Eleven very excited people crowded around seven 4-wheel off-road ATV’s this morning ready to have an exciting adventure. John and I each had our own ATV as did one other lady and four couples shared rides. Jimmy was our leader while Cesar brought up the rear from Can-Doo Adventures ATV Rental.
After a couple of practice runs in the parking lot, we all lined up and followed Jimmy to the wide wash where we spread out and headed inland. The wash ended in a narrow canyon where we drove through small streams of water, then over a rocky hill and into the slot where we walked a short distance to the water fall. This used to be a tall waterfall until the hurricane last September caused a huge runoff that left enough sand and silt to cover the floor of the canyon several feet deep. The wash was both bumpy and smooth, soft sand and hard pack. It was most exhilarating to run full out!
We returned to town and then rode on the beach a short way before turning off and driving up a gravel road that paralleled the coastline. We passed some beautiful homes along this route, most of which were in the million dollar range. The coast north of Los Barriles is very steep and rocky with beautiful aqua blue seas crashing into the rocks. It was so pretty!
