Solo Ride to Mt Potosi

Mt Potisi

July in Nevada is usually never considered riding weather. However there is a slight dip in temperatures from time to time. I took advantage of the break in the weather and went for a quick Sunday cruise to the top of Mt Potisi.

 

Eldorado Valley Solar Farm

 

Heading through Eldorado Valley. This used to be a dirt powerline road until more solar plants started popping up.

Then I found the road to the top of Potosi. Going up the views got better and better.

Do more with less! That is my motto lately. I love getting outdoors and exploring new places, usually on my KTM motorcycle. My wife, Anna, and I recently bought and built out a Sprinter van to do more of the things we love. Traveling and seeing new places is always at the top of our to-do list.
