More fun rolling up and down (more down than up) along the powerline road on the southeast side of the McCullough Mountains

I'm glad this road has turned out to be a fun ride, even with the 10-ton bike and a bit of loose rock on the road. Some of the other desert powerline roads have lengthy stretches that are ridiculously steep, and unrideable.
