trail

Some snaps from the perilous Steamshovel Trail in the Stillwater Mountains
Once you get into the canyon, the trail is marked by this sign, and some smaller BLM-type OHV signs, making it easy to follow
This section of the trail was particularly rocky
If you look hard enough, you can find an outhouse still standing
Some fire damage
Up and down, up and down
Not exactly the kind of road Mom would feel safe driving on in her Omni.
Lots of geology all around
It's steeper than it looks, and a bit washed out, but no trouble for an ATV
Engine ID plate reveals this baby is capable of putting out a whopping 66 sea-level ponies!
It's waaaay down there.
Thar she blows
This is the little engine that starts the big engine
The "steam" shovel is actually a 1950's-era Speeder diesel crane shovel
Yer gonna have to read the manual before you start yanking levers on this baby
