Lows Creek is not your friend - Old Ox Wagon Route

[IDR]

Until I stalled it coming around a bend….. :dousing:

Hey there's an orange block of flats lying there in the road!  And seems like a bike hiding behind it ;D

Very tough route, Canzius, and I can see by the markings it is used fairly often by the 4x4 crowd?

Yes, apparently quite popular with the 4x4 guys. See the link below for more info

That looked bloody fantastic! Hot and sweaty stuff no doubt! How did the 990 go in that stuff? I bought one recently but have to get to bloody Peru to ride it!

Thank yo!

The 990 did great! Some issues with battery on this trip which frustrated Mark, but it is still a very capable bike, despite its age

The poor cattle and drivers of the ox wagons!!!

Was thinking the same thing. There is a spot where the wagons came under fire from British Canons and an Ox Wagon loaded with ammunition was blown up. To this day almost nothing growing on that spot and some scattered remnants of the load it carried

That's not good. Most explosive residues are very good fertilizers....

Perhaps they had a lot of silver in it or maybe arsenic...Would be interesting to do a soil geochemistry sample there.

Wow, that took me back. Used to live in Barberton and worked up in those hills for a few years. Thanks for sharing.
