Barcelona (English /bɑrsɨˈloʊnə/, Catalan: [bərsəˈɫonə], Spanish: [barθeˈlona]) is the capital of Catalonia and the second largest city in Spain, after Madrid, with a population of 1,621,537 within its administrative limits on a land area of 101.4 km2 (39 sq mi). The urban area of Barcelona extends beyond the administrative city limits with a population of between 4,200,000 and 4,500,000 within an area of 803 km2 (310 sq mi), being the sixth-most populous urban area in the European Union after Paris, London, the Ruhr, Madrid and Milan. About five million people live in the Barcelona metropolitan area. It is also Europe's largest metropolis on the Mediterranean Sea. It is the main component of an administrative area of Greater Barcelona, with a population of 3,218,071 in an area of 636 km² (density 5,060 hab/km²). It is located on the Mediterranean coast between the mouths of the rivers Llobregat and Besòs and is bounded to the west by the Serra de Collserola ridge (512 m/1,680 ft).
Founded as a Roman city, Barcelona became the capital of the County of Barcelona. After merging with the Kingdom of Aragon, Barcelona became one of the most important cities of the Crown of Aragon. Besieged several times during its history, Barcelona has a rich cultural heritage and is today an important cultural centre and a major tourist destination. Particularly renowned are the architectural works of Antoni Gaudí and Lluís Domènech i Montaner, which have been designated UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The headquarters of the Union for the Mediterranean is located in Barcelona. The city is known for hosting the 1992 Summer Olympics as well as world-class conferences and expositions, including the 1888 Exposición Universal de Barcelona, the 1929 Barcelona International Exposition (Expo 1929), the 2004 Universal Forum of Cultures, and the 2004 World Urban Forum.

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
By Anthony RhoadsSince I have been at the News-Daily/Daily Herald, one of the most memorable basketball games I have covered was the 2001 Region 4-AAAAA championship game. It featured some of the best basketball players and all-around athletes to ever come out of Clayton County including North Clayton's Anthony Rice and D.J. Shockley and Riverdale's Josh Powell and Chris McFarland. The game certainly lived up to its billing as it was a battle from the beginning. The game went into overtime and Riverdale's George Annan became the hero. Annan, a senior who had gotten very little playing time throughout the season, came off the bench that night to provide the biggest shot for Riverdale that year. At the buzzer in overtime, Annan made a 3-pointer to give the Raiders a 76-74 victory and a region championship. With all the superstars on the floor that night, it was really neat to see Annan come through for his team and it goes to show you that anything can happen in the playoffs. It's a clich? but in the region and state playoffs, anybody can win on any given night. Back in 2001, the Lovejoy boys headed into the region tournament favorites in their opening round game against an Eagle's Landing team that had won only six games in the regular season. Eagle's Landing shocked the Wildcats and advanced to round 2 before being knocked out by Mt. Zion. In 2002, the Riverdale girls were ranked No. 1 in the state and played Jonesboro, a team that barely were .500 going into its region tournament matchup against the Lady Raiders. But a lay-up by senior Hannah Mathes with a few seconds left, gave Jonesboro the victory in what was one of the biggest upsets statewide that year. The Lady Cardinals advanced to state and made it all the way to the Sweet 16 before finally being eliminated. This year, the Morrow Mustangs shocked a lot of folks by beating Stockbridge. The Tigers were 24-1 going into the region tournament game while Morrow was seeded No. 8 and had to win a play-in game to face Stockbridge. But the Mustangs came through to beat Stockbridge. Morrow eventually advanced to the Region 2-AAAAA title game where they beat Henry County. After the Henry County game, Morrow head coach Jay Livingston, gave us one of the best quotes of the year. "We survived the knockout punch and we are still standing," said Livingston. "We have never worried about other teams and what others are saying. We knew we were capable of doing this." Heading into this weekend, the Morrow boys join several other Clayton County teams in state tournaments. In addition to the Morrow boys, other teams who will be playing at state this weekend are the Jonesboro boys and girls, the Mt. Zion girls, the Lovejoy boys and Riverdale boys and girls. In Henry County, two teams will be playing at state including Henry County and Union Grove. Out of all those teams, probably the Riverdale girls have the best chance of going the deepest into the playoffs and they could make their second straight Final 4 appearance but who knows what will happen? That is why they play the games. Anthony Rhoads is a sports writer for The Daily and his column appears on Wednesdays. He can be reached at email@example.com or email@example.com.

help me figure this one out!
05 950 adv. went on brutal ride, bike went down on rt. side with the tires higher than the handle bars. I couldn't lift the pig so I had to wait 10 minutes or so for the next rider to come along and help up right the 950. In the mean time I did shut of the fuel, however when I tried to start it, it was obvious the bike was flooded so I held the throttle open to clear things out and when it started it back fired thru the carb. Instantly I could tell it was running on one cylinder, at about 2500 rpm it would run on both cylinders and would pop on decal a lot but only at partial throttle openings, at complete throttle closing there was no popping.
Now I have the bike home with the air cleaner off and at idle there is NO vacuum from the front carb-at all. I can put my hand over the carb opening with no change/ill effect. If I open the throttle it will start to fire on the front cylinder but does back fire thru the carb.
OK, looks like I jumped a tooth some where. I will get it apart today and do a leak-down test and assuming I did not bend a valve, where do I start looking for the problem?
Do you have the emissions still in place ? You may have loaded the charcoal canister with fuel.
no, all ectomy's performed. I know the chain can jump but how bout the cams? How can I tell which one? am I over looking something simple?
The 950's are getting to the age where the carb diaphragms are starting to fail. I've seen more than one at this point so that's an easy check and fix.
Sounds like when the bike back fired, it blew the front carb off from its mount.
Check for any vacuum leak, such as a boot issue as mentioned. If you find nothing, pull the carbs and clean them well. You might have dislodged some trash in a bowl and stopped up your pilot/idle circuit.
thanks, I will do tonite and report back!
no vacuum leak. My leak down tester does not have a fitting small enough so this will have to wait till I can get the proper part. sure seems the cam chain jumped. Has anyone had this happened and what did your bike run like when it did? I have read here some where that you never start the bike with the throttle open cause the hydraulic tensioner is not up to psi yet. what say u-guys?
+1 on the carb boot leak.. Are you sure it didn't blew off the carb (or tore the boot)?
IMO pull & reinstall the carbs (check for cracks on the boot during this, also you should check the front carb at least - as some serious backfire could cause the slide/diaphragm to melt, and as written before it's easy to clog the idle circuit as well), and if it's still producing the problem only then check the timing.
Also you should check the vacuum ports on the manifold if they are still in place / not leaking.
If the timing chain jumped (which IMO is quite rare to happen), then - because of the cams are gear driven - both intake and exhaust cams will be off, and you will probably need a degree wheel to readjust it properly.. Should this be the case, play attention to get it right (infos about firing order and proper crank degrees are on ktm950.info) - don't configure it for a bigbang setup:)
checked all the points of vacuum, even put the carbs back on with out the air box because it is difficult to see all around the boots. One weird thing is the slide on the back cylinder (the only one running at idle) flutters, a lot! it moves up and down rapidly 1/4 an inch. I know crank case air moves this way but.....?
Check that diaphragm closely. I let a bad one deal me misery once.
Did you check front cylinder plug? I know you said you have low/no vacuum. But pushing an unexploded mixture through the combustion chamber doesn't produce normal vacuum at the carb.
Good luck
just did a leak down test and the front cylinder will not hold any psi. I even loosened the cam towers in case the valves got tight on me and the cam was pushing down on the buckets w/out lobe contact. When blowing air into the cylinder I can feel air coming out of the intake. Burnt or bent valves????
Is it possible to skip the chain on the cam gears if you start the engine with the throttle open(flooded) and the hydraulic tensioner does not have a stiffie yet? I know the "what" now just trying to figure out the "why". And also does anybody have a line on valves or do stick with OEM?

2-up to Canaan Valley, WV on a Versys
After being an armchair ADVer for the past 3 years, I was elated when my wife agreed to celebrate our 20 year wedding anniversary by riding 2-up with me on a long weekend ride. I started riding just four years ago, at 42. My wife (Dawn) started riding 2-up with me last summer on short rides. With two teenage kids, its been hard to find the time to do much riding. But with the kids away at camp for a couple of weeks and our anniversary around the corner, it was the perfect opportunity to share some great riding with the woman I love. Since the local forecast was for typical
Day 1
I was awoken early Friday morning at our home in Vienna, VA by what turned out to be a 3.6 magnitude earthquake. Pretty tame compared with those earthquakes we hear about on the news, but exciting nonetheless. After some last-minute suspension tuning on the Versys, we mounted the bike and began by heading west on Rt 66. As we watched the stop-and-go traffic in the opposite lanes we were happy that at least on this Friday, we werent among those heading to the office for the day. At Gainesville, we diverted off of 66 onto Rt 55, cruising through the quaint towns of Haymarket, The Plains, and Marshall. Stopping at 10:00 in Strasburg for a break, it was already hot, probably in the mid-80s.
West of Strasburg we followed the switchbacks up over Great North Mountain and crossed into West Virginia. Opting for the old Rt 55 between Wardensville and Moorefield, we had the rolling two-laner to ourselves while everyone else flew overhead on the new four lane interstate. For lunch, we stopped in Petersburg at the Hermitage Inn, which was built in 1881. The food is good, especially the key lime pie we split for dessert.
After leaving Petersburg, we took a short cut up Jordan Run Rd which was a nice scenic road we had to ourselves. We stopped for gas along this road and after looking at the pump for a while for the slot to stick my credit card in, I realized that modern pumps hadnt quite made it to this neck of the woods. We eventually hit Rt 42 and then Rt 93 which led us into Davis and our home for the weekend, the Bright Morning Inn.
After unloading some of our stuff to our room we headed to Blackwater Falls State Park, a short ride outside of Davis. At a height of 60, the falls are impressive, and the 200 or so steps we had to take down to the overlook were a great way to stretch our legs after being on the bike all morning.
After hanging out at the falls for a while, we were ready for dinner. Davis is a quaint town, and the dinner choices are pretty limited. This evening we chose Siriannis Café, a great pizza place. They have a decent beer selection including some of the local Mountain State Brewing Company beers, but unfortunately for me, werent serving my favorite beer style: IPA. Instead, I opted for a bottled Saranac Pale Ale. Dawn had the MSBC Cold Trail Ale, a Blonde style beer which she liked. While at dinner, we got slammed by a thunderstorm, which fortunately ended before we left the restaurant.
After dinner, we walked around Davis to work off a few of the beer and pizza calories. A little about Davis: With a population of about 500, its a small place. The main drag, Route 32, is only about 5 blocks long. Its the highest incorporated town in WV at an elevation of 3200. The town was a first inhabited in the late 1800s. It prospered as a logging town for nearly 40 years. At its peak in the early 1900s, Davis had a population of about 3,000 and more than 80 businesses, including three hotels, two banks, five restaurants, and two sawmills. There were seven churches and seven saloons. Today, Davis is probably best known as an adventure sports mecca. The area is a hotbed for hiking, mountain biking, skiing (both alpine and nordic), and whitewater.
After our short walk around town, we decided to check out the other restaurant that was open, Hellbenders Burritos where we figured wed be eating dinner the next night. It turns out Hellbenders has a small bar, where they were serving MSBC Seneca IPA. Jackpot! After a couple of rounds we retired for the night.
Next up: Day 2.

Very cool RR. I'm curious to know how the Versys performed two up with all the luggage. I just got a new leftover 2009, and I'm saving for the GIVI bags. My wife likes to ride, but she's 8 months along with our third child, so it will be a few months before she's able to go for a ride.

Day 2
Our plan for the 2nd day was to tour the area to the north of Davis and then head back to our home base at the B&B. After an awesome breakfast at our B&B (the Bright Morning Inn) we hit the road. (The Bright Morning Inn serves breakfast to the general public, not just to its guests. We highly recommend it.) We rode north through Thomas and then west on Rt 219 toward Parsons. When we reached the crest of Backbone Mountain we stopped to check out some of the 44 windmills that are strung along the ridge top. I have seen windmills from a distance before, but this was the first time Ive been so close to them. I found them equal parts awe-inspiring and disconcerting. Once back on the Versys, the roads were pretty much empty as we cruised into Parsons and then headed north on Rt. 72 following the Cheat River. We cruised as far north as Brandonville before turning back south, taking back roads into Oakland MD, our lunch destination.
In Oakland, we chose Dotties Grill for lunch. The grill is inside Englanders, a former drug store opened in 1946 which has subsequently been converted into an antique store. The food was good and the atmosphere was what youd expect in a small-town diner. Definitely worth a stop if youre in those parts. After lunch we walked over to the (free) Garrett County Museum. Its got some great exhibits detailing the areas past.
After visiting Oakland, we headed north towards Deep Creek Lake and then out Sang Run Rd towards Cranesville Swamp, Along the way we, crossed the Youghiogheny River at a popular put-in for kayakers. From there, we followed White Rock and then Cranesville roads, which were rural, empty 2-laners. We soon arrived at the Cranesville Swamp, a Nature Conservancy property. The swamp is an extremely unique geologic feature called a frost pocketa low area that cooler and wetter than the surrounding area. We stopped and hiked the short hiking trails, most of which were in the woods and the rest of which were on a boardwalk above the soggiest part of the swamp. A neat place.
After stretching our legs at the swamp, we were ready to head back to Davis. Along the way, we passed Our Lady of the Pines, which bills itself as the Smallest Church in 48 States. We were greeted by friendly old man that lives in a house adjacent to the church. He gave us a tour of the church. (It was a short tour.) The church has seating for 12. After that small diversion, we headed down Rt 219 toward Thomas and then Rt 32 into Davis. Dinner that night was at Hellbenders. The food was decent, but I dont recommend the hard-shell tacos. The taco shells are pretty poor, but the burritos are huge and probably would have been a better choice. I finished the evening with a black & tan (Guinness, and, you guessed it, IPA). After dinner we relaxed on lawn chairs on the B&Bs lawn and watched the world go by (slowly) on the Davis main drag.
Next up: Day 3, the final day.

Thanks for the nice comments.
We had our seat modified by Spencer's Seat Mods, which definitely made a difference. My wife's biggest complaint was the lack of room for her feet. Between the side cases being right behind her legs and my feet being right in front, she didn't have any room to change the position of her feet. We'll stick with the Versys for now. If and when we start doing longer rides, we'll consider an alternative.

Happy Anniversary!
Good RR and Happy Anniversary to you both! I LOVE Davis! It's a wonderful little town. (I'm an adventure junkie too....that helps )
Siriannis has a wonderful menu. I have NEVER had anything bad there....and the O' Mike Goss is wonderful if you get back.
Hellbenders is also a great place to eat and like you, I agree about the hardshell tacos. My favorite thing there is their namesake. I love the "Chicken Hellbender" It is the best!
Did you get out near Mt. Storm to see those windmills? They are even larger than the ones you mentioned. And, there is 132 of them (I think).
What a great area to ride and spend quality time with your spouse! Glad you all had fun. I think we may be headed there this coming weekend ourselves...can't wait.

Day 3
The plan for Sunday was to take a leisurely route toward home. When we woke up Sunday morning, the temperature was probably no higher than 60*. Putting on our liners to ward off the chill, we hit the road. Little did we know that wed be roasting by the end of the day. After descending from the valley down to Harman the temperature immediately rose. Continuing past Seneca Rocks, we headed northeast toward Smoke Hole Rd, a detour suggested by pnoman.
At the turn-off for Smoke Hole Rd, we stripped off our liners before heading down the road. What a great road! (Thanks pnoman!) The 15 mile road has some great curves and nice scenery. Its remote, with few houses along the way. At Shreves Store, we stopped and chatted for about 20 min with 3 farmers from Brandywine VA on their way up to Dolly Sods on a new KLR, a DR650, and a Honda. From here, the road follows the South Branch of the Potomac River to where the road ends on Rt 220 at Upper Tract.
(This one is for pnoman.)
Before jumping on 220 to head south toward Franklin, we stopped at a turnout to cool down in the river. Afterward, as I was turning the bike around in the soft dirt, it got away from me, and down it went. Fortunately, nothing was damaged and with Dawns help, we had the bike quickly upright. Once back on the road, we passed through Franklin and followed Rt 33 as it heads over the mountain and into VA. As we started the steep, twisty section going up the mountain, a sport bike passed us going in the same direction. As we were coming down the other side of the mountain, what appeared to be the same sport bike was coming toward us, going back up the mountain. I joked with Dawn that at our casual pace up the mountain, the sport bike rider had had time to go into Harrisonburg and have lunch before turning around and heading back our way.
By the time we got to Harrisonburg, the temperature was in the low 90s. Its time like these when you see the appeal of riding in just a t-shirt in shorts, but since we value our skin more highly than temporary comfort, its ATGATT for us. Desperate for a cold drink and some shade, we spotted a grocery store where we could park the Versys in the shade and have some lunch. From Harrisonburg, it was a steamy ride along busy roads back to home. (We didnt take many pictures during this part of the ride because it was too hot to make unnecessary stops.)
In summary, we really enjoyed our weekend. It was great to escape the heat, hustle, and bustle of DC for a while. The parts of West Virginia and Maryland we toured are special places that are great for outdoor pursuits, not the least of which is motorcycling. After the trip, I was thrilled when Dawn told me she really enjoyed the trip and was looking forward to doing it again. Just more proof that Im a lucky guy to have been married to her for the past 20 years.

Great pictures and congrats on the anniversary.
Always glad to see another Versys out touring.
What fork lights are those on the pictures and how do you like them? I have been thinking about a pair for both of my bike and can't decide.

what kind of jacket is that?
BTW, you may consider getting something bigger or even a wing to tour on, but my experience has been my wife really likes riding her own bike! and you can carry more stuff!
Nice report, maybe we can hook up sometime and ride. I'm up in Columbia, MD area and want to do more backroads trips out in that area also. Might I suggest Skyline drive and BRP down to natural bridge? lexington is a great town and then after you can also take a ton of cool backroads back up this way.

When I got off the bike at mile 620 @ 11:00 pm last night we were in 2nd and picking up some time.
I then dove home so I could get to my sons Play off High School football game tonight at 7:00
So with stoping at 4:00 am and getting 4 hours of sleep I made it in time to watch my sons last High School football game.
His team lost ,But he played great !!
As for the Race, we had some down time (an hour +)Thuesday am before the bike got to me.
When the bike came to me ,I took off and had a great ride making up a bunch of time passing 5 other bikes ( DUSTY!! )
I passed the bike off at LA Bay then jumped in the chase truck and headed south.
I jumped back on the Bike at 8:30 pm and road another 120 miles and had a blast !! The silt was so deep it was coming over the front fender like a wave of warter.It was a great time riding with my old Honda teamates from the 80's
From what I just now read on face book the bike did finish after being stuck in the silt beds way down south for some time.
I will get a full up date in a few days need toget some sleep !!!!!!!

You can officially consider this post nothing more than a rant, so if you are not into rants you're more than free not to like it.
However, I will have to agree with my friend Mitch when he talks about the spam phenomenon on blogs like ours, where one-line comments are sent on a regular basis in the hope of receiving our DoFollow link-love with a human-written comment often praising our blogging skills.
When I started this blog, several months ago, it was very easy to distinguish between a legit comment and a fake one.
Fake comments usually didn't make any kind of sense, they were a list of meaningless links, or just words carefully crafted to promote some spammy service.
However the late trend – partially because of anti-spam weapons getting more and more advanced – has been to write real comments, often bypassing any anti-spam engine, with the final aim to promote the URL linked to it (and not in the body, mind you, that would trigger all the alarms).
It's something so subtle you're often led to think it's maybe not right to block it in first place, but then you realize, visiting the URL, there's not much room left for doubt. And in most cases it's some coupon-related directory (coupons are the trend of 2011 it seems, must be 'cause of the ever-growing popularity of Groupon, shrug).
Single-line comments praising my blogging potential, how my blog helped their life, how I should keep on blogging and how cool is my blog to look at. Something that is supposed to make you go "awww how nice" but really just screams of "let's try to fool this dude", really.
I'll suggest the 3 main methods I use to fight spam on WordPress. And yes, this will be another dissertation about plugins, sorry about that!
1. Akismet
Akismet really is your first line of defense.
This awesome WordPress plugin helps you fight automatic spam bots and not-so-subtle human ones in a more than efficient way, making it pretty much essential if you want to be serious about blogging.
What it does is to run each of your comments through a centralized server which runs several tests on it and mark it as "spam" or "ham" (= good to go).
Each "spam" message is put in your spam queue and will wait for your personal move, before being deleted after (I think) 30 days if you leave it there.
Here are some quick statistics on how Akismet affected my blogging experience:
Not much to add, right?
You can start using Akismet from here, you'll need to register an account there in order to receive an API key, and you will have the chance to choose a plan (according to the commercial or non-commercial nature of your publication).
At that point, just install the WordPress plugin (just search for "Akismet" in the Pludins admin page of your blog, it's the first result), fill in the API key you obtained and you'll be good to go.
2. GrowMap Anti-Spambot Plugin
G.A.S.P. is a really smart and relatively new anti-spam plugin using the simple principle (I won't go into technical details) to put a checkbox in your comment form, asking to confirm you are not a spammer. This checkbox is invisible to bots, therefore they won't have a chance to post anything on your comments thread.
It works in an ingenious way, and allows you to realize that, if you still get spammy comments, the entire spam-industry is probably a lot less automated than you initially thought and consists of real people writing real comments (kinda shocking, uh?).
I use these two plugins together, they can co-exist without problems and they offer a near-perfect anti-spam experience, even if in the end, you will have to use your real, final weapon of mass spam-struction…
3. Your Brain
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, your brain is the final weapon. Thanks to Akismet and G.A.S.P. you will probably get rid of 99% of your blog's spam, but you won't get rid of those nasty one-line comments praising your "madskillz", especially as your blog grows in audience and becomes more popular.
Your brain will be needed to distinguish between something you want to see on your blog and something you'd rather live without, considering its purpose is just to suck link-love out of you. After all, since your blog has such an important role in your social media strategy (or should, anyway), you really want to nurture it in the best way possible, no?
So I am wondering, did you notice a spam increase as well in the latest weeks? Are you using something different to fight it? Do you have a cool method you'd like to share? Let me know, at this point I am very very curious to hear more news.

Originally written on NESN.com | Last updated 4/19/13
CLEVELAND — The Cavaliers intend to speak with former coach Mike Brown about returning to the team. Brown was fired by Cleveland three years ago and replaced by Byron Scott, who was let go by the Cavs on Thursday after he went 64-166 in three seasons — one of the worst stretches in team history. Brown coached the Cavs for five seasons, taking them to the NBA finals in 2007 and winning 61 games in his final year before the team decided not to bring him back and hired Scott. Cavaliers general manager Chris Grant said the team's next coach will be defensive-minded, successful, "a teacher, a grinder." Those words describe Brown, who was fired by the Los Angeles Lakers after five games this season. Brown left Cleveland on good terms, and long before Scott was dismissed, he had decided to move his family back to the area.

The OSHA Refinery National Emphasis Program (RNEP) and OSHA Voluntary Protection Program incorporate specific questions relative to many recognized and generally accepted good engineering practices (RAGAGEP). Many of the same RAGAGEP can be expected to be used in the OSHA Chemicals NEP as well. To comply with OSHA's process safety management (PSM) regulation and improve process safety at their sites, chemical industry personnel should be aware of what RAGAGEP OSHA is recognizing and inspecting against and their key requirements. This article will discuss: (1) OSHA's expectations for compliance with RAGAGEP, including some of the RAGAGEP OSHA references in compliance directives, instructions, and citations, (2) some citations issued by OSHA involving RAGAGEP, and (3) common RAGAGEP compliance issues ABSG Consulting observes when conducting PSM audits and assessments throughout the petrochemical and related industries. © 2011 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Process Saf Prog, 2011

But I have to admit I'm not sure those people were really watching Lawrence Welk when they were attacked . . . they might have been watching Gil Faver on Rawhide instead.

Hi Bryan, it was great meeting you in the park. I did want to confirm that we followed your advice and tracks (in the sand, not gps, ha!). Here is a screenshot of the creek loop tracks CCW. I hope we meetup again someday.

When I put the GPX out for download, I'll complete that small loop (verified by your tracks above) and include it in the file. I think I'll add a notation though about the indistinct part in Cienga Creek.

Great History lesson, even for us Texans. At the intersection of FM170 and Chinati Springs road, we found this old cemetary and this marker. It does say 1488. ALSO, thanks for sharing the NW part of BBRSP. we didn't get to make that area when we were there last spring. GREAT JOB on the report.

Continuing up the Rio Grande on the Chisa Pinto Loop
A little brushy and grown in along the river. Further on it closed in even a little more. Ran up on a herd of javelinas in the closer stuff.
The mighty Rio Grande . . . not such a formidable border obstacle.
Another look at the border/Rio Grande.
Easy place to smuggle.
Looks like mesquite took over the river bottoms.
I guess this is a nuisance to ranchers because it can take over and crowd other stuff out. I saw some ranches further north where they would clear mesquite with an excavator and burn it. I understand it is tough to keep from regenerating. The plant is well suited for the area since some plants have been found to have a tap root that extended up to 190 feet. There are other roots to take advantage of water closer to the surface like in situations like this one.
The plant produces bean pods that can be made into flour. Coyotes eat the pods too. The wood is very hard and has some excellent properties. It is probably best known for the smoke it produces when used to barbeque.
Once you get away from the river, this path is a lot like the river road in BBNP.
One of the ATV guys warned me about this river. He said the crossing had a firm bottom though.
I went downstream a tad and crossed on some rocks instead.
On the other side of the river is/was Presidio de Pilares. It was established in 1775 as a military and penal colony. Convicts and soldiers were required to farm and did a little silver smelting. The presido was abandoned in 1875. As a side note, the spanish tried to set up a bunch of presidos to get control of this region way back when. The concept failed because they were too far apart to give mutual support and the indians just went back and forth between them.
Pilares had been a hot spot for crime during the bandit years. In May 1915, 3 Texas Rangers and 2 mounted customs agents rode out of Valentine on horseback for a routine patrol of the border. When they got to Pilares, some of Villas men told them that bandits had some horses and mules hidden on the American side back in the mountains.
The agents ran into some bandits with a few horses and a running gunfight ensued.
The next morning the group split into two elements. Two guys scaled a peak to watch for the bandits while three of them went into a canyon to recover some horses.
The bandits let the three enter the canyon and once the bandits had them completely surrounded they sprang an ambush. It was a hell of a fight. Eventually the three worked their way back out of the canyon and out of range of the bandits' guns. They tried to get to the position of the other two (four times in fact) but couldn't make it.
They were in a bad way and ended up walking five miles for water. When they finally found the other two of their party, they found that they had been killed and their bodies mutilated by the bandits. Of the two, the customs guy only got off one shot before he was neutralized. The ranger was able to put up a hell of a fight getting off 60 shots before he was killed.
A ranch right on the river near Pilares.
Eventually the three survivors got to a ranch and summoned help that motored out from Marfa. Then they all took to the trail to chase bandits and recover what they could. The bandits split for Mexico, but not before stealing what they could from the bodies.
One of the posse guys told me that they once ran into a USDA agent that was patrolling for and rounding up Mexican cattle that strayed to the US side. He would offload his horse from a trailer, ride around rounding up cattle, put them into a temporary pen he would build as he found them, and then later haul them off for quarantine, etc. I don't think this guy is USDA, but the rig reminded me of the story.
I ran into this ADVer on his KLX 250 (rebranded as a Suzuki) and we stopped and chatted for a while.
When you come from the river area back out to the highway you'll get screened by some border patrol agents. Everyone of them that I met was very professional and seemed like nice folks. From what I could see, they work at their jobs pretty hard, although much of their work must be pretty boring. Seemed like a lot were former military. When we were chatting I asked what kind of wildlife they ran into when they were out knocking around the brush. They said they see rattlesnakes all the time but neither of the two knew of any agent that had been bitten. They did tell me that they have an aggressive and potent rattler in their district (Mojave Rattlesnake) that has more wicked venom and a disposition nasty enough that they had them chase their trucks before. I guess I have heard similar lore about Mojaves before.
Let me add that the Lomas de Arena crossing is just off this path as well. It was a well used crossing for smuggling drugs into the US and guns into Mexico by vehicle. I don't know the current status of this crossing but imagine it is under the watchful eye of the border patrol. A couple of smugglers ran a truck load of marihuana into a ditch on the American side one time. A few days later other smugglers had to go find and recover the load all the while prepared to shoot it out with US authorities in the event a police ambush had been set around the abandoned truck.
It used to be just a quiet crossing for drugs to go out. In fact, the enterprise in Ojinaga had someone keep fuel barrels near here to refuel vehicles. When the barrels were empty they were replenished in Ojinaga. The ranch on the US side had locked gates, but the drug people had keys so they could run the ranch roads to the nearby interstate highway where they used to be able to just disappear in traffic. The guns thing started after a shoot out at the crossing between Presidio and Ojinaga. No one used to check for guns coming into Mexico at Ojinaga - some say because of government protection. Then a drunk and boisterous runner got into a point blank shootout with a young Mexican customs agent after the runner drew down on the the agent who wanted to inspect his vehicle. The US border folks then figured they needed to start checking vehicles going into Mexico for guns themselves. Hence, the illicit gun importing for the Ojinaga folks moved to this crossing.

I was born and raised just on the other side of Fort Stockton, and that is a rough area. I spent my childhood riding bikes around the Fort Davis area on back of my dad's Honda Trail 90. I was back there in Jan. and it has changed very little since the 60's. Great place to visit and ride a bike. You always do a fantastic job with the History wherever you ride. Great report!

Great RR Cannonshot. I've been down there three times. Thought I'd seen a lot..
Looks like I've barely scratched the surface. I will see it differently next time thanks to all the historical perspective you've added.
Just curious, toughest to easiest, please rate King Kong, Godzilla, and Suicide Hills.. I've only ridden KK.

As far as rating the hills, I dunno. I'm just one opinion. My experience for the condition I found them in when I was there is as follows:
The most significant would be Godzilla because of the length of the slope, the loose rock, the steepness, and the erosion.
The next most significant, although not very long, would be Suicide Hill because of steepness, loose rock, and some erosion.
The least significant of the three, although still a great climb and descent, is King Kong. King Kong was in great shape and although it has a couple steep lifts, it also has some less steep "landings" mixed in that allow someone to get back into coordinated flight along the way.
I'll show pix of Suicide and King Kong when I cover another loop I did in BBRSP. Even though it is hard to judge steepness from pictures, people will be able to better make their own judgements once they get a look at all three of them.

Pinto Canyon Road
Once you pop out onto the highway west of Valentine, it is a pavement run back to Marfa. I skip ahead to where we start SW on Texas Hwy 2810. The other points of interest on the US highway were already covered in the Fort Davis day ride loop.
Heading out on 2810 toward Pinto Canyon. This end of the things is paved.
Still scenic and entertaining though.
I think it is a 54 mile leg from Marfa to Ruidosa. Don't forget to get gas in Marfa.
This highway becomes Pinto Canyon Road and turns to gravel.
The Pinto Canyon stuff going through the Chinati Mountains. Pinto means "painted" thus Pinto (Painted) Canyon.
Spectacular scenery along the route.
People ask what the ride is like. It is a great path to just take it easy and look around on.
Some hazards might be that some of the surfaces can be a little slippery with the gravel and the turns and camber may be more about terrain than scientific engineering. Best to take it easy.
I think the path is good for about any bike.
Heading down to Ruidosa (foreground). A town in Mexico is across the river bottoms. Ruidosa means something like "noisy/windy place". I guess it is pretty windy and noisy, especially in the spring.
I didn't have any background on this structure but it would have been a nice place for an outpost.
Despite the no burn ban, I came upon a fire burning in the bush. It was just into Mexico. You could smell it a long way off.
Looking across to Mexico. At one time these towns were more connected to the US than their homeland. Lines of communication were better in this direction. I think some of these places get electricity from this side as well. The local cantina and store commerce between towns that straddled the border seems to have fallen off since things tightened up border-wise in recent years.
These folks were building their adobe home themselves. They would go to Mexico and buy adobe bricks for 50 cents each and bring them back. They went to the place were the bricks were being made. Men were still stomping straw into the mud to mix it.
When I was drafting some GPS routes, I noted that in spite of this bridge being in place in Presidio . . .
. . . the track would sometimes use this dirt road that crossed the wide riverway. There was a dirt path highway of sorts running up the riverbed from the border patrol trucks patrolling the area. I'm sure that blows out every time it rains.
The disheartening thing when you head back to Sauceda at BBRSP is traveling so far on the gravel only to reach this sign at the boundary that says you still have 17 miles of rugged road to go.
Riding back in the dark. It is very dark. At least until later on when your eyes adjust to the darkness and the starlight puts out a pretty substantial glow.
I missed dinner so they left it for me to microwave.
Pretty tasty. Some breakfast and dinner meals were mexican fare as well.
Transferring tracks and photos, some cool drinks, a shower, and off to a very peaceful sleep.

"You can't treat a chronic disease on your own. [Prediabetics] need a team approach to help guide them through [treatment]," said Dr. Qayum.
She notes that even if a person never progress to diabetes, he or she still has harmful conditions occurring in the body, such as inflammation, high blood pressure or abnormal cholesterol levels, that can lead to long-term health problems. A comprehensive prediabetes treatment plan targets these underlying imbalances and can help reverse their devastating effects.
Dr. Qayum said that many factors contribute to a prediabetes diagnosis, but nutrition, in particular, is a serious problem.
"People who are in their 30s and 40s were raised in a generation when soft drinks weren't considered bad," says Dr. Qayum.
It's now known that highly processed food and beverages can spike blood sugar, raise blood pressure and cholesterol levels, and lead to a host of diseases, including obesity, diabetes and heart disease.
Still, many people find it difficult to change their dietary habits–and when combined with other risk factors, a person's system can become overwhelmed, she said.
That's why nutritional balancing–and also hormone balancing–is so critical.
"You have to diagnose a person's nutritional deficiencies to treat them effectively," said Dr. Qayum. She notes that many people are deficient in iodine, vitamin D, CoQ10, and magnesium–important nutrients that are needed to keep the body functioning properly.
In addition to nutritional supplementation, the PreDiabetes Centers tr

But you also have vacuum hoses that feed that solenoid and a check valve that can have issues.
If you want to fix your car, as it is a 1999 model, almost all of your rubber parts under the hood need to be replaced if original. This includes all your coolant hoses as well.
But in the short term, the most common failure points are the lower intake boot, the lower CCV oil return line, the SAP check valve vacuum lines and the DISA O-ring. If your DISA is original, it needs to be replaced at this point anyway.
Thanks. I have already changed both intake boots and will be having the Oil separator and hoses changed on Monday. I will have my mechanic check the vacuum lines also. The DISA O-ring I am waiting to be shipped to me. Hope the DISA device is in good shape still. Its about $200 for that little thing.

News highlights from around the Centrica Group in January
Centrica Energy - Nuclear output hits seven year high
EDF Energy's eight UK nuclear power stations, in which Centrica Energy has a 20% stake, have recorded their highest output for seven years.
Sixty terawatt hours of electricity were generated in 2012, which is enough to power half of the UK's households and is almost 50% higher than their combined output three years ago.
Last year two of the plants, Hinkley Point B in Somerset and Hunterston B in North Ayrshire, had their operating lives extended to 2023 following a series of technical and safety reviews.
Richard Ingham, Centrica Energy's Head of Engineering – Nuclear, said: "This is positive news for the business as a 20% shareholder and offtaker in EDF Energy's existing nuclear power stations.
"It's great to see the highest output for seven years with safety as a real basis for this excellent performance."
British Gas publishes results from CO safety survey.
Research commissioned by British Gas highlights a gap in carbon monoxide awareness. It found that only 16% of households in Cardiff have a carbon monoxide (CO) alarm fitted.
The findings, from interviews with 200 people in the Welsh capital, also revealed that just 22% of respondents were able to identify the symptoms of CO poisoning and only 11% rated having a CO alarm as a top three safety priority.
Around 30 people die each year from CO poisoning after experiencing symptoms that can include headaches, nausea and dizziness.
Dave Bendle, National Incident Manager for British Gas, said: "Carbon monoxide is a silent killer. That's why it's so important that householders should fit a carbon monoxide alarm and ensure they complete an annual gas safety check. It's a small investment which is easy to fit and could save lives."
British Gas engineer Ian Pearce recently spoke to BBC Radio Wales about the results and the perception people have about carbon monoxide safety.
"The worst cases I've seen are when a broken seal or faulty flue diverts fumes into people's homes," he said. "When I've explained how dangerous this is, customers are very concerned, but many people who don't have regular checks or a CO alarm still don't understand the danger."
Carbon monoxide safety and how to save 20% off the price of a new alarm
British Gas helping customers with personalised tariff comparison and energy efficiency improvements
British Gas customers will now be able to see the differences between their tariff and the others available from the business based on the actual amount of energy they use.
A new table appears under the 'Can I save some money?' section of their bill and comes after a launch last year that showed comparisons based on average consumption.
The update will be sent to credit customers twice a year, while 'pay as you go' customers will receive it annually. It forms part of a larger move by the business to give customers a personalised tariff check to help them find the best deal for them.
This is one way British Gas is helping its customers, others include offering free insulation (depending on eligibility criteria) and providing an electricity monitor and access to online tools when switching to an online tariff.
British Gas has been recognised for the energy efficiency improvements it's made to homes in Knowsley in the North West of England as part of its involvement in the Community Energy Saving Programme, which was created by the Government to help deliver energy-saving measures to homes in areas of low-income in the UK.
The business won the 'Judge's Choice Award for Regeneration' at the recent Knowsley Business and Regeneration Awards after carrying out changes to more than 1,000 households in the area.
These included installing wall and loft insulation, replacing inefficient g-rated boilers and swapping out old radiators.
Direct Energy buys gas processing plant
Direct Energy has agreed a deal to own and operate a plant it's been using since 2009 to process oil and gas from its wells around Alberta in Canada.
The purchase of the Watelet gas plant, near Leduc, from Atco Energy Solutions grows the business' infrastructure in the region, which currently includes 22 producing wells.
Direct Energy will continue to process other producers' third-party production through the plant, covering the Watelet, Thorsby, Leduc-Woodbend and Wizard Lake fields.
Direct Energy announces plans to open a new call centre.
Direct Energy has announced that it will create a new Arizona-based call centre in a move that will create up to 300 new jobs.
The Tempe-based office will be responsible for handling calls from the business' Services and Residential customers.
Eddy Collier, President of Direct Energy Services, said: "Our existing Phoenix call centre has been successful for Direct Energy and is bursting at the seams.
"Our new call centre is being expanded to cover call taking for our very large Residential Energy business, allowing us to offer a wide range of products and services in one location for the benefit of our customers."
It's thought that the new site, once it's fully operational by the end of March, will generate around $7 million of investment for the region.
We are innovating to help our customers to understand and control their energy use, helping them to save money and cut carbon emissions.
Centrica is deeply conscious of the cost-of-living challenge facing many of our customers, and we are fully committed to tackling climate change. This is why we have been working to explore pathways for future UK energy policy to 2030 and beyond that are both sustainable and affordable.
Securing long-term affordable energy supplies for our customers is a driving force for how we do business.
British Gas provides gas and power supplies to almost half of Britain's homes. The UK energy sector is facing significant challenges and we are committed to providing greater transparency in order to build trust with our stakeholders.
