Old Ore Road wonders for 26 miles across the open desert diving into and back out of gullies and across rock strew open spaces.  Mostly it is a “jeep road” but lucky for us the first 5 miles from the south were graded 1 ½ years ago (that is recently here). Kent gingerly guided the Focus along those precious graded miles to Ernst Tinaja (earthen jar in Spanish) and we had a great hike back into a canyon filled with wildly folded rock layers and smooth sided pools.  We stopped when we reached slick rock pour-offs that exceeded our very novice rock climbing skills.   It was well worth the 45 minutes it took to get there.
