But, I do not remember if this particular day was the final Sunday of September in a year earlier this century.
The location is Dinosaur Valley State Park.
Dinosaur Valley State Park has the best mountain bike trails I have rolled my wheels on in Texas.
Actually, Dinosaur Valley State Park has some of the best mountain bike trails I have rolled my wheels on anywhere, as much fun as the famous mountain bike trails in the Moab zone of Utah.
In the photo I am looking at you via my long gone Casio digital camera with its reverse lens option enabling making what are now known as selfies.
Behind me, that is Big Ed. We are standing in the dried up bed of the Paluxy River.
One sees many dinosaur footprints in the dried up riverbed.
The Microsoft OneDrive Memories included a couple photos I took of the dinosaur tracks in the Paluxy River bed, one of which is what you see above.
I hiked and biked in Dinosaur Valley State Park many times when I lived a lot closer than I do now.
One memorable biking time in Dinosaur Valley happened on a Christmas day, early this century. I think the year was 2002. The park was empty. No ranger was bothering monitoring the entry. I had an annual pass, but there was no one to show it to.
I biked for several hours, and then realized it was getting dark. That and I realized I was lost. I got a bit panicky as less and less light illuminated the way. Finally, I came to a trail juncture which I recognized and was then able to make my way back to my vehicle.
I think I need to get a new mountain bike. And take it to Dinosaur Valley State Park...
